The advantages of underFloor Heating

For all buildings...

Warm-water underfloor heating works efficiently in every kind of building, from conservatory and extensions to snug cottage, in homes and care centres, churches and mosques, industrial buildings and warehouses and on up to modern schools and hospitals.

...and any heat sources

One of the great strengths and advantages of warm-water underfloor heating is that it can be connected to any heat source. What ever the future brings with fuel costs or new technology, LK Underfloor Heating will work with any new heat source in exactly the same way as before.

A clever heat solution...

Underfloor heating provides a different and pleasing sensation of warmth and comfort to radiators. Instead of the heat being localised to one or two places in a room, the entire floor surface works as gentle radiator; further, the heat comes from the right place – from below. There is less convection, which in turn reduces dust circulation; a relief for allergy sufferers.

...and beautiful

Underfloor heating spares you the inconveniences of radiators and pipes along the walls; no more decorating behind radiators and no more furniture blocking you from the heat.

You now have total freedom to decorate and furnish your as you wish.

Good heat economy

More even heat and comfort means you can reduce the indoor temperature by a couple of degrees, without feeling colder or less comfort.

A well insulated building and underfloor heating, combined with modern heat source technology, for instance a heat pump, can save a small fortune in running costs – money you can spend on other luxuries. Further, UFH installed in screed can be both cheaper to purchase and install than radiator systems.

Underfloor heating is nothing new!

Underfloor heating is smart and clever, but actually not a new invention. It was not even new when it became more common in Europe some 35 years ago. Far from it, the first comparable systems were installed in 80BC by the Romans. They called it the Hypocaust, a system of clay pipes and channels under the floor that conducted hot smoke from a fire before escaping through a chimney.
