FAQ

Under floor heating (UFH) is a modern heating system where warm water or electric cables are installed beneath the floor surface to heat a room evenly from the ground up, providing efficient and comfortable warmth throughout your space.

There are two main types: wet (water-based) under floor heating and electric under floor heating. Wet systems use heated water circulated through pipes, ideal for whole-house heating, while electric systems use mats or cables and are best for smaller areas like bathrooms.

The installation time depends on the system and property type. With wet UFH, most installations in new builds or renovations can be completed within 48–72 hours, while electric systems may take less time for smaller areas.

Yes! Using specialist techniques such as UFH milling, we can install under floor heating in existing floors with minimal disruption, without raising the floor height significantly.

The installation cost of under floor heating is higher than radiators, but running costs are usually lower, especially with wet systems. Over time, energy savings and increased comfort often make UFH more cost-effective.

Under floor heating can be installed under most floor types, including tiles, laminate, engineered wood, and vinyl. Some floors, like solid wood, may require special installation considerations to prevent warping.

Yes! Wet under floor heating works very efficiently with renewable systems such as heat pumps, solar thermal, and high-efficiency boilers, making it an eco-friendly heating solution.

Electric systems heat up quickly, usually within 30–60 minutes, whereas wet systems may take 1–2 hours to reach optimal temperature, depending on floor type and insulation. Once warm, wet UFH maintains consistent heat efficiently.

Absolutely. Under floor heating installation is ideal for offices, retail spaces, and other commercial buildings because it provides even heat, reduces energy consumption, and eliminates bulky radiators, creating a more comfortable environment.
