Wet underfloor heating is simply pipes laid underneath the surface of the floor, through which warm central heating water is pumped. This warm water heats the floor which in turn keeps your room at the desired temperature.
We have installed wet underfloor heating in every space imaginable, from new build homes to car garages to commercial warehousing. There are not really any limitations to where underfloor heating can be installed as it can run along side any heating technology and you can even have radiators and underfloor in the same property. Here at Gondwana Green Heat we can also heat walls with underfloor heating, there are usually cast into concrete walls or fitted into stud work.
Well the floor is the floor, this can be cast concrete or timber chipboard and will not look different from a conventional concrete or chipboard floor. The nest section will show potential floor build ups for most situations.
