Underfloor Heating


In period properties the issue of warmth can be taxing. Many older homes take a great deal of heating! And the more remote locations rely on deliveries of fossil fuels. Efficiency and effectiveness are high on the agenda - but so is aesthetics. 'State of the Art' Aluminium/Cross linked polythene 100% oxygen tight diffusion barrier pipework. Pipework expansion system giving silent 'click and creak' free system operation in suspended and floating floors. Comprehensive range of thermostatic, zonal, and timed control systems. The answer is a network of hot pipes below the floor surface. Safe for children, no extra dusting, up to 50% more efficient, and nothing to spoil the look of your room. With underfloor heating, there's nothing to spoil the visual enjoyment of your room. No unsightly radiators to fade yellow or stain. No pipework to try and hide or camouflage.

Underfloor heating is remarkably fuel-efficient. It uses 15-20% less energy to achieve the same comfort conditions as other forms of heating in a normal domestic height room. In areas with higher ceilings, the savings can be in excess of 50%. Our pipe has a 10-year insurance backed guarantee which includes a full replacement of damaged items as a result of faulty pipe. Our manifolds and accompanying equipment all carry a full 12 months manufacturers warranty. The low surface temperatures associated with underfloor heating mean that any floor coverings and carpets never reach a temperature that causes them damage.

Systems can be installed into existing buildings.

Components


Controls include:

Integral water temperature control to suit type of boiler fitted. Integral zone shut off valves, if required, so the system can be mixed with radiators etc on the same boiler. Individual temperature regulation of each room by thermostat for ultimate ease of operation and fuel efficiency. Electronic time and temperature programmable thermostat for optimum comfort control of key rooms. Programmable thermostats allow the choice of different temperatures at different times to suit varying life-styles. (Radio thermostat available as an option, which requires no wiring between thermostat and manifold). Master switch built in for change over from individual to master control; allows all rooms on one manifold to be overridden from one thermostat if required. Wide range of control options including holiday setback option and different thermostat types for optimum comfort and least visual intrusion. Remote pump & control sets for large projects.

System pipework:

'State of the art' quality composite cross-linked polyethylene. Aluminium-polyethylene sandwich, oxygen tight diffusion barrier pipework. 100% oxygen tight. Aluminium controls the pipework expansion giving silent 'click and creak' free system operation in suspended and floating floors. Comprehensive insurance underwritten cover on pipe. Can be detected when buried in the floor with a simple cable or pipe detector - no accidentally punctured pipes.
