Does underfloor heating work with carpets? That is one of the most common questions plumbers and builders are asked (along with "which carpet is best for underfloor heating") and we are then asked, by people that want the luxury and efficiency of a warm water underfloor heating system.

At the heart of any underfloor heating system is the pipe. It acts like human arteries; without them the system would fail. Unfortunately, we don’t have the option to decide the quality of our arteries, but here at Continal Underfloor we do provide you with a choice of pipe to best suit the underfloor system you’re fitting.
Sometimes - well, very occasionally - we can all admit our faults, and as men we’re not great with instructions. The thought of reading them, and actually needing them, can seem a little far-fetched. So, whether it’s a wardrobe from IKEA or something rather more complicated, the instructions are likely to stay buried in the box or crumpled on the floor (along with those few spare bits of dowel we always seem to have left over).

Designed for installation between joists, our AluPlate™ fit-from-above are flexible enough to be able to be installed between battens over joist. While this does mean there is a slight increase in the height of the floor, it is only minimal. Between joists however, there is no change in floor height whatsoever.
