Why Underfloor Heating Installers Are Essential for Custom Homes

A custom-built home is your dream space—so why settle for cookie-cutter heating? Underfloor heating (UFH) installers play a crucial role in ensuring your heating system matches your home’s unique design and layout.
Why UFH Is Ideal for Custom Homes
- Works with open-plan designs
- Integrates easily with smart controls and renewables
- Eliminates need for bulky radiators
- Allows complete zoning by room or use
What Installers Do in Custom Builds
- Collaborate with architects and M&E consultants
- Help specify insulation and floor build-up
- Design complex multi-zone systems
- Ensure systems meet SAP and EPC requirements
- Future-proof heating with smart tech integration


When to Involve the Installer
- At the design stage, not post-build
- Before finalising floor levels and finishes
- Before plumbing and electrical 1st fix
