Underfloor heating is nothing new, its origins date back to ancient Rome, but their technology has come an extremely long way from its distant roots. Technology has gone through many changes and countless improvements over the centuries. And today, to create a "warm floor" we are most familiar with electric heating mats , which give off heat to cool floors, say, in a bathroom room or nursery.
In fact, underfloor heating has much more to offer than just heating the floor in a separate room. This technology provides a viable alternative to traditional heating and can heat an entire home in a surprisingly convenient and energy efficient way. Already popular in western Europe and Asia, underfloor heating remains relatively rare here. But more and more people are choosing technology as the only heating method for new homes or as a supplement to hot water heating.
However, many believe that underfloor heating is a luxury, that is, designed for high-quality bathrooms or a line along an elite pool, and a less viable means of heating the entire home. Of course, some underfloor heating products are designed solely for additional heating. But there are other systems that are not only equal in performance to traditional heating systems, but actually surpass them in important ways.
Minimal heat loss between the heat source and the heated room is ensured. Operation of the underfloor heating system is silent and fast. Heating mats transfer heat efficiently and with minimal energy to quickly reach the set temperature. They react almost instantly to thermostat adjustments. Heating mats, heating cables or infrared foils are used for various floors and coverings, which are effectively controlled by thermostats that allow you to set specific parameters.
