Underfloor Heating is an efficient and effective home heating system used as the main form of heating or as additional “zone” heating more usually found in kitchens and bathrooms where tiled floors are common.

This form of heating uses all three methods of heating: conduction, convection and radiation (radiant heat) to provide warmth that many consider provides the most natural and comfortable heating for people.

So, how does it work? and why is it so comfortable? Please read on:

• What is Radiant Heat?
• What forms of heat does Underfloor Heating use?
• Why is Underfloor Heating so comfortable?
• What makes Underfloor Heating efficient and effective?
• How is room temperature controlled?

I hope this article has explained how Underfloor Heating works and why it’s so effective, efficient and comfortable.
