Benefits of Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is where heating cables are applied within floor structures or beneath flooring systems to provide both primary and comfort heating. Here at Cross Electrical we have a wonderful range of unique, quality underfloor heating solutions for homeowners and the contracting industry alike. Installed in hours without the need for specialist tools or skills, our special underfloor heating products are low profile and won't raise floor levels.

But why would you install underfloor heating in your home? Here’s just a few reasons...

Space Saver -

Under floor heating allows you the freedom to design your room layout without having compromise around conventional heat sources. It can be irritating working your furniture and around heat sources like radiators. Underfloor heating gives you the flexibility to put your furniture where it best suits your lifestyle needs and room shape.

Minimum Maintenance –

There is little that can go wrong or that needs to be maintained in an underfloor heating system.  If correctly installed and tested, any potential leaks or problems can be identified at an early stage and dealt with before the laying of the floor. Thus there are no regular maintenance costs to incur which can sometimes be the case with traditional convection heating.

Fabulously Flexible -

Unlike traditional convection heating systems, controlled by a single thermostat, an underfloor heating system provides the flexibility to control individual room temperatures via thermostats. This means you can control the temperature of every area of your home instead of wasting energy and money heating areas of the property which are used less.

Crazy Comfortable -

One of the worst things about getting out of bed can be stepping out onto a cold laminate or stone flooring! Whether it’s in your bedroom, kitchen or bathroom, cold floors on warm feet can be really horrible! Thus, one of the key advantages to underfloor heating is that it banishes this problem, heating the whole floor area of your home. Furthermore, compared to conventional radiators, an underfloor heating system generates more radiant heat as opposed to convective heat, leaving you with a generally cosier environment.

Super Safe

Installing and using a floor heating system means there are no radiators, and so there is no longer a risk to small children and other vulnerable groups to get burnt.

Health improvements

Floor heating is good for asthma sufferers and people with allergies as it produces a lot less airborne dust than radiators.
