968m across 12 loops
The open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas were divided into manageable circuits for consistent coverage.

Morgan's End: Whole-Home UFH Across Two Floors
Uheat designed and supplied a complete water underfloor heating system for a five-bedroom new-build home in Suffolk.
Installed by Blake Gas Services, the two-storey design uses 1,756m of pipe and separate 12-port manifolds on each floor.

The brief
Primary heating without compromising the open-plan design
The five-bedroom home includes large shared living spaces downstairs and bedrooms, en-suites and walk-in wardrobes upstairs. Radiators would have restricted furniture layouts and interrupted the clean interior, while a single undivided heating zone would not have reflected how the rooms are used.
Uheat designed and supplied the pipe, manifolds, fixings, pumps and controls as one package. Blake Gas Services then installed the system from the coordinated layouts.
The design in numbers
Separate distribution for each floor
A manifold on each level reduced unnecessary connection routes and made zoning, balancing and handover easier to follow.
788m across 12 loops
Bedrooms, en-suites and wardrobes received their own planned circuits and room controls.
Two 12-port manifolds
Each floor has a clear distribution point while remaining part of one coordinated heating package.
The system choice
AD-RAIL gave the installer a clear, accurate layout
The in-screed rail system securely held each circuit at the designed spacing. That made it well suited to a new-build programme where the heating had to be tested and signed off before the floor was covered.
- Room-by-room CAD layouts and circuit schedules
- Independent zoning across living and sleeping areas
- One coordinated component package for both floors
- Floor finishes considered as part of the complete build-up

The installation photographs show how the circuits and manifolds were organised before screeding and final finishes.
The result
Invisible, zoned comfort throughout the home
The completed design supports flexible room layouts and an even source of warmth across both floors, without visible radiators dictating where furniture can go.
Even heat
Planned pipe coverage reduces cold areas across the large open-plan rooms.
Room-by-room control
Living areas, bedrooms and en-suites can be managed according to their own use.
Design freedom
The heating stays hidden beneath the finished floor, leaving walls and layouts clear.
