Looking for a new way to heat up your bathroom? Well, if you’ve had enough of stepping out the warm shower onto the cold bathroom floor you’re in the right place. Underfloor heating is a great versatile heating system that can be used on many different surfaces, but how do you know if it’s the right choice for you?
Pros and Cons of underfloor heating systems
There are many advantages to underfloor heating systems. One of the key benefits that most people overlook is the fact that your floor will be heated evenly, leaving no cold spots throughout the room. Having a warm bathroom floor to walk across will ensure that you keep those winter shivers away. Did you know that warming up your feet helps your blood vessels to dilate (vaso-dilation). This releases heat through the skin and ensures a lower core body temperature which can help you sleep better. Our self adhesive mats are another great addition to your home as they are designed to roll out and install easily onto any surface. You won’t need to remodel your bathroom to have this luxury. Finally, did we forget to mention that underfloor heating is 40% more efficient than radiators!
One of the major drawbacks with this heating system is its set up cost and payback time (especially if you want to install it under an existing floor). Once installed the underfloor heating systems require very little maintenance, however if you do ever run into a problem there’s always a chance you’ll have to rip up some flooring to find a solution.
Flexibility
We believe that putting in an underfloor heating system shouldn’t cost you any flexibility, in fact we believe it can make your life more flexible. Not only can you control your heating throughout the day with thermostats that can connect remotely through wifi, but the systems will be fitted under a screed and matting. This means you can change your bathroom tiles whenever you like without having to put in an entirely new heating system.
