The place where you greet guests and return from outdoor excursions, entrance halls work best when they’re welcoming.
Often limited in space, they are notoriously difficult to decorate, and even harder to heat effectively. Their proximity to the outside world can make them colder than other parts of the home, and to cope with mud, they’re better served by harder waterproof floor finishes.
The use of underfloor heating (UFH) in your entranceway can resolve these unwelcoming attributes, and make halls a more comfortable environment to invite guest inside. It can also make arriving home after battling the elements a pleasurable experience.
While radiators protrude from walls and require pipes and ductwork that can make hallways even more cramped, radiant floor heating systems keep wall space free for decorative pictures and small furniture items, while never impeding passage. As a result, halls are easier to navigate and more pleasant aesthetically.
Unlike convection heaters, the radiant warmth from UFH ensures halls are heated evenly, with no draughts and cold patches for a heartier welcome. Both electric and wet systems work exceptionally well with durable flooring suited to outdoor-indoor activity. Hard tiles warm up swiftly and retain heat for longer, ensuring a cosy experience for arrivals.
Halls are places we spend time standing upright, and UFH enjoyment is maximised as radiant warmth reaches the soles of weary feet.
