If you’re considering installing underfloor heating in your home, there are a few things you need to know about managing heat losses to below grade. Heat loss from an underfloor heating system can be a significant factor in the efficiency of your system, and if not managed correctly, can become a huge expense. But don’t worry – Euroheat Australia is here to help! With 30 years’ experience designing and constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems, Euroheat Australia is the go-to company for all your underfloor heating needs.
Underfloor heating systems can be divided into two types – wet and dry. Wet systems involve running hot water through tubes beneath the floor, while dry systems use electric cables or mats that heat up when electricity passes through them. Whichever system you choose, heat loss is an important factor to consider.
Heat loss occurs when heated air or water escapes from the tubing or mats beneath your floor into the ground below – and this lost heat is wasted energy which costs you money! So it’s important to manage this heat loss with high levels of insulation and a well-designed system that reduces air leakage around pipes and fittings.
Using insulation materials such as polystyrene foam boards, high-density foam panels or even thick carpets can help reduce heat losses by providing an airtight seal between the piping or mats and the ground below. This reduces air leakage around pipes and helps keep warm air from escaping into the ground.
You’ll also need to consider how much insulation will be needed for each area of your home – this depends on how much warmth you want to keep in each room and how much cold air you want to keep out. For example, if you’re installing underfloor heating in a bedroom, you’ll need more insulation than if it’s in a hallway or other area where people won’t be spending long periods of time indoors. It’s also important to remember that different materials have different R-values (which measure their ability to resist heat flow) so make sure that you select the right type of insulation for each area of your home.
