"Luxury Underfoot: Highlights from Comfort Floors' & Speed Heat Best Projects"

Comfort Floors and Speed Heat are leading providers of underfloor heating in the UK, helping to keep homes, businesses and buildings warm throughout the UK for over 37 years. To show the flexibility and overall effectiveness of our underfloor heating, take a look at two exceptional installations that show the different use cases of our products: a castle restoration project and a modern underfloor heating system for a conservatory. These case studies help to show off the benefits of our underflooring systems; subtle, easy to install and cost effective.

Sensitive Solution for Historic Castle

Restoration projects are big investments and it’s always a tremendous honour to get involved with a major renovation of a historical building. Speedheats’ electrical underfloor heating was chosen to overcome a potential floor height problem in the Belvedere viewing room and two cloakrooms during the £5.5 million restoration of the historic Grade 2 listed building. Given the discreet and convenient nature of our design, this made Speedheat the ideal solution for the conservation team.

As explained by Rob Hooker, managing director of main contractor Greendale Construction:

“There were many conservation issues that had to be considered.”

Among them were restrictions on the floor height in the Belvedere and cloakrooms, where underfloor heating was to be installed.

“Because the Speedheat system is only 2mm thick, overlaid with a

thin latex screed and the final floor covering, there was no noticeable

increase in floor height.”

The restoration of the Victorian castle, now the Gateway Centre for the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, involved a mix of traditional and modern construction methods. Durlston Castle near Swanage is owned by Dorset County Council and is part of the Durlston Country Park and national nature reserve. The castle and its visitor centre has been home to thousands of visitors over the years including Princess Anne, who gave the royal seal of approval when she visited in 2012.

Our solutions are also just as effective domestically where the need for effective heating is constantly getting more difficult. With energy and heating prices only rising, heating solutions need to provide effective comfort while reducing overall impact on bills. Conservatory electric underfloor heating from Speedheat is just such a solution, providing effective heating even in the coldest months and with clever design features, they help to keep costs down.

Speedheat’s conservatory underfloor heating serves to work as a discreet and effective heating system that allows for a quick and easy way to heat your conservatory. There is no need to drag the bulky oil heater down from the loft or any need to sit behind misted-up glass – enjoy the beauty of the winter months outside while being warm and snug in your home.

Our underfloor heating is easy and quick to install, helping to keep inconvenience to a minimum. Our solutions can also be installed either in an existing conservatory or as it is being built. The system runs independently from your main heating so you don’t have to be worried about other areas in your home being impacted. The programmable thermostatic controls and quick warm up time helps to keep costs to a minimum by providing warmth only when and where you need it.

Our incredible heating solutions have been installed up and down the country, providing easy access heat and comfort to homes including this renovation job in Bedfordshire. Speedheat conservatory electric underfloor heating was installed throughout the house, enabling the homeowners to revel in the view whatever the weather.

These two projects help to showcase Comfort Floors’ dedication and commitment to combining modern comfort, where for domestic purposes or for historical or commercial renovation. By carefully integrating advanced underfloor heating systems, we ensure that these cherished spaces remain warm and inviting without compromising their unique character.
