If you’re looking to add a concrete floor to your home, it’s important to consider the effects of shrinkage and expansion. As concrete dries, it shrinks, and when exposed to moisture, it expands. This can cause long-term damage if the floor isn’t properly designed for these effects.
The best way to ensure your concrete floor is safe from shrinkage and expansion is by installing an underfloor heating system. Underfloor heating systems are designed to evenly distribute heat throughout the floor. This ensures that the moisture in the concrete is evenly distributed, eliminating any possibility of shrinkage or expansion. It also keeps your room temperature consistent, making it much more comfortable in winter months.
Underfloor heating systems are more efficient than traditional central heating systems because they heat up quickly and don’t require additional ventilation or ductwork. This makes them ideal for smaller spaces such as bathrooms and kitchens where traditional central heating systems may not fit or work as effectively. Underfloor heating also has the added benefit of helping reduce energy costs by up to 15%.
When you’re installing an underfloor heating system, it’s important that you choose one that is specifically designed for concrete floors.
