Water-based (Hydronic) Under Floor heating utilizes warm water that gets circulated through a closed piping network, at low pressure under the floor, resulting in even heating throughout the entire structure.
The water gets heated by a heat pump to around 30 to 40deg and then distributed throughout the structure’s floor.
Water-based Under Floor Heating adopted from Europe and America is becoming very popular in South Africa. The advantages of UFH installations are the comfort and aesthetics, with no air blowing on you from a wall hung unit.
