Enviroair underfloor heating, for comfort and efficiency

T aking advantage of one of the most basic laws of physics, that heat rises, Firebird’s Enviroair Underfloor Heating is far more

ceiling - a much less efficient heating method. Firebird’s Enviroair Underfloor Heating is a Multilayer Railing system. The Multilayer Pipe with an embedded aluminium layer is oxygen tight. Despite being highly flexible, this multilayer pipe is characterised by high tenacity and fatigue strength. The fixing of the underfloor heating pipes takes place with the help of the self-adhesive fixing rails. A rail installation has the advantage that the heating circuits can be changed as desired without damaging the underlying insulation. It provides a good acoustic as the impact noise insulation is not penetrated.

A “wet” underfloor heating system is like a giant radiator at floor level. A series of plastic pipes are connected to a heat source to

efficient than traditional radiators when heating a home as it provides a steady, even temperature throughout the house. Whether you are building a new house or upgrading, “wet” underfloor heating creates a more comfortable environment than the air provided by conventional radiators. Underfloor heating generally runs at 45°C as apposed to 80 °C used in radiator systems, which saves hugely on energy

circulate warm water throughout the floor to heat the space by producing radiant heat. Since the floor (the radiator) is so large and the heat is more evenly distributed, it only needs to run at a low temperature to heat the room. This means that the water flowing around the floor needs to be at a far lower temperature than a traditional radiator system. The
