Underfloor heating services
What is underfloor heating?
Quite simply underfloor heating is a system that uses pipes below the floor to circulate warm water producing a heat source capable of heating the air above it to any required temperature.
Underfloor Heating (UFH) is a form of radiant heating meaning that the heat emitted from the floor warms people and other objects in rooms rather than directly heating the air as is the case with radiators (convection heating).
One of the key advantages of radiant heating systems is a much decreased circulation of air inside the room and the corresponding spreading of airborne particles.
It is now widely agreed by architects, developers and homeowners alike that underfloor heating is the system of choice for both domestic and commercial properties and developments.

Applications
Underfloor heating is very flexible and simple to install. It can be easily added to an existing building, perhaps as part of a conservatory or kitchen extension, or it can be installed as the main heating system for a new build project either domestic or commercial.
Underfloor Heating Methods
Staple Underfloor Heating
Simple and easy-to-lay underfloor heating system for screeded floors
- Simple to install
- Flexible
- Suitable for all screeded floors
The staple system provides a quick, flexible and simple method of installing underfloor heating in a screeded floor. The pipe is easily held using staples. The staples have a barbed end which fixes into the insulation.
To speed up the process further, a pipe stapler is available making installation even easier and faster. In preparation for certain screeds & polythene sheet/membrane may be required over the insulation prior to stapling the pipe. Please seek advice from insulation and screeding manufacturer’s/suppliers.
Warmboard Overfloor Panel 18MM (600MM X 800MM)
WARM-BOARD utilises an 18mm high density dry screed board, which acts as a heat conducting surface, transferring the heat from the pipes to the heated floor above. Once up to temperature, it delivers sufficient heat output to provide warm and even ambient temperatures within the living space. The best floor coverings to combine with the WARM-BOARD, are hard surfaces such as stone and tile, as they offer the least resistance to heat transfer compared to carpets. The main benefit of the WARMâBOARD, is the option for the direct application of tiles, as it can be applied directly with the use of flexible adhesive. However, in most instances, a 6mm ply cover is recommended prior to tiling. When floor coverings such as carpet are to be fitted, the system design must factor in the extra heat output that will be needed; this loss in output needs to be negated by increasing the flow temperature.
WARM-BOARD uses a unique patent pending End Support system, which helps to secure and support both the floor covering above, and the pipe work within. WARM-BOARD can be fitted directly above concrete or floorboards in both retro fit and new construction applications, with the potential for the direct application of tiles to the board; with its versatility, it offers a quick and easy installed solution.
The WARM-BOARD 12mm MULTIPEX 5 layer pipe, is laid from the chosen manifold location in a serpentine pattern, and secured at pregrooved 150mm* pipe centres within the WARM-BOARD. The pipe is then supported by the End Support with its self-retaining pipe locking system, enabling a quick one man installation.
