In cold regions, heating systems are an integral part of a house. A simple radiator can sufficiently heat your house but, it is not the most efficient or convenient heating system, especially if you’re someone who hates walking on cold floors. If you’re planning to install tiled floors in your house, you might want to consider opting for Under Tile Heating.
As the name suggests, the heating elements are placed underneath the tiles of your floor just above the subfloor. They cover the entire floor so that heat is distributed uniformly throughout the room. It is a luxurious heating system that is becoming popular as more people realize that this type of heating has many benefits. Here are some compelling reasons to choose this form of heating.
More Energy Efficient
One of the main problems with a radiator is that it’s not very energy efficient. Firstly, you need to crank up the temperature to at least seventy degrees Celsius to heat the entire room. This leads to the next problem. The air near the radiator is hotter than in other parts of the room, and so generally, people open up the window above it for air circulation. As a result, certain parts of the room are too cold, and the other parts are too hot.
Lastly, it’s common knowledge that hot air always rises to the top of the room, whereas cold air settles to the floor. Radiators don’t target the area with the maximum amount of cold air but instead only heat the air around it. All of this combined causes a lot of energy wastage which, is not only bad for the environment but also will reflect on your monthly energy bills.
On the other hand, by installing heating elements underneath the tiles, you target the area where cold air accumulates, ensure that the whole room is heated evenly, and don’t have to set the heating system at high temperatures, which saves a lot of energy.
Virtually No Maintenance
Another amazing benefit of Under Tile Heating is that once you install it, you don’t need to worry about maintenance for a long time. Damaging the parts involved is almost impossible as the elements are protected by the tiled floor.
Safer
Radiators have hot surfaces, sharp edges, and circulate dusty air, which can compromise your family’s health and safety. Heating systems under the tiles are comparatively the safer option.
