Snug Underfloor Heating quizzed almost 150 participants at InstallerSHOW last month to reveal the biggest challenge facing installers when it comes to underfloor heating (UFH).
Voted number one was ‘understanding which system is right for the project’, with installers expressing that many suppliers provide “too many options”, leaving them feeling overwhelmed when choosing the right UFH. This was particularly felt by those new to the industry.
Following that was ‘transferring the underfloor heating design to laying it out on the floor’, which was the challenge most felt by 28% of respondents.
The other challenges facing installers included slow turnaround of quotes from suppliers and changes to the project that weren’t detailed in the architect’s plans.
Steven Dunne, managing director at Snug Underfloor Heating, said: “Working closely with plumbers, electricians and builders and hearing their everyday challenges is such an important step in creating smart, straightforward and hassle-free products. At Snug, all our products and services have been guided by customer feedback, and that’s why we’re fast becoming the installer’s choice.
“We have a dedicated team of technical underfloor heating experts on hand to make sure installers get the most from their Snug system — which includes finding the right one for their project, creating a customised design, and supporting them through installation and beyond. Whatever your challenge, Snug has the solution.”
