Wet underfloor heating systems explained
Wet underfloor heating systems heat your home by distributing hot water through pipes laid underneath your flooring. For maximum efficiency and minimal emissions, power your underfloor heating with an electric boiler or air source heat pump.
Key benefits of wet underfloor heating systems
Evenly distributed heat
Frees up wall space
Easy to control
Compatible with all flooring types
Exceptional comfort
Comfortable and convenient
Wet underfloor heating systems combine high efficiency with exceptional comfort levels, because they distribute heat evenly throughout your room. No radiators are needed which frees up valuable wall space.
Efficient and economical
Underfloor heating systems can be up to 25% more efficient than conventional radiators.
Their large surface area effectively turns the entire floor of any room into a giant radiator. This means you can reduce the flow temperature of the water compared to conventional radiators, using less energy while still maintaining room temperature.
Underfloor heating is the perfect partner for an air source heat pump, which can offer up to 500% efficiency!
Best installed in new builds and renovations
Wet underfloor heating systems are best suited to new builds and renovations, where the floor can be designed to hold the pipework and insulation. Once installed, the pipework is topped with a layer of screed, underlay, then the floor covering of your choice.
You can retrofit wet underfloor heating, but you may lose room height as the level of your existing floor will be raised.
