See What Our Customers Say About Our Work
A reliable wet underfloor heating system requires careful design, correct installation and proper commissioning.
We focus on clear communication, organised workmanship and thorough testing throughout every project.
Get Wet Underfloor Heating in 3 Simple Steps
We make the process straightforward, from assessing your property and designing the system to installation, testing and commissioning.
1. Tell us about your project
Tell us about the property, floor area, insulation, heat source and current stage of construction.
Plans, measurements and information about the floor build-up can help us understand the project and recommend the right next step.
2. We Design and Install the System
We plan the pipe layout, heating zones, manifold position and controls around the property’s requirements.
The system is then installed carefully and coordinated with the insulation, floor build-up and other construction work.
Professional Wet Underfloor Heating for Irish Properties
Wet underfloor heating, also called water-based or hydronic underfloor heating, circulates warm water through pipes installed beneath the floor.
The heat rises gently across the floor surface, helping to create a comfortable and evenly heated room.
Each room or area can be divided into a separate heating zone. These zones connect to a central manifold and can be controlled using individual thermostats.
Wet systems are commonly installed in new builds, extensions, complete renovations and larger properties. Low-profile options may also be considered for some existing homes where the available floor height is limited.
The correct design depends on the property’s heat loss, insulation, floor construction, room use, chosen flooring and heat source. We assess these details before recommending a system.
Comfortable and Efficient Heating Throughout Your Property
Wet underfloor heating distributes warmth across a large floor area, helping rooms feel comfortable without relying on high-temperature radiators.
Even Heat Distribution
The system heats across the usable floor area, reducing the hot and cold areas often experienced with individual radiators.
Lower Operating Temperatures
Wet underfloor heating can normally distribute heat using lower water temperatures than traditional radiator systems.
Individual Heating Zones
Separate thermostats allow different rooms or areas to follow their own heating schedules and temperatures.
More Usable Wall Space
Reducing the need for radiators creates more flexibility for furniture, storage and room layouts.
Suitable for Large Areas
Water-based systems are commonly used to heat complete floors, larger extensions and whole properties.
Heat Pump Compatibility
A correctly designed wet underfloor heating system can work effectively with a heat pump because both systems are suited to lower operating temperatures.
Wet or Electric Underfloor Heating?
Wet and electric underfloor heating provide warmth from beneath the floor, but they generally suit different types of project.
Wet underfloor heating is commonly chosen for complete homes, new builds, larger extensions and major renovations. It connects to a central heat source and is usually more practical for heating larger areas over longer periods.
Electric underfloor heating uses mats or cables powered directly by electricity. It is often selected for bathrooms, en-suites and individual room renovations because it can have a slimmer and simpler installation.
A wet system normally requires more planning. Pipework, insulation, floor build-up, manifolds and controls must all be coordinated with the wider heating and construction work.
We assess the project and explain which system is likely to be more practical for the property.

Why Choose Us
Wet Underfloor Heating Planned Around Your Property
A reliable water-based system depends on much more than installing pipes beneath the floor. The heat-loss requirements, pipe spacing, floor construction, heating zones, controls and water temperatures must all work together.
Complete System Planning
We consider the full heating system, from the heat source and manifold to the individual room thermostats.
Carefully Planned Pipe Layouts
The pipe layout and spacing are planned around the size, heat requirements and usable floor area of each room.
Boiler and Heat Pump Knowledge
We can plan wet underfloor heating for suitable boiler and heat pump systems, with the correct operating temperatures considered during the design.
Installation Testing
The pipework is pressure-tested at the appropriate stages to check the system before it is covered by screed or flooring.
Commissioning and Balancing
We set and check the individual heating zones so that water flows correctly through the system.
Local service coverage
We provide wet underfloor heating services throughout Dublin and across the surrounding Leinster counties.
Plan Your Wet Underfloor Heating Before the Floor Is Built
Wet underfloor heating should be considered early in a new build, extension or renovation.
The system must be coordinated with the insulation, finished floor height, screed, heating controls and final flooring. The position of the manifold and thermostats should also be agreed before other work makes installation more difficult.
Planning early helps avoid problems with floor levels, pipe layouts and connections to the wider heating system.
If you already have architectural drawings, room measurements, floor specifications or heat-loss calculations, send them to our team. We can review the information and explain the next step.
Not Sure If Wet Underfloor Heating Is Right for Your Property?
Tell us about your property, floor construction, heat source and current project stage. We will help you understand whether a traditional screeded, low-profile or alternative underfloor heating system may be suitable.

faqs
What is wet underfloor heating?
Wet underfloor heating circulates warm water through pipes installed beneath the floor. The floor then distributes heat gently across the room. The system connects to a boiler, heat pump or another suitable heat source.
Is wet underfloor heating suitable for an existing home?
Yes, but suitability depends on the existing floor, insulation and available floor height. Low-profile systems may be an option for some renovations where a traditional screeded installation is not practical.
Can wet underfloor heating work with a heat pump?
Yes. Wet underfloor heating can work effectively with a heat pump because it can be designed to distribute heat using relatively low water temperatures. The system must still be designed around the property’s calculated heat loss.
How long does wet underfloor heating take to warm up?
Warm-up time depends on the floor construction, insulation, screed depth, water temperature and floor covering. A thick screeded floor generally responds more slowly but can retain heat for longer. Low-profile systems may respond more quickly.
How much does wet underfloor heating cost?
The cost depends on the heated floor area, floor construction, number of heating zones, controls, heat source and preparation required. We provide quotations based on the actual property and project requirements.
