Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing
a new system, Worcester Greenfloor heating can provide
an ideal alternative to traditional radiators. Worcester’s
Greenfloor heating system uses a water-filled pipe system
that turns the floor into a large surface area radiator. The
pipe system gently warms the space above it through a
combination of radiant energy and heat conduction.
In a modern, well-insulated space where heat loss factors
have been taken into consideration, underfloor heating
can act as the primary heating source and, in most cases,
no other space heating methods will be required.
Underfloor heating operates with lower water temperatures
than traditional radiator systems. This makes it suitable
for use with Worcester condensing boilers, ensuring they
remain at their optimum efficiency, with significant
energy savings.
As there are no radiators to take up space, Worcester
Greenfloor systems also provide maximum flexibility within
the property. They can also be used with a wide range of
floor coverings, including parquet, carpeting, marble or tiles.
Underfloor heating is a system where every component is
important to the overall performance. Worcester Greenfloor
systems provide a comprehensive selection of high quality
system components, while offering considerable flexibility to
meet all project needs.
