Heating
Underfloor heating is a modern and efficient heating system that is installed directly under the floor covering in the home or building. This system is a network of heating elements that spread heat evenly over the entire surface of the floor. Underfloor heating can use different technologies, including water heating, electric heating or infrared panels.
### How does underfloor heating work?
1. **Water heating:**
- Water underfloor heating uses pipes running under the floor through which hot water circulates. This water is heated by the central heating device (eg boiler or heat pump) and transfers heat to the floor, which in turn gives off heat to the environment.
2. **Electric heating:**
- Electric underfloor heating uses special heating cables or mats placed under the floor covering. These cables heat up when current passes through them and give off heat that is transferred to the floor and the environment.
3. **Infrared panels:**
- Infrared panels are thin panels installed under or on top of the flooring that emit infrared rays. These rays heat objects and surfaces in the room, including the floor, and provide a cozy and even heat.
### Benefits of underfloor heating:
- **Even distribution of heat:** Underfloor heating ensures an even distribution of heat throughout the room, preventing cool spots and hot spots.
- **Higher efficiency:** Due to the low operating temperature required to maintain a comfortable heat, underfloor heating is generally more efficient than traditional radiator systems.
- **Improved comfort feeling:** The heat emitted by underfloor heating feels more comfortable on bare feet and provides a more pleasant feeling on cold surfaces.
- **Aesthetics:** Floor heating is hidden under the floor and does not take up space in the room, which allows greater freedom in the design and furnishing of the interior.
Floor heating is a modern and convenient alternative to traditional heating systems, providing comfortable and efficient heating in the home or office.
