the following…
Under floor heating can be used with virtually all flooring materials, and is easy to install, but here are a few technical pointers to help make the process even easier. Read full article about technical tips for installing under floor heating.
Dramatic energy savings can be made by using underfloor heating with an alternative energy source such as geothermal heat. Geothermal heat pumps are able to provide up to 75% of the energy needed to run an underfloor heating system. 
Increasingly heat pumps are being considered as boilers; anything new can be daunting which may explain limited take-up, but the technology is well proven and works well with underfloor heating. So what opportunity does this offer for heat installers?
The launch of new products by Continental Underfloor Heating will help to save time and money on underfloor heating installations. 
Continental Underfloor Heating has supplied a wet underfloor heating (UFH) system for installation with a geothermal heat pump in a new home in Launceston, Cornwall. The self-builder made the decision to fit the Continental system with geothermal to make energy saving efficiencies in the home. 
Already popular across Europe, under floor heating (UFH) is increasingly becoming the heating system of choice for self-builders in the UK. Driven by its appearance on numerous home-improvement television programmes, UFH is a desirable, fashionable heating option. More than just a way of heating a house, it has become a consumer lifestyle choice. 
As more consumers enjoy the benefits of Underfloor Heating (UFH), builders are finding they need to provide customers with smart, up-to-date advice on a variety of systems. Bill McConnel, Technical Director of Continental Underfloor Heating provides an insight into the differences between electric and warm water (wet) systems, and considers how to choose the most appropriate solution for installation in renovation, refurbishment or extension projects. 
On 13th September 2005, the approved drafts for Building Regulations, Part L, Conservation of Fuel and Power and Part F, Ventilation were published. The changes are due to come into effect on 6th April 2006 and correspond with the Government’s target of reducing UK carbon dioxide emissions by 20% in 2010. Bill McConnell, Technical Director of Continental Underfloor Heating considers how the installation of underfloor heating complies with the new regulations and helps to reduce carbon emissions. 
The modern age in which we live means we are spoilt for choice of floor coverings and using them with underfloor heating (UFH) is a popular and cost effective option. Whilst different floor coverings have different requirements, specification of under floor heating does not need to be complicated or technical and a good UFH supplier will give you sound advice on what is required.
