RES underfloor heating systems are designed specifically with renewable energy based generators in mind. From small residential single room systems to complex commercial projects, RES underfloor heating covers the full range.
The RES underfloor heating UFH solution comprises:
Design
RES underfloor heating is a fully warranted product designed with guaranteed compatibility with the primary generator, whether a renewable energy source, such as a heat pump, or conventional boiler. This is especially important when using a heat pump, as the efficiency of the system is compromised if the heat emitter is not designed to match its output and operating parameters.
All RES underfloor heating systems are designed using BS EN 12831 standard heat loss calculations and in strict accordance with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme quality guidelines.
Technical Support
RES’s design team, working from the floor plans, produce detailed pipe layout drawings and full instructions covering all aspects of the RES underfloor heating solution. These ensure the installation remains straightforward, whatever the scale. Technical support at all stages of a project is a key reason why specifiers, contractors and end users continue to select RES underfloor heating.

STANDARD SCREED SOLUTIONThe most common and most energy efficient system laid in new build properties. The heating pipe is clipped via staples or using a clip rail system to the insulation board to hold the pipe in place whilst the screed is either poured or laid on top. Suitability: Specifications:

PROFIX PANELThe high structural integrity of the Profix Panel enables the direct application of a highly thermally conductive screed which, in addition to a fast reaction time allows either a tiled, vinyl or thin laminate floor to be bonded directly to it or for a low tog carpet and underlay to be laid directly onto it. Suitability: Specifications:

MANIFOLD SYSTEMSLow temperature heat pump systems normally have a circulating pump integral to the system suitable for supporting the underfloor heating system without the need for additional pumps. High temperature systems require a pump and blending valve. |

ALPERT MLCP BARRIERMulti-layer pipe for heating systems only – made from a 5-layer composite material using PE-RT as the inner and outer layers coupled with a 0.2mm thick aluminium core. This multi-layer pipe can run straight from a distribution manifold to an outlet point in one continuous length, without joints and reducing the chance of leaks. As multi-layer pipe has no memory, it doesn’t spring or resist when laying so it’s ideal for the one-person installation. Key Benefits:

PE-RT BARRIER PIPEThe RES 3-layer PE-RT is very flexible, even more so than traditional PE-X pipes. The pipe is a16mm x 1.8mm 3 layer barrier pipe constructed of a polyethylene raised temperature inner and an EVOH outer layer. Key Benefits:
