Under Floor Heating

JRK Plumbing is an Authorised REHAU under floor heating installer.

We are always improving our knowledge with the up to date technology that is occurring in todays world.

We would like to give you this opportunity by giving you this information on the latest efficient energy saving way of heating your home.

Underfloor heating?

Underfloor heating works by circulating warm water through a network of cross-linked poly-ethlene pipes laid in the floors, gently spreading heat through the house. With traditional radiators, temperature variations can occur due to uneven radiator coverage.

Not so with underfloor heating, as the pipe network covers the entire floor area for even heat distribution throughout.

 

Minimal Maintenance:

  • Almost zero maintenance
  • Expected life of well over 50 years
  • Tough and robust
  • Corrosion free
  • Resistant to scale build up.

Energy Efficient:

  • It warms your body not the entire air mass
  • Comfortable at a lower air temperature
  • 15-30% savings.

Safety and Health Benefits:

  • No hot, hard radiators for young or old to injure themselves
  • Benefit to asthma and allergy suffers
  • Convection currents and draughts are all but eliminated
  • Lower dust levels on the house.

Under floor heating systems are particularly adaptable and can be installed in both old and new buildings/homes under a wide range of floor coverings including screed, flagstones, tiles, carpets, rugs, laminates and timber.
