No cold spots

As “UK-winter-surviors” we all know how tricky it can be to stay warm at home and keep the costs low. Even with radiators blasting, socks and slippers are needed to brave stepping onto cold floors. With underfloor heating, your house will be completely free of any cold spots or pesky drafts taking away from the warmth you’re trying to achieve. Walk around, allow your little one to crawl, or pamper your precious pet’s paws with peace knowing that the home is evenly warm from the ground up.

Safety and comfort

With underfloor heating, you no longer need to worry about surfaces in access that are hot to the touch or have harsh edges. This heating system is tucked out of the way whilst giving you maximum warmth meaning any younger members of the household are snug without worry. As well as this, radiant heat from underfloor heating is much better for air quality as it keeps it fresh and oxygen-rich. With radiators, there is a decrease in oxygen levels and as the thermal air rises to the ceiling and back down dust is able to circulate the room meaning more allergens are in the air. Underfloor heating gives you a safe solution to these issues.
