POLYPIPE BRINGS THE HEAT WITH NEW SMART
PLUS CONTROLS Polypipe, UK manufacturer of above and below ground drainage, plastic plumbing and underfloor heating (UFH) systems, have launched a new range of Smart Plus controls, designed specifically for use with their UFH systems.
Most systems available on the market have a complicated pairing system, with complex diagnostic tools. The new Smart Plus controls from Polypipe have ‘push button’ initial pairing for easy installation, a wiring centre which can house up to eight zones, and a screen for simple set up and diagnostics.
Suitable for use in all rooms, including kitchens and bathrooms, the controls are easily installed as an update to older systems. With full RF communication with the wiring centre, the controls are available in battery and mains powered variants, providing increased flexibility in new build houses and renovation projects.

As well as providing vast benefits to installers, such as quicker and easier installation, the new control systems have been designed with the end-user in mind, removing any concerns that homeowners may have. Users can choose anything from full TFT displays with touchscreen functionality to basic room sensors, making the system tailored to suit any budget or design. With a choice of five editable pre-set schedules or the option to create schedules from scratch, the system is designed to fit seamlessly around family life.
Available in a range of colours, including chrome, black, blue and purple, the new controls are sleek
and suit any interior aesthetic. When not in use, the unit screen displays a rolling selection of personal images, or a clock. The easy-to-use menus can also be pin protected, meaning only the designated password holders can change the room temperatures.
Andy Coy, Product Manager at Polypipe, said: “Having controls specifically designed to manage UFH allows users to make the most of the energy savings and controllability on offer. Using a UFH system and controls from the same manufacturer ensures homeowners have access to the best systems available.”

Damian Roscoe, head of creative, Wilton Carpets, commented: “Searching hundreds of archived designs can be a daunting task at the best of times, but under time-pressure it’s just scary, so we created the Design Hub to make it easy and save bags of time. Designers can search designs with numerous filters, quickly leaving themselves with a targeted result of designs that fit the brief.
“For the majority, one of these is likely to be perfect, but for those with a need for select colours, the Design Hub can help here too. Choosing from colours available through our Ready to Weave concept, getting the perfect look has never been easier and all without leaving your desk – it’s remarkable really.”
