AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATIVE DESIGN

Polytherm Heating Systems was formed in 1999 from the success of the underfloor heating division of its parent company, Hevac Ltd. Since then, Polytherm has continued to be at the forefront of underfloor heating design and innovation. For Polytherm staff, customer satisfaction is the primary goal. When the company receives plans from a homeowner, an installer, mechanical contractor, merchant, consultant engineer or architect, Polytherm’s design engineers and CAD technicians respond with an initial design and open a dialogue to determine what will best suit the project at hand.

Once the team knows these requirements, it produces mechanical and electrical drawings to match the final design. If

Key Factors for underfloor heating design

Polytherm’s Multilayer pipe is specifically manufactured for underfloor heating applications;

Polytherm’s engineers will select the correct manifold set-up for your heat source;

Polytherm’s engineers will design a solution based on the thermal resistance of the floor covering;

Polytherm’s underfloor heating takes advantage of radiated heat transfer so that lower, more comfortable room temperatures are utilized; assistance is required prior to installation, a site visit can be easily accommodated.

Polytherm’s underfloor heating system components are backed by the company’s guarantee, working together for ease of operation.

Polytherm engineers are also available over the phone, if technical support is required, or if a homeowner has any questions about their underfloor heating system. Once the system is installed, a commissioning engineer is available to call out to the project.

Energy saving

In today’s world, low energy housing is a must due to the building regulations and our commitments to reduce greenhouse gases moving toward the future. By the nature of its low running temperatures, underfloor heating is more efficient than traditional heating systems when used with a renewable heating source. Lower temperature is key to achieving high performance when used in conjunction with heat pumps and key to lower fuel bills. As a heat pump system only requires a low-flow temperature between 35°C and

45°C, Polytherm can exploit the higher efficiencies that heat pumps can achieve. Further savings can be achieved by using Polytherm controls. The company’s extensive range and knowledge of controls means that your home or place of business will always be at the temperature you desire. From dial thermostats to internetready smart controls, Polytherm has got the product for you. Its intelligent controllers learn the characteristics of your building, meaning no more cold floors in the morning, or high energy bills. In fact, using smart controls can save you up to 30% versus standard controls. For underfloor heating in retrofit buildings/ dwellings where floor-to-ceiling height may be an issue for traditional systems, Polytherm offers Heatrack – a low-profile panel system. This enables installation on joist floors and existing concrete floors, increasing the useable area within rooms by removing radiators from external walls.
