The heating system you select will impact how heat is distributed throughout your home. You feel warm and comfortable with our underfloor heating's radiant heat. The reason "radiant heating" is used is because radiation plays a major role in producing "thermal comfort" in this kind of heating.

In conventional convection heating systems, large volumes of air are constantly rising and falling, which causes drafts and dust movement. Additionally, because the heat is usually coming from the wall, leaving your feet cold and your upper body hot, this heating system is less comfortable than underfloor heating. Our underfloor heating specialist Birmingham runs at lower temperatures and offers greater comfort since it generates heat from the floor, which is larger than that of radiators. This keeps your upper body at a comfortable temperature.

Comfort and underfloor heating efficacy

The way the heat is distributed affects the comfort and efficiency of the heating system. Warm air convection tends to diminish humidity, which can make a heated space feel stuffy. In contrast, radiant heat maintains the natural humidity in a room and directly heats objects.

Radiant heat distributes heat very uniformly throughout the entire floor of the space, whereas conventional heating heats one area at first and takes time to circulate to achieve the required comfort levels. Using conventional heating to raise the air's temperature might cause discomfort and overheating. Radiant floor heating is as close to the flawless heating system for your home as it gets. It removes cold patches and reduces the risk of overheating the body by providing even heat where it is needed. Underfloor heating uses 15% to 20% less energy at lower temperatures while producing the same amount of heat output as a radiator system. Underfloor heating becomes more economical and effective as a result.
