Polyplumb's 'Overlay' gives Conservatory a warm glow

A large detached house in Sheffield had been extended by the addition of a 40 square metre conservatory with a solid concrete floor covered with large slate tiles. The householder decided to heat the conservatory by the addition of central heating system. With dwarf brick walls to the conservatory’s exterior an underfloor system was clearly the most effective heating medium but the major disruption of laying conventional ufh into an existing solid floor was clearly undesirable and since the house was already heated by a standard ‘wet’ radiator system the new Polyplumb Overlay System proved to be the answer. With a depth of only 18mm it can be laid directly onto an existing floor or new floor without causing obstruction, installation is extremely quick and it can be simply connected to a conventional radiator heating system by use of a Zonal Regulation Unit [ZRU]. The ZRU is compact, inconspicuous
and wall-mounted, converting the water in the existing system to a temperature and flow rate suitable for Overlay. For the job in Sheffield, the proof of the pudding was in the eating. The large slate tiles were lifted, the new ufch installed, the slate tiles replaced and the heating system on within two days. The householder and his family were delighted and appreciated the new warm atmosphere in the conservatory.

Bespoke Underfloor Heating, who installed the system were equally pleased for Overlay is simplicity itself to install. After laying a damp-proof membrane over the concrete floor and installing the high load bearing 0.48sq.m. grooved floor panels on top, they had only to ‘walk-in’ the12mm. polybutylene pipe from a large coil into the grooves, connect to the ZRU and their work was done. The floor panels were easily sawn to shape and the flexibility of the pipe made the whole job ‘installer-friendly’. Polyplumb’s declared aim to keep both end-user and fitter happy was clearly accomplished.
