Low-temperature systems and supply chain collaboration lead to successful self-build project

Innovative product features

Polypipe Building Products’ UFH systems used in this project offer several key benefits:

• Overlay Plus panels: these panels include integrated pipe returns bends and connection pipe runs, eliminating the need for separate plastic end return panels.
• Enhanced multi-directional transition panels: these easy-to-install panels allowed the flexible routing of connection pipes to reach each heating zone efficiently. The easy-to-cut panels simplified the installation process and provided a complete floor system ready for final coverings without additional screeding, saving time and money.
• Patented technology: Polypipe’s Premium Manifolds with automatic flow control valves ensured optimum temperature distribution and uniform heat output, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency.

Elegant and open feel to the home

The customer was impressed with the seamless integration of Polypipe Building Products’ UFH systems, which provided an elegant and open feel to the home by eliminating the need for radiators. The underfloor heating system is now contributing to lower energy consumption by distributing heat evenly at lower temperatures, resulting in reduced energy bills and lower carbon emissions.

Polypipe Building Products’ comprehensive support, from initial design and layout to on-site technical advice, ensured the project’s success. The collaboration with Ardex further enhanced the installation process, providing a reliable and efficient floor finish.

This self-build project highlights Polypipe Building Products’ commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality, and energy-efficient heating solutions. By working closely with experienced installers and the supply chain, the team were able to ensure a seamless installation and long-term satisfaction for homeowners.

The successful implementation of the Solid Red Panel System and Overlay Plus Enhanced with Multi-Directional Transition Panels in this project underscores Polypipe’s position as a leader in sustainable heating solutions.
