How does underfloor heating work?

UFH is an efficient heating method which warms people and objects from the ground up. It can be up to 30% more efficient when compared to traditional radiators.

The two types of UFH are wet (hydronic) and electric. A wet UFH system carries hot water through pipes to distribute heat across the room. An electric system uses mats or loose cables, connected to your mains electricity supply.

The best solution for your home may vary depending on your project. Contact our knowledgeable staff to let us guide you through the process.

Radiant Heat

The entire floor surface is uniformly heated. Efficient distribution of heat ensures a consistent and comfortable level of warmth.

Convection Heat

Radiators heat specific areas within a space. This method can cause uneven temperatures throughout the room.

What are the benefits?

Underfloor heating offers a range of benefits compared to other methods. You can find out more about the benefits and the main reasons to instal it in your home on our UFH Blog.

Enhanced comfort

Underfloor heating removes cold spots in a room by warming the entire floor surface. This creates a warm living environment that feels even better on your feet.

Energy Efficient

UFH runs at a lower temperature than traditional methods. This is more energy efficient and can lead to savings and a reduced carbon footprint.

Space Saving

Installed beneath the floor, UFH allows greater use of space. Furniture can be placed against walls and there’s no need to huddle around a radiator for warmth.

Increased Control

Rooms/zones can be managed independently, allowing greater control in your home. This can lead to savings and the perfect environment in every room.

Any Floor Covering

Underfloor heating can be paired with almost any floor covering. It is the perfect partner to keep tiles warm in winter and works well with laminate, wood, and carpets.

FAQ’s

We have answered a few common questions. If you need some advice, give us a call. see more FAQ’s

VPS do not install underfloor heating, we only specialise in design and supply.

Although we do not install your system we have a wealth of expert knowledge to guide you through the process. Our team are on hand to provide advice whether you are an installer or DIY. If you are looking for an installer, we have a range of contacts across the UK whom we can put you in contact with.

We provide a free quotation through our online form. Send us your floorplan, provide us with some details and we will get back to you within 24 hours!

We also provide a design service with every order. This includes a detailed A3 plan of the system showing the layout of pipes within each room.

The cost of materials can vary. Factors affecting this Include the type of system, the size, the quality of materials, and installation requirements.

Water UFH:

Pipe: Cost will vary depending on the quality of the pipe used.
Manifolds: Manifolds are required to distribute the heat through pipes. The cost of manifolds can vary based on the number of zones and quality.
Pump and mixing Valves: These components are essential and can vary in cost based on brand. We only sell premium products using Grundfos pumps and ESBE mixing valves.
Thermostats: Costs vary depending on the number of zones and type of thermostat.

There are wide variations in the prices charged by different merchants. Researching both quality and price is crucial to obtaining a well-rounded perspective.

Electric UFH:

Mats or Cables: The primary component is the cable or mat. The cost of these materials depends on the brand, quality, and coverage. Higher-quality, more efficient cables or mats may be more expensive.
Thermostat: The thermostat you choose to control the electric system will vary in price depending on the features and brand.
Floor Insulation: Installing insulation beneath the UFH cables or mats is necessary to improve efficiency and reduce heat loss. The cost of insulation materials will depend on the type and thickness required.
Other Accessories: You may need additional materials like adhesive, adhesive tape, and floor sensors for the thermostat.

We help you assess your needs and provide a detailed UFH quote. We consider your unique requirements and recommend the best materials for your system. It is valuable to consider the cost of installing UFH.

Underfloor heating can be completed by a competent DIYer.

Electric requires less preparation and can be laid using the installation manual within the box. We recommend using an electrician to connect the thermostat. Find out more about electric UFH installation.

Water requires more preparation and components. Floor preparation, laying pipes, and other simple plumbing can be handled by most. We recommend that a qualified plumber connect the manifold to the heating system and that a qualified electrician install controls. Ensure you understand the process before starting your installation.

Not everyone has the time or skills to complete the installation. If you’re looking for an installer, get in touch, we’ll provide a contact for some of our trusted trade customers.

Not all furniture is suitable for underfloor heating. It is important to consider material and design, here are some features to consider:

Choose Furniture with Legs: Flat furniture placed directly on the ground will trap the heat below. Choose furniture with legs to allow heat to pass into the air and around the item.
Opt for Good Heat Conductors: Materials that conduct heat well are suited to a heated floor. These materials help distribute the warmth across the room.
Avoid using flat-based furniture: Flat-based furniture will prevent heat distribution from your floor. This is important for electric UFH and could cause the elements in the mat to overheat. If you keep some flat-based furniture, design around these items.
Use Rugs Wisely: Rugs can add an extra layer, trapping heat below. Choose a rug with a low tog rating to allow heat to pass through easily.

Choosing appropriate furniture will improve the comfort and efficiency of your home.
