Decarbonising Shropshire New Builds With Underfloor Heating

By 2050, the UK aims to reach carbon net-zero, meaning new carbon emissions are equal or less than carbon emissions removed from the environment per year. Innovators in construction have a responsibility to help the UK reach these targets.

EasyFlow have been working hand in hand with construction homes to provide heat pumps and underfloor heating in Shropshire new builds for almost a decade. Read on, and see how we can help you reduce carbon emissions with your housing developments.

Underfloor Heating is More Energy Efficient than Radiators

Underfloor heating has many benefits over traditional central heating, and it’s time all new builds made the switch over. Furthermore, it’s similarly priced to the cost of installing a radiator system from scratch.

In a well insulated new build, an underfloor heating setup is at least 25% more energy efficient heating compared to radiators. This is because it operates best with low boiler flow temperatures, while covering a larger surface area throughout the home.

Especially With Heat Pumps

While the gas boiler ban in new builds has been postponed to 2035, the means to provide low-carbon energy efficient heating is already here. Our underfloor heating Shropshire business has recently included heat pumps in the services we provide to construction projects.

Heat pumps have no reliance on gas to provide heating, they are more efficient than a condensing boiler, and can easily integrate with renewable energy sources included in a new build.

Underfloor heating combined with a heat pump is up to 40% more efficient than radiators paired with a heat pump. If you are committing to providing low carbon housing with a heat pump, then underfloor heating is the best energy efficient heating option.

Low Carbon Liquid Floor Screed Solutions

For energy efficient underfloor heating, to last long with efficient heat transfer, it should ideally be covered with liquid screed. Unlike traditional screed, liquid floor screed has a number of low-carbon applications that provide a minimal footprint to your construction project.

Anhydrite screed formulations has a reduced carbon footprint as it is less energy intensive to produce than sand and cement screed. Furthermore, we are able to provide Gyvlon ECO and ECO FD liquid floor screed, which are made with recycled materials and compatible with many floor coverings.
