People who live in a warm or tropical climate may well not understand the need for an underfloor heating system, but ask any person living in a cold climate and you will get a long list of reasons. Cold and especially cold floors have been the bane of human existence for millennia. History shows us that the Romans did not like being cold as they had underfloor heating systems.

As we grew more sophisticated everyone in cold climates switched to the wall mounted radiator system still found in many homes today.
