Radiant Heat for Added Value

By: Robert D. Thomson

In the face of the current economic situation, many homeowners are choosing to improve their living conditions by improving rather than moving house. Instead of making cheap and quick updates for a fast sale homeowners are now looking to invest in a quality refurbishment that will add real value to their properties. This is in fact an excellent time to install a luxurious and durable tiled floor. The one drawback of tiled floors is how chilly they can get in winter, a cause for concern for many homeowners. This problem can be easily rectified by laying electric floor heating in conjunction with the tiles. To a tile retailer or tiler, this will be the single most worthwhile recommendation they can make to their customers. Not only does it serve as a solution for the immediate issue at hand, it also offers several other benefits.

Aesthetic advantage: Space is always a premium and any opportunity to minimise clutter is precious. The freedom to rearrange existing furniture, to enhance usage of available space,to be creative without hindrance from obstructive radiators, is a powerful incentive for many homeowners.

Greater heating efficiency: Electric radiant heating provides more than just warmth - it provides a more efficient form of heating. Because the vertical stratification of underfloor heating conformsto the natural inclinations of the human body towards warm feet and cool head, it makes for more comfortable warmth than conventional radiators.

Hassle-free specification and installation: One of the best aspects of radiant floor heating must be its installation, and in turn specification simplicity. It works with both wooden and concrete floorbases and is thus suitable for period homes and new homes. Plus it does not raise floor height - a crucial consideration in many updating projects.

Peace of mind: Once fitted, neither retailer, installer nor homeowner need to worry about future servicing since there are no pipes to bleed or clean. Should any problems arise the plethora of warranties, including popular lifetime guarantees available, provide a security blanket.
