While best-known for supplying sumptuous warmth inside, underfloor heating can also be deployed outside your home to supply multiple benefits. In this blog, we’ll look at three different outdoor applications for this innovative heating solution.
Underfloor heated patios
When you’d like to use your patio all-year-round, underfloor heating is the answer.
Perfectly compatible with common patio surface materials like natural stone, terracotta tiling and concrete paving, underfloor heating can be fitted below, making the most of these floor choices’ high heat conductive properties.
Along with turning your alfresco dining into a luxe experience, underfloor heating can melt ice, making patios safer during the colder months of the years.
Underfloor heating on roofing
Placed near important outdoor plumbing and drainage systems like guttering, underfloor heating can help combat freezing.
Frozen pipework and drainage can cause major disruptions indoors from leaks to blockages, which can lead to costly repairs, but well positioned radiant heat systems can protect them.
Underfloor heated driveways
Paths and driveways can also take advantage of underfloor heating, especially in parts of the UK that experience severe weather like snow and ice.
Saving users labour, underfloor heating can melt driveways and garden paths, so homeowners don’t have to keep clearing them.
Underfloor heating also makes them safer to use in winter, while preserving the materials they are made of, which can become cracked and damaged when subject to excessive snow and ice for long periods of time.
