After extensive research we have established an affiliation with Nu Heat. We have negotiated a special discount for all our clients who order the system through us. We have simplified what we believe is the perfect solution for any home whatever heating source you use whether you have one of our wood floors or other types of floors. Some pictures of installations can be seen here.
You can view our original general document here where there is lots of information from different sources. However the following is now what we recommend as Martyn Ryder our CEO is installing this in his own home, (some of which is new build and some existing) after a lot of research from a large number of manufacturers and suppliers.
We can guarantee any installation of this system with our wood floors glued down using the Bona R850 adhesive which has been specifically designed with underfloor heating in mind.
The following are the main reasons for recommending this system and company:
-
On receipt of drawings and details of the area to be covered with underfloor heating along with the type of heat source (boiler, heat pump etc.,) we will produce a CAD drawing and provide a full quote with what we recommend
-
This system does not have joins in the pipe that goes on the insulated sub floor however large the space, this ensures you will never have a problem with leaks unlike other system. The only joins are where the pipes are fitted on to the manifold, see below
-
We also recommend that you include the Aquastar hot water loop and the energy master thermal store cylinder. see below We will recommend if you need more than one of these.
-
The type of Thermostat is very personal but will also be based on what work you are doing and if it is a new build or refurbishment. We recommend the Deluxe low voltage programmable thermostat shown below but this does need CAT 5 or above cabling.
Some companies make life very complicate with the array of options but the system we recommend is simple to install and only needs to be commissioned by a qualified plumber. Some of our wood floor fitters are qualified to install the pipe work and lay the screed and then fix the wood floor for you. See other details on Carpets and Rugs with underfloor heating and other surfaces including wood floors, ceramic tiles and Natural Stone.
The energy Master Thermal Store Cylinder guarantees reduced heating bills, improved efficiency with a faster more responsive under floor heating system, it will also work with the integrated 3kW immersion heater if your boiler fails. The brochure is here for full details. There is a comprehensive touch screen control which controls every zone.
The Aquastar Thermal Loop ensures you have
instant hot water and will keep your towel rails warm even when the heating system is turned off. Lots of instant hot water (you don't have to wait from the cold water to run off) for every tap in the house.
