It is now certain that underfloor heating is here to stay, previous attempts at using the floor to heat badly insulated buildings have been well documented and thankfully we can now draw a line under those problems and move forward.
A modern well-insulated building, either domestic or commercial will readily accept a floor heating system and provide excellent comfort levels for the occupants. The simplicity of the system, and the fact that it is essentially the same equipment providing the same excellent results in either a conservatory or an aircraft hangar is an enormous advantage over convective methods of heating.
The basis of any well-designed heating system is to provide a comfortable environment for the occupants, so it is worth thinking more along the lines of heating the occupants - not the building.
Providing a comfort zone from the floor up to approximately 2.5 metres is an economical and sensible way to approach this, and is easily achieved by utilising the floor structure as the heat source.
The Begetube underfloor heating system is suitable for a wide range of applications. However, the operation of floor heating is not suitable for buildings that are used intermittently or infrequently.
Domestic housing, offices, schools, nursing homes and hospitals are but a few examples that would greatly benefit from underfloor heating. In fact virtually everything from a conservatory to an aircraft hangar has benefited from floorheating.
Floor heating is very effective when used in areas with high ceilings, the heat profile generated from a warmed floor provides a comfort level for the occupants without having to waste energy heating the total volume of the area.
