Underfloor heating is a system that uses a network of pipes to warm the floor of your home. It’s usually connected to your boiler, which heats up the water that circulates around the system, but it can also be powered by a ground/air heat pump. Unlike traditional radiators, underfloor heating uses radiant and convective heat to evenly distribute warmth throughout your home.
Getting the right underfloor heating pipe for your project is a critical component to ensure that the system will work properly. Choosing the right pipe will help to improve the overall efficiency of your UFH system and reduce energy costs.
There are two types of underfloor heating systems: wet and electric. Wet underfloor heating systems use a manifold which distributes warm water around the system. The system is then controlled by thermostats in each room, which regulate the temperature of the heated floor.
The type of underfloor heating piping you choose will depend on the type of system you have, as well as your budget and installation requirements. For example, if you’re using a wet system then it’s essential to use a PEX or EVOH underfloor heating pipe that is Kitemarked to BS7291.
This is because these types of pipes are designed specifically for underfloor heating applications. They are cost effective and also highly efficient at transmitting heat. Our range of UFH pipes at Warmup includes a selection of different sizes and widths so you can find the perfect fit for your project. Underfloor heating pipe
