Wet Underfloor Heating System

How It Works

Wet underfloor heating uses a network of pipes installed beneath your floor. Hot water from your boiler or heat pump circulates through these pipes, gently warming the floor surface. The heat then radiates upwards, warming the entire room efficiently and evenly.

System Components:

Insulation boards (to direct heat upwards)
Pipe loops (typically 16mm diameter)
Manifold (controls water flow to each zone)
Programmable thermostat per zone
Circulation pump (if not built into boiler)
Mixing valve (reduces water temperature)

Best Applications:

Whole house heating
New build properties
Home extensions
Large open-plan areas
Replacing radiators completely
Heat pump installations

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does underfloor heating take to install? ▼

Electric systems can typically be installed in 1-2 days for a standard bathroom or kitchen. Wet systems take longer (3-5 days) due to floor build-up and screed drying time. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your survey.

Will underfloor heating increase my floor height? ▼

Electric systems add minimal height (3-5mm plus floor finish). Wet systems add more (50-80mm including insulation and screed), which needs to be considered during planning. We can design solutions to minimize floor height increase.

What are the running costs compared to radiators? ▼

Wet underfloor heating typically costs 15-25% less to run than radiators due to lower operating temperatures. Electric systems cost more to run than wet systems but are cheaper to install. We can provide running cost estimates based on your specific installation.

Can underfloor heating be fitted in my existing home? ▼

Yes! Electric underfloor heating is ideal for retrofits with minimal disruption. Wet systems are better suited for renovations or extensions where floors are being replaced anyway. We'll survey your property and recommend the best solution for your situation.

How warm will my floor get? ▼

Floor surface temperatures typically reach 25-28°C, which feels comfortably warm underfoot without being uncomfortably hot. The system is designed to heat the room to your desired air temperature (usually 18-21°C) rather than to heat the floor to the maximum possible temperature.

What happens if the heating system fails? ▼

Electric systems come with manufacturer warranties (typically 10-25 years) and are very reliable. If a fault occurs, we can locate and repair the issue. Wet systems are equally reliable and any leaks can be detected and repaired. We provide comprehensive aftersales support and maintenance.
