Types of Underfloor Heating Systems
Types of Heating Systems
The two basic types of heating systems are electric underfloor heatingsystems and water underfloor heating systems. The type of heating system you choose will depend upon whether it is a new under construction build or installation to your already existing home.
A. Water based heating: uses warm water from a centrally located heating system. Water is pumped through pipes that are laid beneath the floor.
B. Electric heating: uses cables linked to a thermostat and main power supply unit. The cables are fixed to self adhesive mesh mats which are spread out and glued to the floor.
