Gaia’s underfloor heating
can benefit everyone
When specifying heating in
domestic properties, underfloor
heating (UFH) is increasingly
seen as the system that offers
the levels of energy efficiency
and comfort required. In design
terms, UFH provides the added
benefit that, unlike radiators,
it does not have an impact on
interior aesthetics and layouts.

45-50ºC through loops of pipe
laid into the screed of solid
floors or the joists of suspended
timber floors.
This leaves just one perplexing
issue; whether to opt for a wet
(hydronic) system or an electric
system. The low temperature of the
water used makes these systems
energy efficient and ideally
suited to use with air or ground
source heat pumps or district
heating systems. Electric
systems use a continuous cable,
either laid within the screed or
supplied as a mat which is laid
above the subfloor.
Both offer advantages and
disadvantages. Wet UFH systems
circulate water heated to around For further information, please
