Build Ufh

Build heating self under floor (UFH), apart from the cost factor, has many benefits including aesthetics. There are no radiators taking up wall space. This allows greater freedom to decorate and furnish the rooms as you please.

Each room has a separate circuit and its own thermostat, linked to a motorized valve. Add-ons include a weather compensating system that monitors the outside temperature and maintains the system at your preferred temperature all the time.

You can use any kind of fuel to warm the water that circulates through the heating pipe. The most popular choices are oil, gas and solid fuel in the form of a conventional boiler. The best choice is a condensing boiler because these are at their most efficient while working at the lower temperatures required by the under floor heating.

In fact, under floor heating systems are perhaps less expensive than a comparable radiator system contrary to popular perception. It will perhaps cost you about as much as a good quality carpet.

UFH can also be up to 25% cheaper to operate than a traditional radiator system when used with a high efficiency-condensing boiler.
Alternative power sources can be used as the system operates on low temperatures (typically between 35C and 50C) it is ideal for connecting to alternative heat sources such as solar panels, a heat recovery system, or a heat pump. These systems can be used in any combination to supplement the output from your boiler and save you even more of your fuel costs.
