Underfloor Heating in London, Overlay

Most underfloor heating systems are either warm water (wet) systems or electric (dry) systems. Underfloor heating can be laid on solid floors, floating floors, suspended floors, and an overlay can be laid on existing floors. If you install a wet system, the pipes are usually laid and then buried in a screed or run underneath the floor covering. The wet system operates by heat being transferred from the water which is circulated through the pipes under the floor surface. This results in the whole floor surface being kept at the same temperature. Most systems use water between 45 & 65c, warming the floor to a comfortable 25-28c. The dry system uses Electrotherm Electric Mats in which a heating element will heat the floor surface.
