Term Definition
underfloor heating

(pronounced UN-der-flor HEE-ting)

Exactly what it sounds like: warm, toasty heat radiating from what would otherwise be a cold, toe-curling floor. But how to achieve? Sink hot water pipes or electric heating cables near the upper surface of a concrete floor slab or in the screed that sits on top. There’s nothing as luxurious as getting out of the shower, grabbing a warm towel from the warming rack and stepping onto a heated floor. Just like sitting in First Class, you’ll never want to go back.
