Easy Steps To Calculate Your UFH Requirements

How Much Does Underfloor Heating Cost?

To calculate the underfloor heating system(s) you require within your room(s), you will need to determine your floor space. Calculating UFH requirements includes the total amount of floor space minus the area taken up by fixed objects. You will only need to heat the area that you are walking on.

Step 1 - It is recommended that you allow a 5 centimetre (2 inch) gap between the walls and area where you intend to install the heating system. Working out the total floor area in a rectangular room, all you need to do is multiply both numbers. For example if the room is 4m by 3m, multiply both numbers to give 12sqm.

Step 2 - After working out the total floor area, you need to work out how much floor space is taken up by fixed objects, i.e in the kitchen - start with the big items and finish with small items. For example, assume you have kitchen floor units 600mm in depth by 3m long; a free standing fridge, 600mm x 600mm. You need to calculate these areas i.e, 0.6m x 3.0m = 1.8 sqm and 0.6m x 0.6m = 1.2 sqm = Total area 3.0 sqm.

Step 3 - From Step 1 and Step 2 you now know the amount of fixed space: Step 1: 12 sqm Step 2 = 3 sqm.Now calculate the amount of free floor space for your underfloor heating: Floor space = 12 sqm – 6 sqm = 6 sqm. Therefore, 6sqm is what you require from your chosen underfloor heating system.

Underfloor heating on average costs £20/m2 to £40/m2 installed. The figures will depend on the property size and the needs within your home, whether adding underfloor heating to a new build, renovation or conversion.

Underfloor Heating is a more expensive option in comparison to radiator systems originally, however gives more space within the home. Adding energy efficiency to the home, the heating is an ideal feature for your homes interior.
