“The complete, bespoke package that Nu‑Heat delivers is great. The design process, literature and the people we deal with day-to-day are superb.

I know that I can handover the user instructions and design drawings to the end user and they will find it easy to understand and use their new heating system.

Knowing that Nu‑Heat provides all that I need cuts out the headaches for me. It’s a cracking company!”

 

Installing Screed underfloor heating

The most popular solution for new build properties and extensions.

  2. The ClipTrack is fitted. This holds the heating tube at even spacing.
  3. The UFH tube is pushed into the ClipTrack following the bespoke design drawings supplied by Nu‑Heat.
  4. Once the tube is connected back to the manifold, the system can be filled, flushed and pressure tested.
  5. The screed can then be laid whilst the tube is under pressure.
