Underfloor Heating Kits
Underfloor Heating Kits: Choosing the Right Solution for UK Trades
For UK tradespeople, underfloor heating kits provide a streamlined, efficient way to purchase all essential components in one go. These all-in-one packages reduce the risk of missing parts, simplify installation planning, and often deliver better value than buying items separately. Whether you’re working on a new build or a retrofit, understanding which kit suits your project best allows you to make quick, confident decisions that save time and boost client satisfaction.
Wet Underfloor Heating Kits (Hydronic Systems)
Wet UFH kits are ideal for projects requiring warm water circulation through pipework. These systems are perfect for large spaces or whole-home heating solutions. Typical wet UFH kits include:
- Manifold: The core of the system, distributing heated water to each zone. Kits are matched to your project size, specifying the number of ports required.
- Pipework: High-quality PEX or Pert pipe, usually 16mm in diameter, provided in 100m or 200m coils.
- Pump & Mixing Unit: Regulates water temperature and ensures efficient flow, particularly when integrating with high-temperature boilers.
- Controls: Thermostats (manual or programmable) and actuator heads are included to manage temperature in each heating zone.
- Fixings & Accessories: Kits may contain pipe staples, edge insulation, and fixing tools for straightforward installation.
Tradespeople often choose wet kits for screeded floors in new builds or major extensions, due to their superior energy efficiency and reliable long-term performance.
Electric Underfloor Heating Kits (Dry Systems)
Electric UFH kits are popular for smaller rooms and retrofits, offering rapid installation and minimal floor build-up. These kits typically contain:
- Heating Mats or Cables: Pre-configured mats (2m², 6m² etc.) with fixed cable spacing, or loose cable options for irregular layouts.
- Thermostat: Digital or smart thermostats with floor probes for accurate control and overheat protection.
- Floor Primer & Adhesive: Ensures proper bonding to the subfloor and safe installation beneath your final floor covering.
- Insulation Boards: Included in many kits to prevent downward heat loss, improve efficiency, and enhance response time.
Electric kits are particularly suited to bathrooms, kitchens, and conservatories, where fast warm-up and compact design matter most.
