Underfloor heating is available in two different forms; water and electric

The water system is a network of pipes linked to the boiler that pump hot water around a room.

An electric system is a network of wires and coils under the floor that heat up.

There are some pros and cons to underfloor heating.

Pros

You have the comfort of walking on warm flooring in the winter, especially when using the bathroom,

There are no sharp edges or hot radiators to hurt yourself on, especially toddlers.

Underfloor heating is easy to run and requires very little or no maintenance and radiators do not need to be bled.

Cons

Installation can be very expensive.

Underfloor heating can take longer to heat up than a radiator and with smaller underfloor heating systems they may not heat up enough of a room adequately so you may require a freestanding radiator as well.
