Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is a type of heating in which heat is transferred directly to the floor of the room, creating an even and pleasant heating. It is a modern and efficient way of heating that offers several advantages compared to other forms of heating.

The main advantage of underfloor heating is the even distribution of heat over the entire floor of the room. The heat gradually spreads upwards from the floor, which creates a pleasant and even temperature in the air. This ensures a comfortable and pleasant environment without cold spots or thermal unevenness.

Underfloor heating is also more energy efficient compared to conventional heating systems that heat the air. Due to the lower temperature of the heating medium and the distribution of heat over the entire surface of the floor, energy consumption is lower and reaching the desired temperature is faster and more efficient.

Another advantage of underfloor heating is the aesthetic aspect. It does not require a visible heating element or radiators, which means that the space is free of heating elements. This provides more design options and enables flexible space adjustment regardless of the location of the heating elements.

The heat source of underfloor heating depends on the specific type of underfloor heating. Most often, electric heating cables or heating foils are used, which are installed under the floor material. A heat pump can also be used as a heat source, which obtains heat from the surroundings and distributes it through the floor heating systems.

Underfloor heating can be supplemented with other forms of heating, such as radiators or convectors. In such cases, floor heating serves as an additional heating solution that increases comfort and even distribution of heat in the room.

Overall, it can be said that underfloor heating offers comfortable and efficient heating with an even heat distribution. It is suitable for different types of rooms and brings benefits in terms of energy efficiency and space design.
