Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating systems distribute heat evenly across a floor surface rather than relying on radiators. The pipework sits within grooved boards or floor build-ups, allowing warm water to circulate beneath the finished floor.

This type of system is commonly used in extensions, new builds and renovation projects where low profile heating and consistent room temperatures are important.

Our range includes solvent waste fittings, overflow components, compression fittings, push-fit systems, copper pipework and MDPE pipe used for external water supply connections.

How Underfloor Heating Systems Are Installed

Grooved Heating Boards

Grooved boards are designed to hold the pipework in place across the floor area. The pre-cut channels guide the pipe layout and help ensure consistent heat distribution.

Heating Pipe

The 16mm pipe carries warm water from the heating system through the floor. The pipe layout is normally arranged in loops to maintain even temperatures across the room.

Pipe Clips

Clips or staples are used when installing pipe onto insulation boards or subfloors, securing the pipework before screed or flooring layers are installed.

Underfloor heating pipework normally connects into the wider plumbing system, which includes components from our pipe & fittings collection.

FAQ’s:

What size pipe is typically used for underfloor heating?

Most domestic wet underfloor heating systems use 16mm pipe, which balances flow performance and ease of installation.

How much pipe is needed for an underfloor heating system?

Pipe length depends on the floor area and spacing used in the layout. Larger rooms or closer pipe spacing will require longer pipe runs.

What are grooved boards used for?

Grooved boards hold the pipework in place and guide the pipe layout across the floor, helping maintain consistent heat coverage.
