Considering installing underfloor heating in your home? Go for it! Underfloor heating is very efficient and can be installed almost anywhere. Now, all you have to do is choose between a dry or wet system. The names of these two systems relate to the installation; a dry system involves installing the pipes in pre-formed insulation plates while the pipes in a wet system are installed in a cement floor. With a dry system you enjoy all sorts of other advantages. We have set out the main benefits of a dry system below.
The insulation plates for a dry system are covered with aluminium foil and work like heat conductors. The heat-up time for this system is shorter than that of a wet system. In addition, the metal components of a dry system ensure rapid heat output and distribution.
A dry system takes up no more than 6 centimetres in height. This is a huge advantage for renovation projects with a low construction height, new-build homes with a wooden frame and/or wooden flooring.
A dry system can be combined with various floor types: from tiles to natural stone and even parquet! For lower outputs, you can install the floor covering directly onto the Vasco plates, without a cement floor.
The exceptional heat conducting capacity of a dry system makes low temperature heating an ideal option. You thus save on your energy bill, while your house stays nice and warm.
A dry system can be combined easily with a heat pump or a condensing boiler; very environmentally-friendly options.
When you use a heat pump, you can also fill the pipes for the dry system with cold water. This gradually cools the floor and offers a refreshing climate during the hot summer months.
