Professional Underfloor Heating Design & Material Calculation

Send us your PDF floor plans or a clearly dimensioned hand-drawn sketch. Our designer will prepare a proposed pipe layout and calculate the materials required for your water-based underfloor heating installation.

How our design service works

Whether you are a homeowner, plumber, installer or building contractor, we can help plan your underfloor heating layout. We use the measurements and project information you provide to propose heating circuits, pipe routing and an estimated bill of materials.

1

Send your floor plans

Provide PDF drawings or a clear hand-drawn sketch showing the rooms and accurate dimensions.

2

Choose your system

Tell us whether you are using a traditional screed, overlay, grooved chipboard or low-profile system.

3

Mark the manifold

Indicate the proposed location of the underfloor heating manifold on your plan.

4

Confirm the heat source

Let us know whether the system will be connected to a boiler, air source heat pump or ground source heat pump.

5

Receive your design

We prepare a proposed pipe layout, circuit arrangement, pipe lengths and estimated material list.

Which underfloor heating system are you planning?

Please identify the installation method so we can design around the correct floor build-up and components.

Traditional underfloor heating pipes clipped to insulation beneath screed

Traditional screed system

Pipes fixed to insulation using clips, then covered with a suitable screed. Common for new builds and floors with sufficient build-up depth.

Low-height overlay underfloor heating panels with heat diffusion layer

Overlay system

Pre-grooved panels with aluminium heat diffusion layers or cement-based surfaces, typically considered for renovation and low-build-up projects.

Grooved chipboard panels containing underfloor heating pipes

Grooved chipboard

Grooved chipboard panels accommodate heating pipes and can suit certain timber floor constructions, subject to the system specification.

Low-profile pipe-retention panels intended for compatible liquid screed

Low-profile with liquid screed

Low-profile pipe-retention panels, such as ProFix Plus-type systems, covered with a compatible liquid screed or levelling compound.

Manifold location

Underfloor heating manifold distribution unit

Please mark the proposed manifold position on your floor plan. Its location affects pipe routes, circuit lengths and the material calculation.

Not sure where to position it? Let us know before the layout is prepared.

Heat source

Boiler and heat pump options for underfloor heating

Tell us whether the heating will be supplied by a gas or oil boiler, an air source heat pump, a ground source heat pump or another source.

The heat source and intended flow temperature help determine suitable design assumptions.

What we need from you

  1. Floor plans: PDF or clearly dimensioned hand-drawn sketch.
  2. System type: screed, overlay, grooved chipboard or low-profile.
  3. Manifold position: mark it on the plan, or request advice.
  4. Heat source: boiler, heat pump or other.
  5. Floor details: construction, available build-up height and planned floor finish, if known.
  6. Project notes: areas not to be heated and any special requirements.
Important: The proposed layout and material estimate depend on the accuracy of the information supplied. Heat-loss calculations and further technical checks may be required to confirm system output, flow temperatures and final specifications. Illustrations are indicative, not installation drawings.
