Underfloor Heating
Retrofit Overlay Underfloor Heating
A low-profile wet underfloor heating system that installs over existing solid floors—no digging, no drilling, and just 15mm build-up (excluding tiles). Perfect for renovations, kitchens, and ground-floor refurbs.
How It Works
This system uses Uponor Minitec's 12mm pipe, set into pre-formed plastic panels that bond directly to the subfloor. The pipes sit within the panel's raised channels, and a levelling compound or tile adhesive is applied directly on top—ready for final floor finishes.
There's no need to remove the existing floor screed. The installation is dry, fast, and reliable. And at just 15mm before tiles, it keeps floor transitions smooth across rooms.
Why Choose Overlay?
- Minimal height gain - only 15mm
- Suitable for asphalt or concrete floors
- No need to chase into existing screed
- Can be tiled or levelled over
- Quick to install, especially in occupied homes
Ideal for renovation and retrofit projects, especially where the existing floor is asphalt and can't be chased out.
