Underfloor Heating with Polypipe
GOLD MEDAL HEATING FOR OLYMPIC CHAMPION
When Great British athlete and track legend Sally Gunnell wanted to bring her home up to an Olympic standard, she chose to work with Ryan Faint of FMS Contractors and Polypipe to install underfloor heating across the property. We’ve got their tips for a successful collaboration.

TIP 3
CONSIDER THE END-USER EXPERIENCE
Ryan worked with Sally to discuss the project requirements to find the products that would offer the best fit. They chose Polypipe’s Overlay Plus® system as it provided the most efficient heat output with minimal disruption to the overall renovation project during installation.
The underfloor heating system is also efficient and unobtrusive, so was the ideal long-term solution.
Sally said: “We chose Polypipe because we wanted something that was reliable and longstanding as we plan to be in this house for the next 2030 years.”
Ryan Faint, who completed the installation, said:
“Polypipe Underfloor Heating is easy to use, well-designed and is a recognised, premium brand ideal for both new-build and refurb projects.” Ryan installed the Overlay Plus® directly over the existing solid floor. The light-in-weight boards can cover large floor spaces and can be easily cut to shape with a blade – meaning they are quick to install without need for specialist or heavy-duty tools.
The boards have a dense insulation core and an aluminium lining which increases the product’s heat output and, at only 18mm thick, they add minimal height to the finished floor. To complete the installation, the Gunnell’s chose to pair their Overlay Plus® system with Polypipe’s Smart Controls which include geolocation capability. This allows the family to choose and set their preferred temperature for each room in the house in time for them to arrive home.
Sally added: “Having underfloor heating will really change the whole outlook of the house, it’s made it more modern than it ever was.”
