Why choose Under Floor Heating?

‘What have the Romans ever done for us’. OK, so it wasn’t on Monty Python’s list but it should have been. There is nothing wrong with radiators and in some instances can be a more appropriate option but underfloor heating (UFH) brings a new dimension to comfort levels from central heating systems whatever the heat source. Using the floor slab to warm structural elements of the house, including everyday items such as tables, chairs, internal walls and furnishings, provides a uniform even heat throughout the entire room being heated. With good control systems the ‘hot one-minute, cold the next’ cycle from poorly controlled radiators is a thing of the past.

UFH provides radiator free walls, does not limit furniture placement within the rooms and means you can now have those full length curtains you always wanted. UFH provides a clean, silent and invisible heating system – free of dust traps.

With correct control, UFH systems can also be used for comfort cooling by using the floor slab as a heat sink as opposed to a heat emitter. Just one more reason to pick a heat pump as the primary heating and comfort cooling source to perfectly complement the UFH system.

As a leading specialist in heating and cooling homes, Hex Energy can offer design, specification, installation and service to give you peace of mind. Unlike UFH merchants who often issue generic designs, all Hex Energy designs are bespoke to your property. We consider the heat load for each room, pipework requirements, controls and efficient installation of the UFH pipe work. We do not simply use 150 mm pipe spacing because the heat source is a heat pump. There is more to UFH design than churning out generic installations which can lead to poor comfort with overheating rooms and ‘yo-yo’ temperatures.
