An overlay, or retrofit, underfloor heating system is laid over the existing floor without the need for excavation. These systems are becoming more and more popular, particularly where underfloor heating is desirable but with minimal floor height increase. What are the benefits of overlay underfloor heating?
Easy to Install With No Excavation
Did you know there is absolutely no need to dig up your floor in order to install warm water underfloor heating? An overlay underfloor heating system can be easily installed by simply laying it over your existing floor. These systems are becoming more and more popular, particularly where underfloor heating is desirable but with minimal floor height increase.

Suitable for Most Properties
As well as being installed with little disruption, overlay underfloor heating systems are suitable in almost all property types. If you live in a new home, guidelines dictate that the property has to be built following firm guidelines regarding insulation and air tightness. Insulation is key to a successful underfloor heating system and this means all new UK properties will be suitable for underfloor heating.
However older properties can also benefit from underfloor heating. Overlay or retrofit solutions offer higher heat outputs alongside a low profile which makes them a great fit where underfloor heating may not have been an option previously.

Efficient to Run
Once installed a warm water underfloor heating system is very cost efficient to run. Heating up at the same speed as a radiator, the system warms consistently. The pipes are heated using warm water and run at around a third of the cost of electric underfloor heating. So, as well as being efficient to install, it’s also efficient to run!
