Overlay Underfloor Heating – Warmth Without Major Renovations

Perfect for retrofits and renovations, our overlay panels allow underfloor heating to be fitted with minimal floor height build-up and no messy excavation.

What is an overlay system?

Overlay systems are slim boards that sit directly on top of your existing floor. Pipes are laid into pre-routed channels within the panels, then your chosen floor finish goes on top. With build-ups as low as 18mm, overlay is ideal when you can’t mill into concrete or don’t want the disruption of digging out floors.

When to use overlay:

  • Timber floors or surfaces not suitable for milling

  • Where minimal floor height build-up is required

  • Renovations where speed and low disruption are key

  • Upstairs floors / bathrooms

  • Properties where concrete milling is not an option

How Installation Works

Step one: Preparation

Floors are checked for level and cleaned.

Step two: Panel Laying

Slim overlay boards are fixed directly on top of your existing floor.

Step three: Pipe Installation

Heating pipes are pressed into the pre-cut channels.

Step four: Connections

Pipes connect back to a manifold and your heating system.

Step five: Floor Finishes

Tiles, engineered wood, carpet, or vinyl can be laid over the boards.

Step six: Commissioning

The system is pressure-tested and thermostats are installed.
