Underfloor Heating Vs Conventional Radiators
Underfloor heating is a radiant form of heating which helps to create a consistent ambient heat in the heated space unlike radiators which are a forced convective heat. As the heat is coming from the floor below there are no hot or cold spots in the room which are normally associated with radiator systems. The heated floor is warm on your feet and also helps to kill off dust mites in the home. It is the perfect heat emitter when combined with ground or air source heat pumps as the lower flow temperature will allow for a higher coefficient of performance (COP) from the associated heat pump system which helps to drive down running costs. Typically Underfloor Heating will operate at a maximum flow temperature of 35℃ compared to 80℃ with radiators. It frees up wall space and avoids the risk of glowing hot radiators which can be a risk when there are young children in the home. One thing that might come to the surprise of most people is that the installation cost is on par per square metre with a radiator system, which may not have been the case 10 or 15 years ago when underfloor heating was less common.
As the inventor of the Tacker system, Roth is among the leading suppliers of radiant heating and cooling systems. With millions of systems proving their worth out in the field, Roth comes equipped with years of experience and thus with the greatest amount of technological know-how. Every single component for the Underfloor Systems we install are sourced from Roth and this enables us to provide the 10 year system warranty that comes with each installation.
