Polypipe has removed the mystique from specifying the correct under floor
heating solution for a given project and the need to calculate all of the individual
components required. Our unique Product Selector, which is available
on page 53 or online at www.ufch.com, uses a simple 3 step process to calculate
your requirements using basic project data that you provide. The system includes
details of over 300 pre-configured system kits that contain all of the parts and
components you need. Once you have determined the correct pack for your
project it can be ordered under a single item code via your merchant.
DESIGN SERVICE
For projects that fall outside the scope of the room packs or house packs,
Polypipe offers a fully bespoke system design service. To utilise this facility, simply
complete the enquiry form on page 54, or at www.ufch.com, and submit your
drawings to Polypipe. You will then receive a complete design and component
list for the project.
To use the Polypipe Product Selector you first decide whether
the project is a single room, a whole house solution, or requires
a bespoke design. You then simply input data for each room,
providing floor type, room size, and control zones to calculate
the required pack.
All packs have a single order code and include all the necessary
flooring materials, pipe, distribution (manifolds, ZRU, etc.),
water temperature and room temperature controls.
To select the appropriate solution, choose from the
following options:
Room Packs
Room packs are designed for single room applications: i.e. kitchens,
bathrooms, conservatories, loft conversions and extensions.
This range of under floor heating packs contain all the flooring
and control equipment required for a single project, in solid floor,
our traditional Overlay™ and our NEW Overlay™ Lite systems.
All room packs have a maximum heat output of 100W/m
2
.
House Packs
House packs provide you with a quick and easy way to select and
order from our range of under floor heating products, without the
need to submit a design. The packs are designed for solid, floating
or suspended (double heat spreader plate) projects.
Packs can be applied to all new build or renovation properties that
fall into the following criteria:
• Rooms requiring up to 70W/m
2
• Properties built to current Building Regulations
• Projects where the manifold can be positioned within 6m
of the room entrance
