HYDRONIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING
WHY CHOOSE HYDRONIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING
Hydronic heating systems provide constant heat distribution as they produce radiated and convected heat. It is a very safe way to heat the home with no exposed flames or risk of asthma and allergy triggers due to a reduction in the circulation of airborne dust particles. As well as being eco-friendly and very efficient due to new boiler technology, hydronic underfloor heating is also very quiet and invisible inside the home.
HOW DOES HYDRONIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING WORK
Hydronic underfloor heating systems typically use gas boilers and heat pumps to carry heated water within the pipe and disbursed via a manifold to heating circuits. The floor area is then warmed to an optimum temperature controlled by thermostats with a floor sensor which instruct the system when heat is required. Hydronic underfloor heating is compatible with all types of finished floor, from tiles to polished concrete and also timber floor.
HYDRONIC INSTALLATION PROCESS
The hydronic floor heating pipe is installed on the top of the Reo (depending on the finished floor) before the slab is poured. The pipe is laid around walls, joinery and is pressurised throughout the construction process. Most pipe installs only take one day. The floor area is separated in circuits or zones all connected to a central manifold. The manifold is then connected to the heat source which can be either located indoors or outdoors. As it is a closed system, there is no water consumption and minimal electricity is required which keep running cost down.
