Why underfloor heating is not just for modern home owners

There is an irony in the belief that underfloor heating is only suitable for the modern or new build home. We assume that as a ‘new’ technology, retro-fitting the system to an existing property or an older property will lead to inefficiency.

And yet underfloor heating is one of the oldest heating systems around. To match this, modern versions of underfloor heating systems are streamlined so that they can be added to existing properties without too much renovation work or hassle.

Underfloor Heating and New Homes – The Preferred Choice?

The drive for maximum energy efficiency in properties has led to exciting new innovations in insulation technologies and in heating systems too.

Home improvements wish list

In a dream world I would win the lottery and be in the fortunate position to buy or build our dream home. Unfortunately we have yet to hit the jackpot and win big.

For the foreseeable future we will remain living where we are. Whilst we love our current home and it has many bonuses there are a few home improvements that I would love to do to make our home better than it is.

What do you think of underfloor heating?

I often find myself thinking about how I would design and create my dream home, whether that be by being fortunate to start from scratch and have everything built just so or by revamping a house to fit my dreams. As I’ve mentioned before one of my must-haves for my dream home is underfloor heating.

My love of underfloor heating was sparked when I stayed at a luxurious 5* apartment a few years ago whilst on holiday where they boasted underfloor heating throughout. The toasty feeling of warmth underfoot swept me off my feet and I vowed that one day I would have a home with underfloor heating.
