What wet underfloor heating system is recommended

last year

Hello,

My builder is recommending Heatmiser for my underfloor heating, I was reading the reviews on Trustpoilot and the aftercare and thermostat reviews were not great. Is there a system that people prefer and how do you choose between them, there are so many and I don't really understand how it all works and what I should be looking for. Can anyone help?

Not exactly an answer to your Q but ... My builder got in a heating engineer he regularly works with. Heating engineer does the annual service for the boiler and tank and looks after the whole system, wet uf downstairs, rads upstairs i.e. same (recommended) person for install and aftercare. Afraid I've no clue about the system, as I was very happy with the engineer's rationale so ignored the brands. But thought I'd mention tradesperson focused approach as you've not had a direct answer yet.

Any heat reflective paint will do really. You should visit a nearby builders merchant. They generally have offers going on various products and could advise you better. If you are based in London and require any further assistance one of team members would be happy to visit you on site and assist you in any way possible.

Depends whether you want efficient or always warm underfoot? Efficiency of UFH affected by insulation. How airtight is the house? Do you have mechanical ventilation etc?

Regardless of what finish you choose, the thing with wet UFH is that it relies on heat building up in and being stored in the floor slab. You don’t really ever turn it off in the winter, you just set the room thermostats for different temperatures at different times of the day. In the summer you just set the thermostat to frost setting so it never kicks in. We have tiles and I like having a cool floor in the summer heat, as do my dogs. In autumn and spring other finishes may feel more cosy as sometimes the tiled floor doesn’t feel obviously warm when the air is up to temp, tho it’s not properly cold either.
