See What Our Customers Say About Our Services
Good underfloor heating begins with a design that reflects the actual property and how each space will be used.
We provide clear advice, practical system planning and detailed support from the early design stage through to installation and commissioning.
Plan Your Underfloor Heating in 3 Simple Steps
We make the design process straightforward, from reviewing your project information to preparing a suitable system plan and helping with the next stage.
1. Send Us Your Project Details
Tell us about the property, rooms, floor construction, insulation, planned flooring and heat source.
Architectural drawings, room measurements, heat-loss calculations and floor specifications can help us assess the project accurately.
2. We Review and Design the System
We assess the available information and plan the system around the building’s heating requirements.
Depending on the project, this may include pipe or cable layouts, heating zones, manifold positions, controls, circuit lengths and operating temperatures.
Professional Underfloor Heating Design for Irish Properties
An underfloor heating system should not be selected using floor area alone.
The property’s heat loss, insulation, glazing, floor construction, room use, final flooring and chosen heat source all affect how the system should be designed.
For wet underfloor heating, the design may need to cover pipe spacing, circuit lengths, water temperatures, flow rates, manifold locations and separate heating zones.
For electric underfloor heating, the heated area, required output, cable or mat layout, thermostat position, floor sensor and available electrical supply must be considered.
We bring these details together to create a system plan that is practical to install and suitable for the property.
Our consultancy service can support homeowners, builders, architects, developers and mechanical contractors at different stages of a project.
What Can an Underfloor Heating Design Include?
The exact scope depends on the system, property and current stage of the project.
System Type Recommendation
We assess whether electric or wet underfloor heating is likely to be more suitable for the floor area, property and intended use.
Heating Requirements
The system should be capable of meeting the calculated heating demand of each room without relying on unsuitable operating temperatures.
Pipe or Cable Layout
We plan the position and spacing of pipes, cables or heating mats around the usable heated floor area.
Heating Zones
Rooms can be separated into suitable zones so that different areas follow their own temperature settings and schedules.
Manifold Position
For wet systems, we help select a practical manifold location that supports suitable pipe routes and future access.
Thermostats and Controls
We plan how the heating zones will be controlled and where thermostats and floor sensors should be positioned.
Floor Construction
The design considers insulation, screed, suspended timber floors, low-profile systems and the proposed finished floor level.
Heat Source Integration
Wet systems can be planned around a compatible boiler, heat pump or other suitable heat source.
Choosing the Right Underfloor Heating System
Electric and wet underfloor heating can both provide comfortable floor-level heat, but they usually suit different projects.
Electric systems use heating mats or cables powered by electricity. They can be practical for bathrooms, kitchens, en-suites and individual rooms where a simple, low-profile installation is required.
Wet systems circulate warm water through pipes beneath the floor. They are commonly used for new homes, extensions, large renovations and complete properties.
A wet system normally requires more detailed coordination with the floor construction, manifold, controls and central heat source. An electric system may be simpler, but its output, electrical supply and likely running pattern still need to be assessed.
We compare the available options based on:
- Total heated floor area
- Required heat output
- Floor construction and available depth
- Insulation level
- Intended hours of use
- Final floor covering
- Existing or planned heat source
- Installation budget and long-term use

Why Choose Us
Underfloor Heating Designed Around the Property
A suitable design connects the floor heating, insulation, controls, floor covering and heat source as one complete system.
Electric and Wet System Knowledge
We investigate faults affecting both electric heating mats and cables and water-based pipe systems.
Project-Specific Planning
Our recommendations are based on the property, floor construction and heating requirements rather than a standard layout.
Complete System Approach
We consider the heat source, controls, heating zones and floor finish alongside the underfloor heating itself.
Domestic and Commercial Support
We work with homeowners, builders, architects, developers and other contractors on projects of different sizes.
Installation and Commissioning Knowledge
Our practical installation experience helps us identify designs that can be implemented and tested correctly on site.
Local service coverage
We provide underfloor heating consultancy throughout Dublin and across the surrounding Leinster counties.
Design the System Before Construction Reaches the Floor
Underfloor heating should be considered before floor levels, insulation, screed and final finishes are confirmed.
Late design changes can affect finished floor heights, door openings, stairs, kitchen units and connections between different rooms.
For wet systems, the manifold position and pipe routes should be agreed before the floor is covered. For electric systems, thermostat locations, floor sensors and electrical connections should be planned before tiling or flooring begins.
Early planning also gives the wider project team time to coordinate:
- Insulation and floor preparation
- Finished floor levels
- Heat-loss calculations
- Manifold and control locations
- Boiler or heat pump requirements
- Electrical connections
- Screed and flooring installation
- Testing and commissioning
If you already have plans or specifications, send them to our team. We can review the available information and explain what is needed next.

faqs
Why does underfloor heating need a professional design?
A professional design helps match the system to the heat requirements, floor construction and usable floor area of each room. It also coordinates the heating zones, controls, pipe or cable layout and heat source before installation begins.
What information is needed to design underfloor heating?
Useful information includes scaled floor plans, room-by-room heat-loss calculations, floor build-up details, insulation specifications, final floor coverings and the planned heat source. Fixed furniture and fittings should also be shown where possible.
Can you design underfloor heating to work with a heat pump?
Yes. Wet underfloor heating can be designed to work with a suitable heat pump. The system must account for the property’s heat loss, required water temperatures, pipe spacing, flow rates and floor covering.
Do you provide underfloor heating layout drawings?
Layout drawings can form part of the design service, depending on the agreed scope. These may show heating zones, pipe or cable positions, circuit arrangements, manifold locations and relevant installation details.
Can you review a design prepared by another company?
Yes. We can assess available drawings, calculations and product specifications and explain whether further information or changes may be required. An on-site assessment may also be recommended where important property details cannot be confirmed from the documents alone.
