Silence
The installation of most underfloor heating systems allows them to operate without making any sound. This silent running can help in making a building more relaxing and comfortable for the occupants, a benefit that most will appreciate.
Air Quality
Some home heating options (particularly in the case of forced-air systems) can have a negative impact on the air quality in a home by blowing dust, pollen and allergens around. This is not the case with in-floor systems, which have no moving air and therefore will not cause air-quality problems. This can make them a good choice for anyone that suffers from allergies.
Efficient Heat Distribution
Because the entire floor of a room becomes heated using an underfloor system, warmth is distributed more evenly around the entire room. This results in much less chance of cold spots developing, where the heat can spread out unevenly from a vent or radiator at only 1 or 2 points in a room.
Comfort
During the colder months of the year, the floors in a home can become cold especially in the case of hard-surface flooring. Using an underfloor system removes this inconvenience, increasing the comfort of a home. In-floor heating also helps to concentrate more warmth in the lower half of a room, rather than up at the ceiling, and this can help improve comfort for occupants.
Energy Efficiency
The Radiant Panel Association indicates that occupants of a building using radiant heating, such as in-floor systems, can feel comfortable at lower room air temperatures than would be required with other types of heating. This enables running an underfloor system at a lower thermostat setting, which in turn saves energy and reduces energy bills.
