Underfloor heating is becoming increasingly popular in modern homes due to its efficiency and the even distribution of heat it provides. However, homeowners often wonder whether they can pair this heating system with carpet flooring. This article will explore the compatibility of carpets with underfloor heating and highlight our services in underfloor heating installation.

Underfloor Heating:

Even Heat Distribution: Unlike traditional radiators, underfloor heating provides a consistent temperature across the room, eliminating cold spots.

Energy Efficiency: These systems often operate at a lower temperature than standard radiators, potentially reducing energy bills.

Space Saving: Underfloor heating is hidden away under the floor, freeing up wall space that would otherwise be occupied by radiators.

Aesthetic Appeal: With no visible components, underfloor heating preserves the aesthetics of your rooms.

Comfort: The warmth underfoot adds a comfortable and luxurious touch, particularly during colder months.

Carpet can be used with underfloor heating, but there are important considerations to ensure efficiency and safety:

Thermal Conductivity: The carpet and its underlay must have good thermal conductivity. This means they should allow the heat from the underfloor system to pass through easily.

Total Tog Rating: It’s crucial to check the total tog rating of both the carpet and underlay. Ideally, this should not exceed 2.5 togs for effective heat transfer.

Material Considerations: Some carpet materials are better suited for underfloor heating than others. Natural fibres like wool tend to be more insulating than synthetic options.

Installation Expertise: Proper installation is key to ensuring that the carpet does not hinder the performance of the underfloor heating system.
