Capitalising on growing market demand

The global underfloor heating market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 5% over the next five years, driven by a number of factors including increasing legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions. IMI Hydronic Engineering’s product portfolio includes a range of products that control underfloor heating systems, including manifolds which incorporate the division’s Automatic Flow Control (‘AFC’) technology. This unique AFC technology ensures that the correct flow rates of water are delivered to each room thereby ensuring precise temperature control. In the last 12 months the division has won a number of significant contracts to supply its underfloor heating products and technology to both new build and refurbishment projects across Europe. In particular a number of municipal and social housing authorities across central Europe, including Austria & Germany, have installed IMI Hydronic Engineering’s AFC technology solution to help save energy across their building stock.
