By now, it’s pretty common to have at least heard of underfloor heating; likely you’ve heard of an opulent bathroom with underfloor heating or perhaps the widespread application in Asian homes and apartments, but perhaps little else. Well, what if we were to tell you that underfloor heating may soon replace forced air furnaces entirely? Shocking? Then read on, and find out why your terrazzo flooring installation is the perfect opportunity to greatly improve your home’s heating!
Terrazzo + Underfloor Heating Synergy
This may seem like a strange mixture, but terrazzo flooring and heating elements underneath go together quite well. Not only is terrazzo a highly compatible material for retaining, passing, and dispersing heat throughout a room, but the types of rooms that feature terrazzo flooring are also optimal. This is simply because underfloor heating becomes exponentially more valuable in larger, more open spaces. Whereas forced air and radiation heating emit heat from set points in the room, only to cycle and draw in the air once it cools to force it through the system again, underfloor heating radiates the heat upward through the room evenly, regardless of the room’s size. Naturally, larger spaces benefit from the lack of wasted airflow far more than tightly confined spaces. The connection to terrazzo? Simple! Most terrazzo applications are on main level areas, in both residential and commercial, where open living space, foyers, and atriums are highly common; all of these areas greatly benefit from underfloor heating.
Low Cost, Low Maintenance
Boy, if there were 4 words we could hear before any major purchase, it would be those. Both terrazzo flooring and underfloor heating are low cost and low maintenance. In fact, you could even throw in “incredibly long lasting” as well, as underfloor heating systems can last for many years without ever being serviced and may never need to be replaced; as we all know, terrazzo flooring is famous for being able to last decades with minor maintenance.
Unmatched Quality
Just like terrazzo flooring offers unmatched beauty, customization, and longevity, underfloor heating offers its users a far more efficient, effective, and continuous flow of heat. Far beyond simply avoiding the cool touch of stone in the winter, your floors can heat your entire home with an evenly spread heat that can easily be customized, activated, de-activated, and otherwise managed.
