Underfloor heating works by circulating warm water through a series of continuous loops that are fitted underneath your floor creating a large radiant surface that heats your room from the floor upwards. This radiant form of heating is much more comfortable than the convected heat provided by radiators which draws cold air across the floor, heating it and then convecting it upwards towards the ceiling. Underfloor heating has many advantages, right from initial installation, through to the long term energy bills of the homeowner.
As part of your underfloor heating system, Ambiente can also supply the necessary insulation products, as well as board materials for laying over the top of floating systems. Please send us your project enquiries for a competitive quotation. Ambiente strongly recommends the use of cement-based structural boards, over standard chipboard/plywood, due to better heat transfer and a more stable surface onto which floor coverings can be laid. We offer a small range of flooring adhesives, particularly for use with floating and low-profile UFH systems, where various parts of the floor make-up need to be bonded together.
A commonly asked question by property owners when considering underfloor heating (UFH) is 'What floor covering can I put on top?'. The short answer is that most finishes can be used with UFH, but need to be taken into account at design stage in order to ensure that the resistance value of the chosen floor covering does not adversely affect the output of the UFH system. In general terms, harder surfaces such as stone and ceramic are best due for use with UFH as they have the lowest thermal resistance, providing the best heat output - in contrast to coverings like deep-pile carpets and rugs which have the opposite effect.
At Ambiente we are confident that we will have a wet underfloor heating system that meets your requirements - we have supplied our systems into many different building types from residential dwellings to museums and commercial properties. We have also developed many bespoke systems where conventional systems simply don't cover the requirements.

The long-awaited changes to Part L Building Regulations have now been confirmed to be regulated in December 2021, coming into force in 2022. This means all new build properties will run low carbon heating systems. The 2021 uplift will mean 31% lower CO2 emissions. Maximum designed flow temperature.
With Christmas only a week away and everyone getting in the festive spirit, we wanted to take the time to thank you for your continued custom this year.
The Climate Change Committee has called for the sale of gas boilers to be banned entirely by 2033! A big change for the industry but a great one for the environment. UFH is the perfect partner for all current and future proposed systems.
