Winters are times for hot coffee and warm beds. Waking up to a cold room and cold feet is definitely not anyone’s wake up wish. The luxury to walk around the house on a cold winter morning without feeling the chilly floor can be a reality. No rocket science physics involved, underfloor heating is the answer to cold floors.
What is Underfloor Heating?
A commonly used and effective way to control the indoor climate of a house or building, this is a form of indoor heating that relies on principles of heat conduction and radiation for transmitting heat across the floor. First to ring in this technology were the Romans, mostly the royalty, and their system used hot air or steam to flow through ducts all across a floor built on raised bricks. Floor heating was practiced in the Mediterranean and Korean regions too, though the techniques were much primitive then.
Forms of Modern Underfloor Heating:-
Floor heating systems of today are broadly of two types- those based on hot water and those that use electricity for generating heat.
• Hot Water System- A system of pipes or tubes laid all across under a floor conducts warm water through them. There are various ways to generate the hot water. Gas, water boilers, solar heat are some technologies employed for the same. Though there are concerns over surface temperature maintenance to avoid dew when installing hot water heating systems, in the long run, these prove to be quite economical choices.
• Electric Underfloor Heating- these are popular choices owing to their fast installation that also involve low costs. These are very commonly installed in bathrooms to keep the tiles warm, kitchens and other areas like children’s playroom. Every room can have its own thermostat control and programming. Having electric heating systems in the house, therefore, keeps the energy costs under control.
Advantages of Floor Heating Systems:-
• Comfort- The regular heating systems based on convection of hot air throw forced air, and heat travels up towards the ceiling. This does not serve the main purpose of warming the floor. Both warm water and electric heating systems work to warm the floor and lower parts of the body. Heating is more gentle and soothing.
• Practicality- Also, these systems are fixed beneath the flooring. The aesthetics of the room are not disturbed with electrical wirings and equipment strewn around the walls and floor.
• Energy efficiency- Compared to forced-air heating systems, both hot water and electrical underfloor heating systems work well on lower temperatures. Only the floor needs to be warmed, and there is little diffusion of heat to other areas of the room. This cuts the cost of electricity dramatically.
Floors of areas like the bathroom and kitchen turn extremely cold during winters. The most basic of daily chores are carried out here, and it is important to make the use of these rooms comfortable. Installing heating systems is the most practical thing to do.
