Low Profile Wet Underfloor Heating

What is Low Profile Wet Underfloor Heating? 

Underfloor heating is an excellent way to achieve cost-effective, efficient warmth, especially if it is a water-based system. A water-based underfloor heating system involves a series of pipes installed beneath the floor that connect to your boiler. When you switch on your boiler, it will pump hot water through these pipes underneath the floor covering. These hot pipes then emit heat, which rises upward, warming the room evenly. A low-profile wet underfloor heating system is ideal for your home. Many underfloor heating systems can increase the height of your floor, leading to an unsightly appearance and uneven flooring. A low-profile system means it does not raise the floor level, and you won’t be able to tell it’s there. 

Underfloor Store stocks a great range of low-profile underfloor heating in the form of low-profile screeded kits.  

Can I Get Wet Underfloor Heating in My Home? 

Any home can have some form of underfloor heating, but whether you should choose wet or electric depends on your home and flooring type. Wet underfloor heating is usually best for new build homes underneath stone or tiles, whereas electric underfloor heating works well under carpets in both old and new build homes. Low-profile wet underfloor heating is ideal for any situation; because it doesn’t raise the floor height too much, it can suit any flooring type, making it suitable for both new and old build homes without restrictions. 

Why Get Wet Underfloor Heating? 

Most homes have traditional radiators and boiler-based heating systems that can be very expensive during winter. These often break down and require costly maintenance. Wet underfloor heating is a cost-effective alternative that requires little upkeep; being modern and recently installed, it offers a long lifespan. A key benefit of low-profile wet underfloor heating is the minimal increase in floor height, along with the even radiant temperatures it provides; there are no hot or cold spots, just uniform warmth throughout the room. Installing underfloor heating in your home also gives you more freedom with your decor, as there are no bulky radiators to obstruct your design plans. Furthermore, you won't need to worry about safety hazards because underfloor heating doesn’t get hot to the touch like radiators, nor does it have sharp edges that pets or children could injure themselves on. Ultimately, wet underfloor heating adds a layer of comfort, as the floor remains warm enough to walk or sit on comfortably. It can also enhance your property’s value, as it is considered a modern feature.
