Padjoe Barry, National Sales Manager, commented, “Building a house can be quite daunting. Within that, the heating system chosen for a home is one of the most important investment decisions a homeowner will make.

The heating system you choose and the supplier you choose to provide it are decisions that will impact you for decades.”

As Underfloor Heating is now the most common method of heating homes in Ireland today, it is important to note that the most critical component of an underfloor heating system is the pipework that will be buried in the concrete floor of your home. Once installed, this pipework will be encased and inaccessible for the lifetime of your home. Any problems associated with this pipework would entail the floor of your home being dug up, causing massive disruption.

It is critical that all components used, but especially the pipework, are top quality and fully backed by reputable manufacturers. Pipelife is the only supplier that manufactures its own specialised underfloor heating pipe in Ireland. We offer our Guaranteed Irish Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’ Multilayer Pipe with a 50-year guarantee!
