Building standards

The Nu-Heat technical team is constantly looking at government legislation and the building regulations to find ways of assisting house builders to meet the criteria laid down. With this in mind, Nu-Heat Project Managers will be able to recommend a practical solution for any project that avoids disruption to either time schedules or budget.

The company has vast experience in the integration of both underfloor heating and renewable technologies into a wide range of building projects and works closely with BSRIA to ensure that all its floor constructions are fully tested to meet the expected standards.

Part L

Levels of insulation within a building are of key importance, as the better insulated the house, the more efficient and cost-effective to run the heating system will be. UK Building Regulations have progressively required higher insulation standards and it is easiest to achieve a high standard of insulation during building or major renovation work.

Part E

Nu-Heat underfloor heating systems integrate into all common floor constructions – screed, suspended timber or dry floating floors – and are continually being developed to ensure compatibility with all Building Regulations. For example, Nu-Heat has several floor heating system designs that can be incorporated into various Part E Robust Detail floor constructions without compromising the Robust Detail status read more.
