Wet underfloor heating circulates warm water through polyethene barrier pipes laid beneath the floor, fed from your existing boiler or a heat pump.
It suits new builds and larger renovations where floors are being lifted. Running costs are substantially lower than electric systems, making it the preferred choice for whole-house installations across Brighton and Sussex.
Under floor heating systems are compatible with tile, stone, engineered timber, laminate and vinyl flooring.
Carpets can be used provided the combined tog value of carpet and underlay stays below 2.5. LGS will advise on the right system for your chosen floor finish before any work begins.
