1.1 What is Wet underfloor heating?
Warm water is circulated through a series of pipes laid in the floor at the time of construction. These pipes are of the highest standard and form a continuous loop between two central manifolds. Each room has its own circuit and is individually controlled putting the heat exactly where you want it.
1.2 Why is Wet Underfloor Heating better than a radiator system?
A radiator central heating systems work primarily by creating convection currents of hot air supplemented by some radiated heat. It also picks up fine dust from the floor and distributes it into the air and over the furnishings. This convection results in the floor being the coolest part of the room and leaves a mass of warm air at ceiling level. This can mean that much of the energy, which had been put into the room, is wasted and not in the area you want it to be. Radiant energy emitted by underfloor heating is partly reflected by each surface and partly absorbed. Where it is absorbed, that surface becomes a secondary emitter. After a while, all surfaces become secondary emitters. Furnishings themselves radiate energy and the room becomes evenly and uniformly warmed. The energy reaches into every corner of the room - no cold spots, no hot ceilings and no cold feet. Finally radiators are fixed to the walls and cannot be moved, therefore limiting where you can place furniture. One of the main advantages for having underfloor heating is that it eliminates the design drawbacks of radiators.
1.3 Why should I choose Wet Underfloor Heating?
With an underfloor heating1 system the heat surrounds you. The source, hidden away under the floor is invisible and ideal for modern living. Warm water is pumped through a continuous loop of plastic pipe (no joints under the floor eliminate the potential for connections leaking) placed under either a solid or timber floor. Your living areas are free from radiators giving a clean interior design and maximum usable wall space. Furniture can be positioned without the constraint of radiators. The room is an even comfortable temperature with no cold spots. Ceramic and hard finish floors feel warm and welcoming. Individual room temperature control can be provided with hard wired or wireless programmable room thermostats.
1.4 Will Wet Underfloor Heating work in my conservatory?
Underfloor heating is ideal for conservatories. To comply with Part 'L' of the building regulations, you must install control's that allow switching off the underfloor heating when not required. Conservatories tend not to have much wall space to install radiators making an Underfloor Heating system ideal.
1.5 Can I have Wet Underfloor Heating in the bathroom only?
Yes underfloor heating1 have a kit specifically for bathrooms that require no wiring. Please click on link for more information.
1.6 Can I still have a Wet Underfloor Heating System installed if my build is at an advanced construction stage?
Yes, this can be done, depending on your floor construction. In suspended timber floors, where your floor levels are already decided, (preventing you from laying the pipes on top of your joists), you can install the pipes in-between the joists. Our in house design team will design the underfloor heating system specifically for each individual project.
1.7 Can I have Wet Underfloor Heating installed in my existing home?
Each project is different. In most cases, yes you can and we are always willing to discuss any queries you may have regarding installing underfloor heating in your home.
1.8 Can I fit a Wet Underfloor Heating system in a suspended timber ground floor?
You can install underfloor heating between the joists in suspended timber ground floors however, as there is less thermal mass, the heat output will be lower, approximately 70-80 W/m² depending on floor make up and floor finish. Depending on how much you improve the insulation you may need to add some supplementary heat for those really cold days. The pipes are clipped to 50mm Kingspan or equivalent high density insulation at 100mm centres in joists
packed with rockwool on top of sterling board or plywood fixed to the underside of the joists. The void on top of insulation and under floor boards is filled level to top of joists with sand cement biscuit mix.
1.9 Can I have Wet Underfloor Heating in my conservatory or extension?
Conservatories are an ideal situation for an underfloor heating system since the nature of construction usually leaves very little wall space to install a radiator. Likewise, most conservatories have large glass windows that, even when double glazed, can lead to very cold rooms. Underfloor heating warms the conservatory gradually from beneath making them useable rooms all year round.
1.10 What guarantee do I get, with your Wet Underfloor Heating system?
Underfloor heating1 pipe is manufactured to the highest standard and complies with European standards and comes with a 50 years manufactures defect guarantee. All the other electrical and mechanical components come with the manufacturers standard 2 and 1 year guarantees.
1.11 How much will a Wet Underfloor Heating system cost?
Due to the fact that each project is unique we do not offer a set m² price. Instead we will provide you with a full quotation free of charge for your requirements.
1.12 Can a Wet Underfloor Heating system be fitted in any floor construction?
The underfloor heating1 system and DIY kits are designed to be fitted into a solid floor. Underfloor heating 1 can customise the kits for most floors but the type. If you have a query and cannot find the answer on this site please email us on the link below.
1.13 Can I fit carpets on top of the Wet Underfloor Heating system?
Yes, you can have carpets. Underfloor heating1 recommends you check with the retailer or manufacture as to suitability for use with underfloor heating. Tog value should not exceed 1.5. Check with the retailer or manufacture.
1.14 Will the Wet Underfloor Heating system damage my floor or carpets?
The low surface temperature that an underfloor heating system generates should never reach a
temperature that could cause damage to your floor surfaces.
1.15 Can I fit laminate floor on top of the Wet Underfloor Heating?
Yes, you can have laminate and wood floors. Underfloor Heating1 recommends you check with the
retailer or manufacture as to suitability for use with underfloor heating. Tog value should not exceed 1.0. Check with the retailer or manufacture.
