what is underfloor heating?
Choosing underfloor heating from Robert Cliff Ltd means you get a system that enhances comfort, frees up wall space by eliminating the need for radiators, and improves energy efficiency, especially when paired with modern insulation and smart controls. Contact us today to learn more about how our underfloor heating solutions can transform your space.
At Robert Cliff Ltd, we specialise in providing top-quality underfloor heating solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Underfloor heating is an efficient and effective way to warm a room by distributing heat evenly beneath the floor, creating a comfortable and inviting environment. We offer two main types of underfloor heating systems:
Electric Underfloor Heating
Our electric systems use heating cables or mats installed beneath the floor. When switched on, these systems quickly heat the floor surface and, subsequently, the entire room, providing consistent and comfortable warmth.

Water-Based Underfloor Heating
Our hydronic systems use a series of pipes connected to a boiler or heat pump. Hot water circulates through these pipes, heating the floor above. This system is particularly efficient for larger areas and is ideal for new builds or major renovations.
How does Underfloor heating work?
At Robert Cliff Ltd we offer advanced underfloor heating systems designed for both residential and commercial properties. Underfloor heating works by distributing heat evenly beneath the floor, creating a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout the room.
Our electric underfloor heating systems use heating cables or mats installed under the floor surface. When switched on, these cables or mats generate heat that rises, warming the floor and the room above. This method is especially effective for smaller spaces or when retrofitting existing rooms.
For larger areas and new constructions, we provide water-based (hydronic) underfloor heating systems. These systems consist of a network of pipes connected to a boiler or heat pump, through which hot water circulates, spreading heat across the floor. This type of system is highly efficient and ensures even heat distribution.
With our underfloor heating solutions, you can enjoy enhanced comfort, improved energy efficiency, and a warm, inviting environment in your home or business.
Radiators vs underfloor heating
Our expert team at Robert Cliff Ltd can guide you in choosing the best heating solution to meet your specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency for your space. Underfloor heating and radiators each have their own benefits.
Radiators
Radiators, on the other hand, are a traditional and widely used heating method. They are quicker to install and can be more cost-effective upfront. Radiators provide immediate heat and are easily adjustable with thermostatic controls.
However, they can create uneven heating, with hot spots near the radiator and cooler areas further away.

Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution across the entire floor, creating a consistent and comfortable environment. It is hidden from view, freeing up wall space and allowing for more flexible interior design.
Additionally, underfloor heating is typically more energy-efficient as it operates at lower temperatures compared to radiators.
