Polyplumb barrier pipe can be used in underfloor central heating systems, which can be used with, or instead of, steel panel radiators. Underfloor central heating (UFCH) gives “invisible” warmth - ideal for modern living, giving clean interior design and maximum usable wall space. UFCH is safer and cleaner than radiator systems as there are no hot surfaces, and dust and air movement are minimised.
Underfloor central heating systems work primarily by heat radiation supplemented by some convection. As the floor radiates heat uniformly over its surface there is uniform heat distribution - no hot and cold spots - consistent comfort. And best of all, a warm floor - even the best radiator systems can leave you with cold feet.
Polyplumb offers four configurations of underfloor central heating suitable for new build, retrofit, or any type of construction. All are compatible with standard central heating boilers and are especially suitable for use with condensing boilers which give maximum efficiency at low output levels.
The Polyplumb UFCH system involves no specialist equipment or “science”. Rather it involves simple application of standard Polyplumb piping fittings plus one specialist manifold.
