Under-floor heating is the most comfortable form of heating because it is largely radiant. It is completely unobtrusive, but the main benefit must be that it allows complete flexibility to re-arrange a room without regard to radiator positions. It saves space, is more hygienic than radiators, gives a more even room temperature and it is more energy efficient.
Under floor heating doesn’t need to be the most expensive option either. Given the comparable cost of designer radiators it can often be the most cost efficient solution to heating requirements.
We have installed warm water systems and electric mat systems in a variety of situations to give a room that warm feeling that our feet (and our cats!) really love.
