Under Floor Heating
Under floor heating is the most efficient and luxurious form of heating devised by man.
Its roots going back 3000 years to Korea where heat was ducted through the floors. A
similar system was used by the Romans 2000 years ago. Today, under floor heating
still thrives in Korea using the latest method and most efficient method is to pump
warm water under the floor in the latest leak proof piping systems. In Northern Europe
warm water under floor heating has really caught on and there are reports of it being
installed in 80% of new buildings, in the UK it’s only 15% but were catching up - its
fast becoming the preferred choice with new house builders and renovators as the
most efficient way to reduce carbon footprint, cut heating costs.
Scientific principals confirm that we feel warm and comfortable if the air temperature
around them is just 5 or 6 degrees Centigrade above blood heat. This can easily be
achieved by turning the whole floor into a giant radiator with warm air gently rising
naturally from the floor and cooling on its way to the ceiling. Typically with under floor
heating the floor air temperature is 22 C, a metre up from the floor its 18 C and the
ceiling is 16 C.
This runs counter to traditional radiator central heating which works on completely
different principals. Heat from a radiator is thrown up to the ceiling where it collects
before being forced down to the floor to heat the people in the room. Typically the
floor air temperature away from the radiator is 14 C, a metre up from the floor its 18C
and the ceiling is 24C. We’ve all experienced overheated rooms where we have hot
heads and cold feet.
Heating the floor instead of the ceiling seems such a simple and logical solution to
heating that it begs the question as to why it’s taken so long to become popular in the
UK. Huge cost savings can also result from warm water underfloor heating - radiators
require water to be heated up to 80C whilst in underfloor it is between 30 C to 40 C
&this huge difference in temperature results in savings of up to 30 % on heating bills.
It also means that several different types and combinations of heat sources can be
used to produce warm water: solar, heat pumps, wood chip, biomass, electric, oil, coal
and gas.
