Underfloor Heating HQ is launching the ufh#one Heating range, designed to simplify installation, stocking, and sales by replacing traditional electric mat systems and cables.
In the ever-accelerating pulse of the modern marketplace, it is imperative to consider not only what we make, the company says, but why and how we make it. Underfloor heating initially utilised wire systems before evolving into fixed mat configurations available in 100, 150, 160, or 200 watt per square metre outputs. Maintaining stock inventory for retailers or installers represented a significant commitment as there were so many products.
Underfloor Heating HQ asked itself: what strategies could we implement to streamline the concept, minimise SKUs, promote adequate stock levels, and maintain cost efficiency against contemporary mat systems?
Collaborating with engineers, the company produced the concept of the ufh#one (one system fits all) system.
It collaborated with its decoupling membrane supplier to determine the wattage per linear metre needed to achieve 200, 150, and 110 watts per sqm of heating, using the same wire at various stud spacings. The decoupling mat stabilises the floor, secures the heating wires and acts as a carrier creating the perfect underfloor heating product, says the company. With two studs, you get 200 watts per sqm; with three, 150 watts; and with four, 110 watts. The company’s 9 SKUs cover all requirements. If the area is greater, use two kits with the same wattage per square metre.
It’s designed to be easy for retailers and installers to understand, just use the sizing table to select the correct cable for your power and area needs. Then, buy enough carrier mat for the floor and choose one of Underfloor Heating HQ’s Wi-Fi thermostats.
Looking forward: Products with purpose
In addition to launching a new range of heating products, Underfloor Heating HQ has updated its selection of thermostats. Most thermostats now offer Wi-Fi and app control to satisfy demand for wireless solutions. The range includes a manual on/off thermostat as well as models from an economical Wi-Fi touch screen option to a 4-inch tempered glass HQ Smart stat.

Looking forward, retailers using ufh#one will have a significant advantage, the company says. Generous discounts are available on an already competitively priced range, and the new products reportedly occupy less space compared to conventional mats. The 15sqm decoupling matting rolls are said to be easily cut to size. These products will be available from Underfloor Heating HQ’s retailers.
