Underfloor Heating Cape Town

Underfloor heating has become one of the most popular ways of heating a home. Not only does it feel luxurious, delivering warm floors underfoot, but it’s also one of the most effective ways of space heating.

There are not many heating solutions that efficiently heat a room from the ground up. Most products only heat the air, increasing the likelihood of heat loss and causing energy bills to be higher than necessary. Thanks to the science of radiant heat, floor heating warms people and objects – not the air. This makes underfloor heating a much more efficient heating option and a safe bet for a gentle, lasting and uniform heat distribution across your entire floor surface. Floor heating systems are virtually silent and won’t dry the air or circulate unwanted dust/allergens like forced air, portable or fan heaters.

Hydronic underfloor heating (or water underfloor heating), warms your floor using warm water, which is circulated through your floors in pipes which are buried in the slab of the building. Although the systems are fairly complex to install, they provide extremely low running costs and minimal energy usage. Hydronic underfloor heating uses the high proportion of radiant heat transfer being the most efficient of all residential heating systems.

The initial cost of a hydronic underfloor heating system is higher, but uses up to 70% less energy compared to electrical systems – ensuring that the system pays for itself with energy savings over time.

Hydronic underfloor heating is a great option for large, open entertaining areas and works well under cold floor coverings such as marble, stone, slate, polished concrete and all varieties of tiles. It’s also fabulous under carpet and timber floors.
