Explore Underfloor Heating: Screeded Floor Systems & Overlay Floor Systems
At Enerus Home Services, we understand the importance of warmth and comfort in your home, especially during colder months. One of the most efficient and luxurious ways to achieve this is through underfloor heating systems. Among the various options available, wet-based systems stand out for their effectiveness and versatility. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the different types of wet-based underfloor heating systems to help you make an informed decision for your home.
1. Screeded Floors
Screeded floors are a popular choice for wet underfloor heating installations due to their durability and compatibility with the system. This method involves laying a thick layer of screed, typically a mixture of sand and cement, over the heating pipes. The screed acts as a thermal mass, absorbing and retaining heat, ensuring efficient distribution throughout the room.
2. Low Profile Overlay Systems
For retrofitting or installations where height is a concern, low profile overlay systems offer an excellent solution. These systems involve laying heating pipes onto existing floor surfaces, such as concrete or timber, and covering them with a thin layer of screed or specialized panels. Despite their minimal height, low profile overlays provide efficient heat output and can be installed without major disruption to your existing flooring.
