1. More economical to run. Underfloor heating provides constant warmth and needs to be heated to lower temperatures than radiators in order to provide heat.
2. Constant, consistent warmth throughout all areas that have underfloor heating – no cold spots! Radiators heat one area and are controlled by a thermostat, which determines the radiator output based on the temperature in the thermostat location. This means that homes can have cool spots and warm spots as the warm air from the radiators disperses throughout the room. In fact, underfloor heating is so efficient that it can reduce heating bills by 15%.
3. Space saving. Unlike radiators, which can take up room, gather dust and, quite frankly, just look plain ugly, underfloor heating is literally invisible. It doesn’t take up any space and allows you to plan your home décor based on form, not function.
4. Versatile. People may think that underfloor heating limits your flooring options but in fact, it works equally well with vinyl, laminate, wood, carpet and stone. What’s more, it is super easy to install, especially if you incorporate it into another heating upgrade or renovation project.

When it comes to making home improvements it is a case of working out the short term cost versus the longer term benefits and savings. However, personal preference comes into it too; if you are not sure about the best choice for you, speak to us for advice.
