Types of Underfloor Heating Systems

Warm Water/Wet Underfloor Heating System

This system comprises a series of flexible polyethene pipes installed under the floor and hot water used in the pipes. The pipes are installed on an insulation layer to ensure the upward flow of heat, which is then covered with screed and flooring. They are then connected with a device known as a manifold connected to the boiler or a heating system; the entire system can easily be controlled by a thermostat and a programmer.

This system can operate from 27°C to 31°C, and its heat output depends on the room size, insulation, screed depth, and flooring material.

Electric Underfloor Heating System

In an electric underfloor heating system, heating mats consisting of heating cables are laid under the floor over a screed layer of sand and cement to ensure heat flow in an upward direction. Then the heating wires are connected with mains electricity which can be controlled via a thermostat.

Before buying an electric underfloor system, it is vital to check the system if it provides the correct wattage for your requirements. The range of this system varies between 100W and 200W, with a temperature range of 25 to 30°C.

Process of Underfloor Heating System Installation

Our underfloor heating engineers in Leicester follow a systematic approach to underfloor heating installation:

  • We conduct a thermal heat inspection to identify inefficient areas where energy is being lost.
  • After inspection, we determine the suitable size of the underfloor heating system according to your requirements.
  • We place insulation panels under the floor to minimise heat losses and keep the system working efficiently.
  • We connect the system with mains electricity and the thermostat.
  • After the underfloor heating installation, our specialist engineers ensure the system works efficiently by switching it on and monitoring the room temperature.

FAQ

The required wattage will depend on certain factors, including the room size, insulation, and the type of flooring used below and above the heat mats. A small room with good insulation will require low-wattage heat mats, whereas a large room with poor flooring material will require higher-wattage heat mats to be installed.

Warm water underfloor heating systems can work optimally with any fuel, including gas, heat pumps, LPG, or solar heating panels.

One of the economical ways to run underfloor heating is to ensure that the temperature is not set too high; you can set a temperature of 21°C for living rooms and dining rooms and 18°C for bedrooms. £60 per year can be saved by lowering the temperature of the heating system by 1 degree (Energy Saving Trust, April 2020).

In cold weather, you can always keep the underfloor heating on to warm up the rooms, but you should keep the temperature low.
