" Underfloor heating allows you to keep the whole home at maximum comfort levels while retaining a beautiful décor throughout ."
FLEXIBILITY AND LESS DISRUPTION
Gone are the days where underfloor heating would limit your choice of floor finishes . With a well-designed system you can have any floor finish you desire . When it comes to installation , you no longer need to dig up your floors to bury a slow response system beneath 6 inches of screed and cement . There are hassle free dry-fix systems – such as Wundatherm – that are far quicker to install . They are laid directly on top of the existing or new , wooden , or concrete floor , and are strong enough to support any floor finish you desire . Wundatherm Premium boards are approved for tiling directly onto , without the need for extra supporting layers .
Underfloor heating operates silently and out of site , tamper proof and child friendly , no hot surfaces .
DUST FREE
One of the lesser-known benefits of an underfloor heating system is that it minimizes the movement of dust . Radiators circulate air around a room which moves dust that we then breathe in . This is why a UFH system is recommend for homes with asthma and allergy sufferers .
Quick to install and fit , a Wundatherm underfloor heating system such as Wunda Group ’ s Wundatherm turns your whole floor into a Rapid Response radiator of warmth . A system such as Wunda ’ s is fantastic for larger and older buildings as heat won ’ t travel down to old floorboards thanks to its aluminum and polystyrene boards with close pipe centers .
HEATING , VENTILATION & INSULATION
Underfloor heating can also work harmoniously in conjunction with radiators , meaning you can opt for a UFH system on the ground floor whilst keeping radiators on other floors to reduce installation costs .
QUIET OPERATION
The firing up of the boiler , the rattle of pipes , bleeding radiators and the ongoing noise associated with heating is often amplified in larger , sprawling properties .
