Continental underfloor heating can be used in both residential and commercial properties. This underfloor heating system is water based. No matter what your existing heating supply system is at present, the Continental underfloor heating system can be incorporated.

This underfloor heating system is easily installed. The heat is created by a circuit of pipes that is laid below your flooring. Heated water runs through these pipes to heat the area. Underfloor heating is becoming more popular in the UK as it has already been for some time across the rest of Europe.

With minimalist room décor being so popular, underfloor heating is ideal as it suits this style; you receive optimum heat without seeing the source. You no longer need to design a room to incorporate radiators that take up space and often don’t suit the style of the room. The heating thermostat is the only small item that would be required on display.

The Continental underfloor heating system is also more environmentally friendly than many other heating options. The room stays warmer for longer as the heat is provided from the ground up. The temperature of the water circulating round the pipes is not as hot as conventional radiators as the pipes cover a larger surface area. This means that your energy consumption will be less, which will in turn reduce your fuel bill.

The heat provided by underfloor heating is different from conventional radiated heat. The majority of heat from underfloor heat is radiant rather than convected heat whereas radiators are the opposite. Underfloor heating provides a more comfortable heat by heating the floor’s surface, which in turn then heats the air above it.
