Low Profile Underfloor Heating

What is Low Profile Underfloor Heating?

Low Profile Underfloor heating is an efficient alternative heating system to traditional radiators, saving space and money. It doesn't need to be part of a new build project and it doesn't need to be an expensive disruptive excavation project. With advances in technology and materials low profile underfloor heating is quick and easy to install with minimal impact.  

Uponor Minitec Underfloor Heating Kit

Uponor Minitec underfloor heating kits feature a compact design and bring comfort to your home. Unlike many other renovation systems, it can be used with all types of floor covering. As with all renovation properties, obstacles in the floor are often an issue for underfloor heating. Unlike other renovation systems, Minitec can easily be customised to fit around obstacles. Overall, this leads to faster installation time. Minitec offers the lowest total build height of any wet UFH system on the market. This feature makes it perfect for renovation projects.

What makes Uponor Minitec so special?

As the heat profile on the Minitec system is minimal, the overall reaction time is faster and in some cases, the heating can even be up to 60% quicker than other UFH systems. As the pipe is right below the top floor layer, heat-up times are shorter and Uponor Minitec can be operated at low heat water temperatures. Therefore, it is ideal for heat pumps and the use of renewable energy.

Within minutes the floor surface will start to feel warm. Once the Minitec system has been installed, there is no need to add any form of overboarding, meaning the installer can simply lay the desired floor finish straight on top of the dry surface – easy!

The Minitec System is 4% more efficient than standard UFH systems. This results in a saving of 62 kWh per year! Minitec offers the lowest total build height of any wet UFH system on the market. This feature makes it perfect for renovation projects. Once one of the approved levelling compounds has been applied, you only have to wait 3 hours before you are able to walk on the floor again. After just 3 days the floor heating can be brought up to temperature. This gives a massive advantage over other traditional screed UFH systems.
