Electric Underfloor Heating: The Perfect Solution for Your Home

Can you imagine walking barefoot through your home in the middle of winter without feeling cold? Or having a perfect, uniform temperature in every room without radiators taking up space? The electric underfloor heating distributed by Deckplanet makes this possible, making it the favourite choice of thousands of households looking for comfort, efficiency and a cosier home.

If you are thinking of changing your heating system or installing it in your new home, this article will help you understand everything you need to know about this amazing technology in a simple and clear way.

What exactly is electric underfloor heating?

Imagine that the entire floor of your home becomes a giant, yet invisible and silent radiator. That's basically what electric underfloor heating is: a system that heats your home from the bottom up, creating a feeling of natural, enveloping warmth.

The system works by means of very thin electrical resistors that are installed under the floor. When connected to the electric current, these resistors generate heat that is evenly distributed over the entire surface, directly heating the floor and thus the entire room.

Best of all, this warmth feels completely natural, like lying in the sun on a spring afternoon. There are no draughts, no disturbing noises, and the temperature is perfect from head to toe.

How does it really work?

The operation is simpler than it seems. The system distributed by Deckplanet includes several components that work together:

The heating elements are like tiny, very thin wires that heat up when electricity passes through them. They can come in the form of individual wires, ready-made blankets, or ultra-thin sheets, depending on what best suits your floor type.

Thermal insulation is placed under the entire system to ensure that the heat goes up into your house and doesn't escape downwards. It's like putting a blanket under the system so that all the heat goes where it needs to go.

The thermostat is your command control. With it you can decide what temperature you want at any given moment, program schedules, and control consumption. The most modern ones can even be operated from your mobile phone.

Temperature sensors are the "eyes" of the system. They constantly monitor the temperature of the floor and the room to always maintain the heat level you have chosen.

Types of systems available

Deckplanet offers different options to suit any situation:

For renovations without building workIf you don't want to raise the existing floor, there are ultra-thin systems that are installed directly on top of the existing flooring. They are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens or any room where you want to add heating without complications.

For new construction or complete refurbishmentIf you are building or completely renovating, you can opt for more robust systems that integrate seamlessly into the floor from the start.

For any type of soilWhether you have tiles, parquet, vinyl or any other material, there is a compatible system. The heat works perfectly with all types of flooring.

Benefits you will notice from day one

Unrivalled comfort

Forget about cold feet in the morning. With underfloor heating, the entire surface is at a comfortable temperature, creating a feeling of well-being that you won't get with any other heating system.

Uniform warmth throughout the house

No more cold spots near windows or icy corners. The heat is distributed evenly throughout the room, from floor to ceiling, without disturbing draughts.

More space in your home

By not needing radiators or other visible elements, you gain free wall space to place furniture wherever you want. Your interior decorator will thank you.

Absolute silence

The system operates completely silently. There are no noises from boilers, pumps or radiators to disturb you during the night.

Simple installation

In contrast to other complicated systems, electric underfloor heating can be installed relatively quickly and without major building work, especially in renovations.

Virtually zero maintenance

Once installed, the system operates for years without the need for constant servicing or frequent repairs. There are no pipes to leak and no boilers that require annual maintenance.

How much does it really consume?

This is probably one of the questions you are most concerned about, and it is completely normal. The consumption of electric underfloor heating depends on several factors that are, to a large extent, under your control:

Factors influencing expenditure

Insulation of your home is key. If your house is well insulated (double-glazed windows, insulated walls, etc.), it will need much less energy to keep warm. It's like wearing a good coat in winter: you need less heating.

Your use of the system makes a big difference. Thanks to programmable thermostats, you can set the system to operate only when you are at home and lower the temperature when you don't need it.

The size and type of spaces also plays a role. Small, well laid out rooms are more efficient than very large, open spaces.

The climate zone where you live will determine how long the system needs to run. In milder climates, the expense will be significantly less.

Tips for optimising consumption

• Set the thermostat to lower the temperature when you are not at home.
• Maintain a constant temperature instead of constantly going up and down.
• Make sure your home is well insulated.
• Consider combining the system with solar panels for greater efficiency.
