Underfloor Heating Vs Radiators. To make a decision on which option to take it is probably wise to understand the fundamental difference between radiators and wet underfloor heating Whereas radiators heat the air through convection by drawing cool air onto the bottom of the radiator and warming it as it passes through and over the radiator underfloor heating produces radiant heat that warms the fabric of the house from the floor up and makes you feel warm by turning the entire floor into a large radiator.
This is a perfect application for underfloor heating – no pipes or radiators taking up floor space or hot surfaces for toddlers to touch Low grade heat (50C) is an ideal partner for a heat pump and underfloor heating application Mind the field and hall will have to be closed during the installation.
Underfloor heating vs central heating radiators – the pros
Heat Distribution Your choice of a heating system determines the way heat is distributed Underfloor heating produces radiant heat which makes you feel warm Efficiency & Comfort of a System The way the heat is distributed impacts the efficiency and comfort of the heating system Radiant heat heats object directly and it maintains the natural humidity in a room whereas convection of warm air tends to reduce humidity which can make the heated area feel stuffy Overheating Is Inefficient and Expensive Radiators were introduced as a luxury in the 30’s but they are prone to overheating which makes a heating system far less efficient Decorating Your Home Underfloor heating is a decorator’s dream as it does not take up any floor space as the heat source is within the floor Radiator systems are often bulky and need to be inside the room which means that wall space must be allocated.

Whilst a radiator can heat a room within 20 or 30 minutes and will get hot within three or four minutes an underfloor heating system can take between 1 and 2 hours to thoroughly heat a room However it can be programmed to heat around the clock ensuring a room never drops below 16°C so you never need to wait for it to heat up.
