Since the beginning of time we have tried to find ways to keep cold at bay. Over the centuries many methods have been used but it was the Romans who brought us the first form of underfloor heating. They guided the heat from furnaces under the floor, heating the rooms above.

This was then, and still is now, the most efficient way of providing warmth. After all, this type of heating is copying nature. The floor is warmed, which in turn radiates the heat in the room. This what happens to the planet surface in the summer and in warm weather.

The new generation of underfloor heating has been around for 25 years and is becoming more and more popular every year with developers, architects and self-builders.

Forget the old sixties systems of electrical wires set into concrete floors, which were inefficient and fragile. Today, underfloor heating consists of warm water flowing through tough plastic pex piping.

It is very economical; heating costs typically are 10-30% less than an equivalent radiator system.

You have probably been in an underfloor heated building and not even known because it was such a comfortable, unobtrusive method of heating

Modern material technology (durable pex pipe), better standards of insulation, fuel savings and higher demand on living space are making underfloor heating the preferred heating system for many people.

The proven benefits of warm water underfloor heating can now be experienced by everyone, in any type of floor construction. High levels of comfort, freedom in interior design and warm tiled floors are some of the system's compelling features.
