Piped underfloor heating works by running hot water through pipes embedded within a floor screed. Therefore, people most commonly use it in extensions and new builds. However, there are other types available that suit wooden floors and floating floors.
Whilst it is the most expensive and invasive install, it provides the lowest long-term running costs. You can even use it in place of traditional room radiators, thus freeing up valuable wall space. Furthermore, this will eliminate the cold draughts and warm spots common with radiators.
Piped (hydronic) underfloor heating uses hot water, so it can be linked to virtually any heating system. Not only standard boilers, but also more sustainable solutions.
