Underfloor Heating Systems - Benefits and Features - Radiators and convectors are capable of heating well for sure but they are based on a mechanism that creates a vertical temperature gradient. This means that the air around the floor is much cooler than the air around the head. On the contrary, the UF heating mechanisms create more warmth closer to the floor. |

<a href="http://www.varne.co.uk">Underfloor heating systems</a> are often called invisible heating systems. Rather than occupying precious walking space or wall space, these systems can be conveniently installed under the floor or floor tiles. Underfloor heating and Radiator Heating are different in many ways. One of the major differences is that unlike radiators, underfloor heaters can heat up an enclosed space in a natural manner.
Here are some of the benefits and features of underfloor heating systems:
Space
These heating systems are great space savers and can make use of each square metre of your floor space effectively. All you need to do is make sure that your house and its walls are properly insulated.
Economics
If you think that installing such kind of a heating mechanism is costly, you are wrong! Most of these systems aren't any costlier than radiators and are 30% more effective than them as well.
Hygiene
Do you know that conventional wall-mountable radiators often become a convenient place for dust mites and can create health problems for people suffering from asthma? Unlike radiators, these heating systems are free of all such problems. Their low moisture content inhibits the growth of dust mites.
Convenience
Underfloor heating methods are convenient as they are easy to install and are completely invisible. Due to this, you'll not have to compromise with the design of your house just for the fact that you have to install a full-size radiator as well.
Silence and Comfort
These heating mechanisms are the most comfortable of them all as they will provide an even temperature throughout the enclosed space. Compared to noisy radiator systems that get noisier as time passes by, these systems operate quietly. You won't even know that they are switched on but you are sure going to feel the warmth.
Cost Effectiveness
This mechanism is a great energy saver!
Control
The systems are practically self regulating. You won't need to make any adjustments once you've installed them.
Why?
Heating Methods
Well, there are many reasons to make use of such a heating method over traditional radiators or heat convectors. This heating mechanism gently warms the air above the floor and eliminates all cold spots. The warm air rises from the floor and loses around 2°C at two meters above the floor. This property makes the system an ideal heating system for homes as well as commercial establishments.

This means that the air around the floor is much cooler than the air around the head. On the contrary, the UF heating mechanisms create more warmth closer to the floor.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption is lesser as a result of low water temperatures (in case of wet UF heating mechanisms).
The pipes used in its construction are made of high quality plastic.
