What are the advantages of underfloor heating for hoteliers?

When guests stay in a hotel, they often want to indulge in life’s luxuries. This could take the form of spacious king-sized beds, or room service accompanied by elegant cocktails. Whether it’s beneath the carpeted flooring of a suite or warming then tiles of a deluxe wet room, underfloor heating (UFH) provides the decadent comfort visitors are seeking. However, along with providing guests a luxe experience, UFH has additional benefits for hotel owners.

Reduced energy usage

Utility costs can shave profit margins, but UFH can help. More energy efficient than traditional radiator-based systems UFH ensures heat is distributed evenly and flooring stays warmer for longer while systems are running at lower temperatures. This can add up to substantial savings for hoteliers.

Minimal maintenance

Daily running of a hotel can be tough enough, without the worry of constantly maintaining heating equipment in every room. UFH has no radiators which require bleeding and electric systems need little to no maintenance to operate at maximum efficiency.

Accessing space to increase profits

Hotel guests pay more for larger rooms; UFH can help hoteliers access more of the space in the accommodation they provide. While radiators take up considerable real estate on walls making rooms appear more cramped, a UFH installation raises no such issue. Equipment is stored out of view, which not only makes rooms feel more spacious, but also appear more stylish without bulky and often unsightly radiators jutting from walls.
