Boiler Installations

Precision and experience are essential when installing a new boiler. Choosing the appropriate boiler type and size for your property, making sure the piping and venting are in place, and putting in place effective controls are all part of boiler installation.

Boiler malfunctions can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, particularly in the winter. When boiler repairs are needed, a qualified heating engineer should be your first choice. They can identify the problem fast, whether it's a broken part or a reduction in efficiency, and fix your boiler as soon as it needs to be fixed.

Benefits of using our underfloor heating services in Worthing

Efficiency: Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home, as it doesn’t require as much energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Comfort: Underfloor heating provides a gentle, evenly distributed heat that is comfortable to walk on. This is in contrast to traditional radiators, which can create hot spots and drafts.

Space-saving: Underfloor heating doesn’t take up any valuable floor space as radiators do. This is especially beneficial in small homes or rooms with limited space.

Air quality: By circulating warm air around the room, underfloor heating can help to improve air quality and reduce dust and allergens in the air.

Which Flooring Is Best for Underfloor Heating Worthing?

Although the best type of flooring to install an underfloor heating system is stone and tile, there are several others you can choose from. 

Here are a few pointers to remember when selecting flooring for underfloor heating:

Floor Thickness: The more thick the floor is, the better it will go with the underfloor heating system. We recommend an average thickness of 12mm or above for all flooring types.

Heat Transfer Extent: Flooring material is one of the major factors affecting its potential for heat conduction. Choose dense and compact flooring, as it will transfer maximum heat. 

Floor Level: Choose a thin flooring material if the underfloor heating system is fitted below the floor level. On the other hand, go with thick flooring if the system is fitted above the floor level. 

Stone & Tile Flooring

As stone and tile floors are incredibly conductive, they are ideal floorings for underfloor heating. High conductivity means they can immediately catch heat from underfloor heating pipes and warm the floor surface faster. 

If you are targeting tile or stone flooring, ensure the maximum thickness is about 20 mm to enjoy the highest efficiency of the system. 

Engineered Wood Flooring

As engineered wood responds well to changing floor temperatures, it is one of the ideal wood floorings for underfloor heating systems. It's not only a natural heat conductor but also provides an aesthetic appeal to the room. 

With an engineered wooden floor, ensure the temperature does not exceed 26 degrees Celsius.

Vinyl & Laminate Flooring

One of the affordable flooring to go with is vinyl or laminate. These flooring types need simple maintenance and are excellent conductors of heat. Hence, consider one of these when installing an underfloor heating system. 

Note: Vinyl flooring has a temperature limitation of 27 degrees Celsius. As it warms up and cools down faster, it's not recommended for rooms that can lose heat quickly, such as a conservatory.

Carpet Flooring

Although carpet flooring takes a lot of time to warm, it can maintain heat efficiently. You can get professional advice from a certified heating engineer on whether to use thin carpet (under 2.5 togs) flooring for an underfloor heating system. 

Types of Underfloor heating provided by Shoreline PHG

In contrast to forced-air heating, which just warms the air in a room, radiant heating that is used in underfloor systems warms both people and things. Radiant heat feels more natural and uniformly dispersed. 

Underfloor heating has two basic types:

Hydronic systems circulate hot water through pipes to heated flooring, while electric systems use electrical cables or mats to generate heat. They are generally more expensive to install than electric ones, but they are also more energy-efficient. 

Electric underfloor heating is easier to install than hydronic, however, so it may be a better option for people working with a limited budget.

Wood, tile, laminate, and carpet are just a few of the several types of flooring that may be utilised with hydronic and electric underfloor heating systems.
