Underfloor Heating Systems for New Build Projects

Every new build has different structural and thermal requirements. For that reason, underfloor heating systems are specified based on floor construction, insulation levels, and build programme.

Screeded Tacker (Staple) System

Best for: Concrete slabs, extensions, large open-plan areas.
A high-efficiency wet underfloor heating system where pipes are stapled directly to insulation before being encapsulated in flowing screed. This is the most common system used in new builds due to its excellent heat output, durability, and compatibility with modern heating sources such as heat pumps.

Castellated Tray System

Best for: New builds requiring precise pipe spacing and fast installation
Pre-formed insulation trays securely hold heating pipes in place before screeding. This system allows for highly consistent pipe layouts and efficient installation, making it ideal for projects with tight programmes or detailed heat-loss calculations.

Between-Joists System (Suspended Floors)

Best for: Timber joist floors and upper levels
Designed for suspended timber floors, this system fits heating pipes between joists and uses a dry or thin screed build-up to bring the floor to finished level. It delivers effective heat distribution without excessive floor height increase.

Routed Chipboard System

Best for: New builds requiring a dry, low-profile floor build-up
Designed around pre-routed structural chipboard panels, this system allows heating pipes to sit within the floor structure itself. It removes the need for wet screed, reduces floor weight, and supports faster build schedules while maintaining responsive, even heat output.

FAQs Our CLients Ask Us

Most common questions we get from our clients that want underfloor heating and floor screed installed in a new build.

While it might cost slightly more to install underfloor heating, you save a lot on running costs in the long run compared to traditional heating systems like radiators. This is because they are more energy efficient and offer more sustainable heating by using up to 40% less energy than central heating from radiators.

The temperature at which you set the underfloor heating in your home will depend entirely on your preferences. However, we recommend setting it anywhere between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius for general comfort.

You should wait at least 7 days after screeding before turning on the heating at a low temperature. This allows the screed to cure properly and prevents cracking. The temperature can then be gradually increased over a few days.

Yes! Underfloor heating is an ideal match for heat pumps, as both systems operate at lower temperatures for maximum energy efficiency. This pairing can significantly reduce heating costs compared to traditional radiators.

We believe the best screeded floor for underfloor heating is cement. This is because it offers great thermal conductivity, allowing for efficient heat transfer from the pipes in the system to the floor surface.

In most cases, yes. Screeding ensures even heat distribution, protects the pipework, and provides a smooth, stable surface for flooring. Some systems, like floating floor solutions, don’t require screed, but traditional wet systems perform best with it.
