About Under Floor
Heating:
|

|
Under
floor heating (hypocaust) was a system first used
by the Romans around 60 A.D. Almost 2000
years later people around the world are still discovering
that this type of heating has more advantages than
they thought possible.

Everone
knows - Hot
air rises!
UFH
provides more comfortable even heat with no draughts
of hot air to stir up dirt and dust. The absence of
unsightly radiators makes furniture placement easier
and creates a safer environment with no dangerous 'hot
to touch' surfaces.
Feeling
warm all over begins with the feet, a winter car
journey proves that!
When
your feet are warm, you feel warmer all over. With UFH the
heat literally comes through the flooring material,
(no vents or holes are used) the air temperature is
always highest at floor level and decreases steadily
toward the ceiling. The difference is amazing!
The
moisture content of the room is also more stable and beneficial
to health. Unlike hot air, radiant heat is less likely
to dry out your breathing passages, skin, and your
furniture, fittings etc.

|
Because
the air is dryer and has no rapid movement, it also feels several
degrees warmer than it really is.
As
a result
you are able to set your room stat
lower without any noticable difference
in comfort, saving you
energy and money.
