Underfloor heating

Nu-Heat’s super slim LoPro range makes UFH simple to install in virtually any project. It adds as little as 15mm in terms of height build-up

Underfloor heating (UFH) is often chosen because, as the name suggests, it’s hidden beneath your floor covering. This allows for clean lines and an open flow throughout your home that is uninterrupted by radiators. It also frees up wall space, which gives you the feeling of extra room, too.

UFH works really well with renewable technology such as heat pumps because it works at a lower temperature than a standard radiator system (around 27ºC-31ºC). This means an energy efficient setup and less demand on your boiler for a similar, if not better, level of comfort.
