West Sussex offers three types of underfloor heating installation. All our systems are water based and suit a variety of different purposes.
The Rapid Response is a technically an over-floor heating system. However the heating is generated at ground level so it does fall into the underfloor heating category. This type of underfloor installation is straightforward for a professional and with no digging required, requires only the services of a plumber for the pipe work and an electrician to install the electrical system. West Sussex Heating can carry out the full installation within a couple of days, depending on the size of your home.
Rapid Response is so called because it is fantastically responsive and controllable. It heats up and cools down in minutes so is ideal for maintaining each room in your home at the optimum temperature.
This type of floor heating features sealed integrated board panels through which water pipes are installed and these fit neatly underneath your top layer of floor covering, without any need for digging up your floors. The water pipes are 100% leak proof and the whole system is controllable via a central thermostat which also enables you to vary the temperature in each room if wished. You can also control the system from an app.
The Rapid Response heating system is a great option for anyone, especially those looking for affordable comfort combined with a hassle free heating solution. Rapid Response can be installed in all types of property including flats and apartments and is also perfect for older properties where digging under floor may be problematic and disruptive for homeowners.
Screen underfloor heating is ideal for new builds, renovations or extensions and is the original underfloor heating system first designed by Wanda. This is the perfect solution if you like ambient heat and is the most energy efficient form of underfloor heating on the market.
With Screed underfloor heating installation, the pipes are fixed on top of the insulation and then the screed, a type of thin concrete, is poured over encasing the pipes and creating a new floor. Once the screed has dried, the heating system can be used.
Screed underfloor heating is extremely economical. Because the thermal mass of the screed holds heat, it means that you do not need to set the thermostat as high as with other forms of central heating thus saving energy and money as well.
Screed underfloor heating is a great option for new builds and renovations and if you care about making your home as energy efficient as possible, it is a good choice. This type of heating does take longer to increase to temperature than the Rapid Response system but as the ambient temperature is constant, this should not cause too much discomfort.
Screed underfloor heating is a great choice for larger properties as it will keep your heating costs down without compromising your comfort. It is also suitable for new builds and renovations of all types.
Screed underfloor heating installation does take longer than fitting the rapid response system and timings will largely depend upon the size of your building. To find out more contact West Sussex Heating for an obligation free quote.
Joisted underfloor heating, is a system of hot water pipes that fits under the floor boards and between the joists. The water pipes are fitted onto aluminium spreader plates or aluminium coated EPS boards and these sit between the joists and the floor boards creating all round warmth for your home.
This is an extremely energy efficient system as it enables you to set the heating at a low temperature yet your home will feel warm and comfortable even in the middle of winter.
Joist underfloor heating is perfect for new builds, renovations and extensions. It will also suit homes that already have joist flooring in place. This system is unobtrusive as it works around the floor construction of your home, but it is not suitable for all types of building.
