Underfloor heating for new builds

UFH is cost-effective and simple to install as part of a new build project, fitting neatly into the build schedule.

UFH installation comes in at a similar price to installing new traditional radiator systems. This means those building new properties can benefit from a far superior heating system without paying extra.

As a low-temperature heating system, UFH is incredibly efficient in the well-insulated environment of a new build, using little energy, and is also perfectly suited to renewable heat sources, like heat pumps.

Key Features

  • Suitable for almost any floor structure or covering.
  • Underfloor heating efficiency - Warm water underfloor heating uses far lower flow temperatures than a radiator system. Because it covers a much larger surface area it is still able to heat the room effectively. For this reason, warm water underfloor heating is around 25% more efficient than radiators.
  • Hidden heating solution - Underfloor heating is an ‘invisible’ heating system as the tube is hidden beneath the floor. This frees up wall space, ideal for open plan living and rooms such as kitchens where space is at a premium.
  • Wet underfloor heating is safe - Warm water underfloor heating has no exposed hot or sharp edges – a safe option for young children and the elderly.
  • Warm feet, luxuriously comfy - With underfloor heating, the heat gently emits upwards from the floor. This gives the luxurious feel of warm feet and a cool head without any cold spots common with radiators.

Electric underfloor heating vs. water underfloor heating - what's the difference?

There are two main forms of underfloor heating used in homes. The first of these is electric underfloor heating, which is often called a dry system. The second is hydronic underfloor system, which uses water to heat it. This is often referred to as wet under floor heating.

The two are similar, as they have the same effect. However, they both have their pros and cons.

Electric UFH is generally more expensive than wet underfloor heating systems. However, it is also much cheaper and faster to install. Because of this, dry systems tend to be opted for in smaller areas, where builders are on a budget.

Hydronic UFH, on the other hand, is more costly to install initially, but in the long-run will save homeowners a significant amount of money.

Generally speaking, UFH wet floor screeds are thought to be more efficient and of a more high standard than electric screeds.

What type of underfloor heating system is the best?

Screeded wet underfloor heating systems are the most popular types of UFH, and are generally considered to be the best quality. Liquid screed UFH refers to a 'hyrdonic system' -- one which uses water to heat it rather than electricity.

Wet underfloor heating is more efficient than other kinds of heating system. Compared to traditional radiators, UFH is 25% more efficient when paired with a modern condensing boiler and 40% more efficient when it is run from a heat pump. This is because (unlike a gas or oil boiler) a heat pump generates hot water at a lower temperature. This helps to keep heating costs down.

Another benefit of using hydronic UFH systems is that they can be easily coupled with renewable heating methods. This includes solar thermal energy and heat source pumps.

Hydronic underfloor heating can be coupled with renewable heating sources such as solar thermal and air source heat pumps.
