Why Choose Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor heating is often a more efficient way of heating your house compared to traditional radiators. It provides uniform heat distribution and can be more energy-efficient, especially when paired with modern modulating thermostatic controls and flow regulators.

Biocides for Underfloor Heating Systems
Biocides are chemicals used in underfloor heating systems to prevent the growth of bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms that can thrive in the warm, moist environment of the system’s pipes and components. Over time, these microorganisms can form biofilms, leading to blockages, reduced efficiency, and even system failures.

Benefits of Using Biocides in Underfloor Heating:

Prevention of Biofilm Formation: Biocides inhibit the growth of bacteria and algae, preventing the formation of biofilms that can clog pipes and reduce the efficiency of your heating system.
Improved System Efficiency: By keeping the system clean and free of microbial growth, biocides help maintain the efficiency of your underfloor heating, ensuring consistent heat distribution and energy savings.
Extended System Lifespan: Regular use of biocides can extend the lifespan of your underfloor heating system by preventing corrosion and blockages that can lead to costly repairs or replacements.
Protection Against Corrosion: Some biocides also contain corrosion inhibitors that protect the metal components of your heating system from rust and degradation, further extending the life of the system.
Safe and Effective: Modern biocides are formulated to be safe for use in underfloor heating systems, providing effective microbial control without damaging the system’s materials.
Application: Biocides are typically added to the system during regular maintenance or when the system is first installed. It’s important to use the correct dosage and type of biocide recommended for your specific underfloor heating system.

Key Components of an Underfloor Heating Manifold:

Flow and Return Ports: The manifold consists of a series of flow and return ports for each heating circuit. The flow port delivers heated water to the circuit, while the return port brings cooler water back to be reheated.
Flow Meters: Many manifolds are equipped with flow meters, which allow you to monitor and adjust the flow rate of water to each circuit. This ensures even heating across all zones.
Thermostatic Blending Valve: This valve mixes hot water from the boiler with cooler return water from the system to maintain the correct temperature for the underfloor heating. This helps prevent overheating and ensures safe operation.
Actuator Heads: These are connected to the thermostats in each room or zone. The actuators control the opening and closing of valves on the manifold, allowing for precise temperature control in different areas of your home.
Pressure Gauge: The manifold often includes a pressure gauge to monitor the system’s pressure, helping to ensure it operates within safe limits.
Air Vent: An air vent is typically included to remove trapped air from the system, which can cause inefficiency and noise.
Drain and Fill Points: These points allow for easy filling, draining, and flushing of the system during installation, maintenance, or repairs.
Advantages of Underfloor Heating Manifolds:

Zoned Heating Control: The manifold allows for precise control of different zones in your home, ensuring each area can be heated to the desired temperature independently.
Even Heat Distribution: By managing the flow of water to each circuit, the manifold ensures consistent and even heat distribution across all zones.
Efficiency: Properly adjusted manifolds help maintain system efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lowering heating costs.
Ease of Maintenance: The manifold centralizes the control and management of the underfloor heating system, making it easier to service and maintain.
Installation and Maintenance: Installing and maintaining an underfloor heating manifold requires expertise to ensure it operates correctly and efficiently. Regular checks and adjustments are important to keep the system balanced and functioning at its best.
