Underfloor Heating eliminates the need for radiators, alleviating cold spots and clearing precious wall space. Water underfloor heating systems also have superior fuel efficiency in comparison to radiator systems due to their large surface area.
While radiator systems require water to be heated to approximately 75°C, water within underfloor heating systems is in the region of just 40°C. This makes water underfloor heating around 25% more efficient than radiator systems, and up to 40% more efficient when paired with an Air Source Heat Pump.

Water Underfloor Heating FAQ's
The concept of water underfloor heating has been around for over 2000 years but its only recently that the use of modern pipes with modern insulation that underfloor heating has become widely available to the homeowner, with the added invention of various installation methods it has helped adapt most dwellings to this form of heating.
The use of water underfloor heating will help provide a more evenly spread form of ambient heating whilst also saving costs on your ever-increasing fuel bills. It achieves this by mimicking a radiator under your floor but with a lower running temperature whilst providing an even level of heating throughout a room.
Underfloor heating provides many advantages over a conventional radiator system:
By running at a lower water temperature, it allows for cheaper running costs.
Saves on available floor space by allowing for furniture to be positioned in areas usually obstructed by radiators.
Underfloor heating works by gradually heating the floor and providing a constant even heat throughout the room whereas radiators primarily heat around the fixed unit location and then throwing heat into the ceiling void which can produce dust allergies from air circulation which harms people with allergies.
Yes, Fastwarm provide 16mm pipe diameter single loop kits with a coverage up to 24m2 which can be attached to an existing radiator system via a single circuit pump & mixing valve unit.
To comply with the Part L of the new building regulations you must install controls that allow the switching off the underfloor heating when it is not required.
Yes, this is possible, by installing a zone valve for each floor this will enable either both systems to work together or to run independently.
A water tank is not required in most underfloor heating systems. Boilers or heat pumps are used to heat the water in underfloor heating systems.
While a water tank isn't specifically needed for a water underfloor heating system, if you use a boiler, you will need a water tank as part of the boiler system.
Installing water underfloor heating can be a complex task; however, if you're competent at DIY, a plumber is not always required.
If your underfloor heating system is being connected to a boiler, a certified Gas Safe engineer will be required to make the final connection.
