Underfloor heating experts Gaia are expecting to install even more underfloor heating in new build developments following the new Chancellor’s plans to ‘get Britain building again’ by building 1.5 million homes in England over the next fi ve years. With underfl oor heating already gaining ground in new builds, Gaia says these changes will inevitably create more opportunities for deployment. “With 1.5 million new build homes on the way, we’re predicting that even


more developers will choose to install underfl oor heating as the energy effi cient heating system for their projects – particularly as these homes will be built in adherence with recently changed Part L regulations and the upcoming Future Homes Standard,” says Steven Rooney, director of Gaia Underfl oor Heating. It is anticipated that next year’s implementation of the Future Homes


Standard, which states carbon emissions should be reduced to 75-80% than previously, will give the underfl oor heating market a further boost.
