Underfloor Heating

Luxurious underfloor heating evenly distributed throughout your home

What is Underfloor Heating?


 

Underfloor heating involves the installation of pipework in the floor, so that the whole floor acts like a radiator, silently warming the room from the ground up. 

The pipework is concealed within the floor and is filled with warm water that can be powered by a boiler fueled by gas, diesel or wood or an air-to-water or geothermal heat pump. 

As underfloor heating takes up no wall space, it makes it ideal for large open plan homes or those with lots of glazing. A digital zone control is used to determine the temperature of each room/area.

All underfloor heating systems use a manifold. The manifold provides flow and return circulation of warm water at the correct temperature and flow rate to ensure an even, comfortable floor temperature throughout your home.

The manifold is best positioned centrally within your home. This keeps underfloor pipe circuit lengths to a minimum, helping to balance the system and control the temperatures within the rooms.

The manifold, which is contained in its own cabinet, is ideally situated within an airing cupboard, utility or cloak room and should be accessible for maintenance and servicing.

A combination of both underfloor and radiator heating can be installed within a home.

    Variocomp Floor Heating System Overlay


     

    The VarioComp Floor Heating System by Variotherm can be laid over solid or timber floors making it an excellent choice for renovations. VarioComp is mainly a retrofit underfloor heating system that is overlaid onto an existing floor structure and uses water-filled pipes to carry warmth throughout the home. 

    It has a super slim construction height of 20mm. Even with the low profile it has a high heat output and heats up extremely fast compared to traditional in-slab installations making it easier to control.

    Instalation Process:

    • 18mm thick Gypsum panels (600mm x 1000mm) are laid across floor area to be heated
    • VarioComp pipe (11.6mm) is then laid in the pre-routed runs of gypsum panels at spacing of 100mm
    • A filling compound is then poured and spread evenly across entire surface
    • Floor leveling compound is then applied (installed by a 3rd party flooring specialist)
    • Floor covering applied
