Underfloor heating or "ufh" systems turns conventional heating drawbacks into advantages.

i.e. The warmest part of the room will always be the floor, which is exactly where it is needed most, as there are a large number of people who have warm homes, but cold feet.

Completely invisible heating throughout your home without the constraints that radiators and their supply pipes have always provided.

Lower running costs, especially linked to a modern condensing boiler or other heat sources such as solar and geo-thermal etc...

Safer temperatures and less danger to the elderly and small children.

UFH systems create an even heat distribution from floor to ceiling.

Panel radiators work primarily by creating convection currents of hot air and generate only a small proportion of radiated heat.

Underfloor heating emits more heat by radiation than by convection, this fact alone makes rooms feel more comfortable. Since the floor also radiates heat over its entire surface there are no hot or cold areas - instead a consistently comfortable indoor climate is produced throughout.

A UFH systems heat through the floor the air temperature is always highest at floor level, decreasing at the ceiling. This ensures occupants feel more comfortable and alert with cool heads and warm feet. Radiator heating creates the oppposite effect.
