There’s nothing like the feeling of a warm, heated floor under your feet. It’s great to wake up to and even better to come home to. It’s easy to live with and cosy to lounge on. It’s comfortable, reliable and surprisingly affordable. Which is why more and more people are choosing it – and discovering Snug.
Installing an underfloor heating system in your home, removes the need for traditional radiators and this comes with a whole host of advantages. One of the most prevalent in today’s world is cost. With energy prices on the rise, many people are turning to underfloor heating as a more cost effective heating solution.
The heat from an underfloor heating system is generated across the whole expanse of the floor, unlike radiators which tend to sit to the outer walls of a room. This means that the system doesn’t have to work as hard to heat the entire room as warmth rises throughout the room from the ground up. As a result it can be run at a lower temperature than traditional radiators, generally 45°C for underfloor heating vs 65°C for radiators, therefore saving energy and reducing costs. Plus, it removes the chance of any cold spots in a room, as a more even heat is generated.
This also makes underfloor heating the ideal companion for greener, low carbon renewable heat sources such as air and ground source heat pumps as these typically run at lower temperatures than gas boilers.
If you are looking to create a fresh, contemporary home, work space, retail outlet or hospitality venue, which is warm and inviting with clean lines; underfloor heating is for you.
As mentioned above, installing underfloor heating eliminates the need for bulky and unsightly radiators and therefore the constrained requirement of walls to hang radiators on. This not only enables you to create flowing, open plan spaces, but also gives you increased flexibility when it comes to placing furniture and shaping an environment designed specifically to your needs.
Installing underfloor heating in your home gives you added control and allows you to build bespoke heating schedules designed for needs of your family, in the places you need it, at the times that suit you.
Underfloor heating works off a zoned control system which provides a more accurate room-by-room temperature control. Each zone can be individually programmed and controlled through the use of our range of intuitive Smart thermostats. You can even manage the warmth of multiple properties and each of their rooms with our SnugStat Smart Wi-Fi Thermostats and free app, giving you instant control, from anywhere – the car, the bar or the office.
Did you know that homes with underfloor heating installations can be healthier to live in? Underfloor heating works through radiant heating rather than convection heating, which is generated by radiators. Convection heating creates thermal circulation currents of heat, raising hot air to the ceiling and falling when it cools. This can pick up and redistribute dust and dust mites from the floors and propel them into the atmosphere.
Choosing and installing underfloor heating eradicates this and enables those who suffer with allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions to breath easier.
