Underfloor Heating (UFH)

A heating system that distributes heat evenly through the floor surface rather than via wall-mounted radiators. Wet UFH uses warm water circulating through plastic pipes embedded in or clipped below the screed; electric UFH uses resistance heating cables or mats. UFH works best with low-temperature output - ideal for heat pumps and modern condensing boilers. Extensions are ideal retrofit candidates for UFH.
