There are many benefits to installing an under tile heating system. Uynder tile floor heating is a fantastic way to heat your floors in a way without it being visible or using up valuable wall space as a radiator might. Under tile heating is installed on top of the sub-floor, underneath the finished flooring, whether it’s wood or a tiled floor.

Under floor heating can be installed as either your main source of heating for a room or as a secondary heating source to keep floors warm. As the heat rises you'll be getting the most from the under floor heating system without all the heat rising to the ceiling before warming the room as it does from most traditional heating systems that rely on convection. An under floor radiant floor heat system is efficient and there is no sound from expanding pipes and heating units.

Because our feet are a natural thermostat for the body and are nice and warm it's more than likely that the rest of the body is warm too as the heat radiates from the floor upward.

Traditional heating methods such as with radiators and baseboard heating systems, the heat is above head level which often creates a stuffy sensation rather than heating the body. Under floor heating systems offer a way to heat a room and your body from the ground up.

Under floor heating systems are easy to install. Nearly any plumbing service can install a system that is hardly any more expensive than conventional heating systems. Installing an under floor heating system can be a DIY home improvement project if you are contemplating a renovation of a room. If there is already a forced hot water heating system in the home that includes a radiator or baseboard unit in the room the water source can be routed to an under floor system quite easily. Modern under tile or under floor heating systems are cost effective and many come with a lifetime warranty.

An under floor heating system can be combined with an energy efficient and independent digital thermostat to provide control and flexibility over settings desired temperature for the room. In addition, if you have a forced hot water heating system in your home the under floor system can be just another zone of the system.

In many new homes under floor heating is becoming a standard feature to energy efficiency. I can actually reduce energy bills by up to 30%. This is heavily dependent on variables in the home such as installing insulation below the floors. This ensures that the heat generated from the heating system doesn't radiate down through the subfloor rather than directing it up into the room.

Under tile heating helps remove moisture from the floors making it drier, more hygienic, and inhibits the growth of dust mites and mold that depend on moisture for survival. This can improve conditions for asthma sufferers or people with dust related allergy problems.
