GRANT AERONA³ R32 AIR TO WATER AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP AND UFLEX UNDERFLOOR HEATING IMPROVE EFFICIENCIES IN IRISH NEW BUILDS

Heating technology manufacturer Grant continues to lead the way in Ireland’s plumbing and heating industry with its highly efficient, reliable and innovative heating solutions. With high efficiency and sustainability as key factors in the design of today’s heating systems, Grant’s Uflex underfloor heating system is the heat emitter of choice, due to its ability to work well with sustainable main heat sources like the Grant Aerona³ R32 air source heat pump and its suitability for new builds and deep retrofits.

heat source like the A+++ Aerona³ R32 air source heat pump. This is because both systems can run at lower temperatures which enables substantial savings to be made on the property’s electricity bills.

The Grant Uflex underfloor heating system offers an efficient heating solution for a range of properties. A versatile heat emitter, the system works effectively with high and low temperature systems and is perfect for those who prefer a modern and minimalistic home decor look.

An ideal heating solution for both new build and deep retrofit properties, the pipework is positioned and clipped into place using Grant’s tracking and staple system once the flooring’s insulation and membrane has been fitted. After this, a flow screed is laid over the top and allowed to fully dry before heat is introduced. With a drying time of up to thirty days, Uflex can be fitted as part of the floor’s assembly process, therefore causing no delays in construction.

When choosing Uflex underfloor heating, Grant’s technical specialists design the system bespoke to each room in the property. The system has a stainless-steel manifold and also includes the supply of a self-adhesive edging strip which is located around the surrounds of the area in which the screed is laid. This strip also comes with a unique ‘skirt’ design which provides an overhang which curves alongside the wall. This edging strip contains and seals the screed and also serves to reduce heat loss where the floor meets the walls and allows for the expansion of the floor. As the system is designed for continuous operation with heat being supplied through the screed all day, this also means that the screed acts as a thermal store. All of Grant’s heating technologies have been designed to work together to ensure maximum efficiencies. The efficiency of the Uflex system is excelled when paired with a

The Grant Aerona³ R32 has an ErP rating of A+++ and a SCOP of up to 5:4:1. The range is available in outputs of 6kW, 10kW, 13kW and 17kW, with the 13kW and 17kW models recognised for their quiet operation by the internationally acclaimed Quiet Mark. All four models boast superior seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) and depending on climate conditions and demand on the heating system at the time, can deliver 4kW of heat energy for every 1kW of electricity used.

To ensure a fully integrated heating system, Grant offers those working on new build or retrofit properties a free of charge home heating design service. This service involves full room by room heat loss calculations, in line with SR:50 guidelines, on assessment of new build or retrofit house plans. This is followed by the specification of the main heat source best suited for the property and identification of appropriate supporting technologies including hot water storage and heat emitters. This home heating design service ensures that each home heating solution is bespoke to the property, bringing it into a new class of efficiency.
