What type of UFH pipe is best for underfloor heating?

Polybutylene, Pex and Pert-Al-Pert multilayer are three of the most widely used types of UFH pipework. Our range includes two types of pipe.

Pex Pipe
Cost-effective, robust pipe that’s highly effective at transmitting heat. Ideal for use in traditional screed floors and retrofit systems. Pex Pipe is a triple-layered barrier pipe made from plastic with an oxygen barrier (EVOH) layer as well as a layer of adhesive.

Pert-Al-Pert Pipe
Our most popular multilayer composite pipe with an aluminium core. The aluminium lining gives the pipe a memory once this pipe is formed into a shape, it will retain the shape making for a straightforward install.

FAQs

Can underfloor heating pipes burst?
A leak or rupture in an underfloor heating pipe is highly unlikely, especially when quality pipes are used and the system is installed correctly. System damage may occur if the underfloor heating pipe is cut or damaged during the installation process. This is why our range of UFH pipes is made from robust, durable materials that are easy to install.

What size pipe is best for underfloor heating?
We recommend using pipes with a diameter of 10, 15 or 16mm for underfloor heating. Each size offers a level of flexibility which speeds up the installation process.

How long do underfloor heating pipes last?
Underfloor heating pipes have a projected lifespan of 50 years, but many will last for 100 years or longer. In comparison to the average lifespan of a radiator, which is between 8 and 12 years, underfloor heating is much more economical.

Can you connect underfloor heating pipes to radiators?
It is entirely possible to install underfloor heating alongside an existing radiator system. This is a great option if you don’t want to replace the whole system in your home. How it is controlled will depend on the type of system you install, however, many flexible UFH systems on offer allow for hybrid UFH and radiator systems. All of our hardwired thermostats can replace your existing central heating controls. This allows you to program any radiators you have with our thermostats, if you prefer to control your heating wirelessly, you can use the Neo Stats and Neo Hub.
