The Best Rooms for Underfloor Heating in your Home
Once you’ve decided that you want to install Underfloor Heating in your home – you then need to think specifically what room(s) to install it. Of course, this totally depends on your own preferences and specifics – so let VPS Underfloor Heating detail out the best room for your Underfloor Heating system.
The Bathroom
Instead of stepping out of your warm shower in cold December, imagine a warm, luxurious floor instead – underfloor heating in your bathroom might just be a killer upgrade!
What kind of UFH is required?
- Electric Heating Mats: Electric underfloor heating mats are a very popular choice. Unlike wet systems, electric underfloor heating can be installed and fitted in a short space of time, in fact some projects can be done as DIY without the need for an electrician at all. Just time and patience required.
- Check out our Electric Underfloor Heating range and past Electric UFH articles in our blog section.
Remember – Proper waterproofing is crucial to prevent any water damage. Always ensure a qualified professional handles the installation process.
Investing in underfloor heating for your bathroom can transform your morning routine, offering a touch of luxury and year-round comfort plus Electric UFH can be retrofitted, so no need to start lifting up floors or starting any major building work
The Kitchen
The kitchen is often the focal point for any family home – everyone starts the day at breakfast and then congregate there in the evening for family dinner. So why note make cooking and dinner-prep time more comfortable with warm cosy floors.
What kind of UFH is required?
- Both Electric and Water Underfloor Heating systems are often suitable for a kitchen project – plus they are suitable for many kinds of floor types – like hardwood, tile or carpet.
- Take a look at our Water Underfloor Heating systems and see what would work for your upcoming kitchen overhaul.
Kitchen floors often take some punishment with spills always likely – with a warm floor – these little spills won’t linger for too long.
The Bedroom
During the winter once that alarm goes off, the last thing you want is your feet hitting that cold floor – so underfloor heating in the bedroom is always a popular option. Additionally, since heat radiates upwards, your underfloor heating system can also provide a very comfortable sleeping environment.
What kind of UFH is required?
- Once again, Electric Underfloor Heating would be the way to go – with hardwood, laminate and carpet being relatively simple surfaces to install under – plus once installed, Electric UFH needs very minimal upkeep.
While upkeep is minimal – periodic checks to either your Electric or Water UFH system is always recommended to ensure everything stays in working order.
The Living Room
Probably one of the most popular locations for Underfloor Heating would be the Living Room – again a very central area of any house due to so many people deciding to move away from the traditional radiator and opt for UFH instead.
- Again, both Electric and Water Underfloor Heating systems are suggested for a living room project – with hardwood, carpet and tile all very suitable surfaces.
- Additionally, once radiators are removed – cold spots are often eradicated as well plus your removed radiator will give you a lot of extra valuable wall space. This leads to a more modern look to your rooms, that are now no longer hampered by radiator placement.
