Real life
'It's perfect for
when our girl is
running around'
Two parents from Lincolnshire
are delighted with the underfloor
heating in their new-build home
'Installing underfloor heating in
our property is the best thing we
could have done,' say Caroline and
Stephen Dowman.
'Luckily, we built our entire home
from scratch, so we were able to
plan where the pipes would go
before the floors were laid - upstairs
and down - which means there are
no cold spots at all.
'Best of all, the flagstone floors
are always warm, which is great
for when our daughter is running
around barefoot.'
BONUS BENEFITS
Control systems allow each room
on every storey of a house to
have a separate set of pipes and
thermostatic controls, allowing you
to individually set the temperature
of different rooms.
By its very nature underfloor
heating is hidden, so frees up wall
space - meaning no more bulky
radiators to worry about.
Underfloor heating tends to
create less moisture than traditional
heating, reducing the number of
house dust mites - which is good
news for those with allergies.
