Which is better: Water-based (Wet) or Electric underfloor heating?
Wet systems are more cost-effective for large areas and whole-house heating, while Electric systems are easier and cheaper to install in single rooms like bathrooms during a renovation.
Can I install underfloor heating under carpet or wood?
Yes. While tile and stone are the best conductors, modern UFH systems are perfectly compatible with engineered wood, laminate, and specific "low-tog" carpets designed for heating.
Does underfloor heating take a long time to warm up?
Wet systems have a slightly longer "warm-up" time than radiators, but they retain heat much longer and provide a more stable, comfortable temperature throughout the day.
