Design

"The basis of any good heating system is accurate design work."

This statement is particularly relevant to underfloor heating due to the difficulty in correcting mistakes once it has been installed. This is why all Optimum’s specifications and quotations are based on accurate room by room heat loss calculations. All design work is indemnified and guaranteed without limit of time giving the customer complete peace of mind.

Optimum will request a significant amount of information at the quotation stage; this enables us to provide you with the most accurate specification and price and also allows you to accurately size the required heat source(s).

Every project is tailored to your own specific requirements and we will always pass on our knowledge and recommendations thus allowing you to make a fully informed decision.

Below is an example of a typical Optimum CAD pipe layout drawing that is produced and supplied with every project. It shows exactly how all the individual circuits of pipe are fitted along with a host of other important information for all trades involved.

Every project also receives a detailed plant and wiring schematic. An example of which is shown below. This particular diagram shows the iCon system controlling underfloor heating, DHW, radiators and a conventional boiler. More typical systems can be seen here.
