A client was installing some new shepherds’ huts at a holiday complex. Equipped with all mod cons including a private hot tub, these huts make idyllic holiday homes. They’re becoming an increasingly popular option for couples visiting Cornwall who are looking for something a little bit different.

This stunning, newly built 4-bedroom house overlooks the estuary, and is reverse level to make the most of the views. This is a popular house design in coastal Cornwall, ensuring that the living area has the best outlook. But how does this affect the heating system?

It’s always good to get a recommendation. These new clients in Somerset had heard about us from a friend, who had one of our systems installed 10 years ago. Based on their friend’s experience, they decided to ask us to quote for a system for their new extension.
Product: therM® app-controlled system
The client wanted to heat his ground floor using underfloor heating. The ground floor consisted of a large open plan area with full-height windows. We realised that we would need to design the system a little differently to accommodate these large
windows into the build.

Our customer opted to use a traditional single-pour screed method (also known as “insulation under slab”). This approach isn’t used very often these days, as there are now more efficient methods available. However, this didn’t stop us from designing and supplying the right system for their project and meeting our customer’s requirements.

Continental’s advisers always love a challenge, and this project certainly got them thinking... The customer was building a designer house overlooking the English Channel. He wanted to go for full glazing throughout on the south elevation of the building. This can bring up many issues due to high solar gain and high heat loss within the glazed areas, so he needed something that could manage both scenarios.

Keeping it simple is one of our core philosophies at Continental, and we’ll always strive to give the customer the easiest solution. Increasingly, customers are increasing their property footprint and extending their homes. This can cause potential issues with different floor constructions, which means a combination of underfloor heating installations.

It's not every day we come across unusual projects, but a Norwegian log cabin in Somerset was certainly one.
Our client wasn't sure whether underfloor heating was a viable option for his project. If it were possible, what would be his best options?
Product: AluPlas® with pipe decoiler
There are still tradesmen in the UK that haven't had much experience of installing underfloor (yet...). For this particular project, the installer hadn't fitted an underfloor heating system before, so he needed as much help and advice he could get.

Underfloor Heating has developed over the years, and in this time it has become even more effective and smarter. From having the latest energy efficient water pump, to thermostats that automatically turn on when you get within a set distance of your home, it's always evolving.

Continental has systems that suit all building types and floor constructions - so whatever the project specifies, we'll find a solution. In this case, the customer was unsure whether he could have underfloor heating throughout the property, as the first-floor deck was already installed.
Product: HeatMax™ small area pack
Our client for this conservatory build came to us with a short but clear brief. Underfloor heating had been an oversight, and they were due to lay the screed within a few days. "Can Continental deliver?" The answer was yes.
Products: EasyFix™ ClipTrack™, Pipe decoiler
Our client was working on a barn conversion with a large ground floor, which had a traditional floor make up. Speed and efficiency are always vital cogs in any renovation or new build. When you're trying to keep to a tight schedule and arrange for multiple trades to arrive on site, it can get very stressful.
Product: EasyFix™ ClipTrack™
The developer had initially been taken on because of their experience with natural swimming pools. The customer was pleased with the developer's professional approach and insistence on using only premium products, so extended the contract for work on the property as well as the pool.
Products: SUPERflex™, EasyFix™ AluPlate™
The client had previously renovated a customer's property in the UK, and had the opportunity to develop a holiday home in France. The gîte in Naillat would include a heat pump as a heat source and underfloor heating throughout. There was to be a new solid floor on the ground floor, with joist construction planned for the two upper floors. The project was a combination of existing and new build areas, so required a number of different install solutions.
Product: AluPlas®
The customer was doing an extensive kitchen and dining renovation which involved completely replacing the ground floor. Having recently purchased the property he was keen to complete the floors before any of the additional works. Not wanting to go to the expense of commissioning detailed architectural plans, he employed a pencil and a tape (and no ruler…) so that underfloor heating could be priced.

A unique opportunity came up for a different type of heating – installing a system on a contemporary houseboat. The builders had decided to use a heat pump for the heating system and needed a low temperature heat emitter to compliment it.
Product: SUPERflex™
The customer of this new build project in Surrey was very specific with his instructions. The heating system was to be underfloor in the kitchen and wet rooms, with radiators in the remainder of the ground floor. All materials installed in the property had to be of the highest specification.

“Should we move or improve?”
That’s the question many homeowners are asking themselves these days, and an increasing number of them are opting for home improvements as the cheaper option. Underfloor heating is a popular option – it gives their property an added wow factor and a slice of affordable luxury.
