The benefits of underfloor heating Underfloor heating is an efficient and luxurious method of providing warmth in a home. Heating from the floor improves comfort, there is no intrusion on wall or floor space and running costs are kept low.

How it works The OneZone™ manifold takes the water from the existing boiler/heating system, passing it through a control unit and then pumps it directly to the Fastflo™ underfloor heating tube. A programmable thermostat, either the neoAir or SmartStat, allows the temperature to be set in the room to ensure complete comfort.

A OneZone™ kit gives all of the benefits that warm water underfloor heating can offer:

✓ A quick and easy installation ✓ Gentle, radiant heat with low humidity

✓ Complete comfort – no stuffiness, draughts or cold spots

✓ Greater design freedom with no restrictions on placement of furniture

What Nu-Heat offers you Nu-Heat is the country’s most established specialised supplier of warm water underfloor heating. We have worked closely with homeowners, installers and developers to introduce W the benefits of underfloor heating to over 60,000 homes in the UK to date.

When you choose one of Nu-Heat’s OneZone™ systems you can expect:

✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

The very best system components Leading product warranties A tried-and-tested solution Clear, illustrated installation manuals Customer support for the lifetime of the system

FAQs Why should I choose a Nu-Heat OneZone™ kit?

A OneZone™ from Nu-Heat offers warm water underfloor heating for a single area without any compromise. It is unlike any other underfloor heating kit on the market. You receive the same standard of high quality components found in our fully designed systems, benefitting from long product warranties. Each kit also comes with detailed installation guides and the option to call our Technical Support Team, if required.

Which OneZone should I choose?

This depends on the project. If you are building a new extension, a Screed OneZone™ is an affordable option that is simple to install as part of the build. The Floating OneZone™ is a light-weight option for first floors that can also be used for retrofitting into existing properties with good levels of insulation that can tolerate some height build-up. Finally, LoPro™Max is the best solution for renovation projects where insulation levels may be difficult to improve or where there are large amounts of glazing, such as bi-fold doors. It offers a low total height build-up of 22mm and a high heat output to combat any heat losses.

What floor coverings can be used with a OneZone™?

Nu-Heat is always happy to advise on any aspect of floor coverings.

For more information visit the website at www.nu-heat.co.uk/ floorcoverings

A wide range of floor coverings can use used with a OneZone™ underfloor heating kit, from carpet to engineered wood.

Where carpets are chosen, we would recommend that the combined value of carpet and underlay does not exceed 2.5-tog, in order to maintain the efficiency of the UFH. A floor temperature limiting thermostat is supplied with LoPro™Max OneZone systems, to be used where sensitive floor coverings such as vinyl, linoleum and engineered timber, which have a maximum floor temperature of 27⁰C, are chosen.

Why should I choose a OneZone™ over electric underfloor heating?

Warm water underfloor heating may cost more upfront due to the amount of components, but it offers far lower running costs than an equivalent electric system. For this reason, a OneZone™ kit is a much better option for most single-room projects.

How does a OneZone underfloor heating system work?

A OneZone™ kit works in the same way as any underfloor heating system. It circulates warm water from a standard central heating boiler, through joint-less plastic tubing embedded in – or on top of –the floor. It is an efficient way to heat a space and provides an even, comfortable temperature.
