How Underfloor Heating Benefits Commercial Premises

Underfloor heating isn’t only a solution for residential settings, in commercial settings such as offices, medical practices, retail shops, or restaurants; it can provide a wide selection of benefits.

EasyFlow is a liquid floor screeding and underfloor heating Shropshire-based business who have helped many commercial businesses upgrade and implement underfloor heating. Today, our experts explain the benefits this type of heating can provide in commercial settings.

Increased Comfort for Employees and Clients

Those who have worked in climates controlled by air conditioning or space heaters will be well aware that the closer you are to the heat source, the more you will feel the benefit of it. The further away you are, the less likely you are to be experiencing comfortable conditions.

Underfloor heating on the other hand heats rooms evenly compared to forced air systems. Using carefully designed hot water circuits built into the floor, heat is distributed in a way that the whole room is warmed to comfortable conditions from the ground up.

It also operates virtually silently, without forcing air to circulate around the room to distribute heat, reducing the number of distractions present in the environment.

Furthermore, in older commercial premises, uneven, pitted, creaking floors are commonplace. Using liquid floor screeding and floor insulation to control floor height, upgrading to underfloor heating allows commercial businesses the opportunity to improve their flooring and the visitor experience.

Healthier Air

Any heating system that forces air to circulate, also circulates dust and contributes to the increase in allergy-causing dust mites. Furthermore, air conditioning units have to be cleaned and maintained, and risk being contaminated with dangerous bacteria if water condensate is allowed to stagnate. Controlling these factors are essential, especially where clinical environments have to be maintained.

Underfloor heating doesn’t circulate air, which reduces the amount of airborne dust. Furthermore, as it is an efficient heating solution, it helps keep the environment out of the ideal conditions for mould growth.

Energy Efficient Heating

By far, the biggest benefit is energy efficient heating that has the potential to cut operational costs in the long term, and helping to reduce carbon emission in the short term. Underfloor heating can save up to 40% on energy bills, especially if installed with a heat pump. As an energy efficient heating solution, the cost of installation can be offset through the use of energy efficiency and heat source grants.
