Designing the Most Efficient Underfloor Heating Systems with LoopCAD
At Hydaheat, we believe an underfloor heating system should be more than just warm floors – it should be efficient, reliable, and properly tailored to the space it serves. That’s why every project begins with a detailed design process using our LoopCAD system. It lets us create precise pipe layouts, maximise heat output, and ensure the installation performs exactly as it should.
From Your Scaled Layout to a Full, Accurate Design
All we need to get started is a scaled floor plan from you. From there, our CAD designer – who is also a time-served underfloor heating engineer – builds your system in LoopCAD. Because they’ve spent years installing and troubleshooting real systems, they understand the practical side of underfloor heating as well as the technical one. This means potential pitfalls are spotted early, and the design reflects what actually works on site, not just what looks good on paper.
With an experienced engineer behind the design, your pipe runs are balanced, your manifold positions make sense, and the system is planned with real-world installation in mind.
Creating the Most Efficient Pipe Runs
Using LoopCAD, we can optimise every metre of pipework. The layout we produce shows:
- Ideal pipe spacing for each room
- Correct circuit lengths for even heat distribution
- Efficient routing to avoid unnecessary bends or pressure drops
- Clear zoning for smart control and easier installation
This level of detail is difficult to achieve with generic layouts or guesswork. The end result is a system that heats evenly, runs efficiently, and is simple to install.
Advice on the Right System for Your Build
Every property is different, and underfloor heating needs to be tailored accordingly. As part of our design and quotation service, we’ll advise on:
- The most suitable manifold location(s)
- Pipe type, spacing, and circuit layouts
- Expected heat outputs for each room
- Suitable flow temperatures
- Floor build-up options and insulation requirements
Because the person designing your system has hands-on installation experience, the advice you receive is practical, honest, and based on real-world performance.
A Full Quote Alongside Your Pipe Layout
Once the design is complete, we’ll provide a clear and accurate quote for everything needed to install the system properly – from pipework and manifolds to fittings, controls, and accessories.
And because the quote is based directly on the LoopCAD design, you can trust the quantities and costs to be correct from the outset.
