50 / 50 Performance Benchmark for UFH
Compare our products with confidence using the new 50/50 performance benchmark.
Introducing the 50/50 Performance Benchmark for OMNIE. Easily compare how our products perform. Lower temperatures. Lower emissions. Lower costs.
Compare with Confidence
OMNIE has now introduced performance information on all our underfloor heating products. The information will provide you with total clarity on the efficiencies and heat outputs of our systems. This is particularly important as the UK makes the transition towards renewable heating technologies such as heat pumps that operate at lower water temperatures, so every kilowatt of energy has to count. We know that there is no one-size-fits-all solution – every home is different and this is reflected by our diverse UFH product range that covers all type of construction types. We want to help you make the right product choices for your project.
Performance and efficiency label
OMNIE’s UFH systems have been extensively tested and measured. We express this product performance data two simple indicators to allow easy comparison – this is called the 50/50 Performance Benchmark; 1. Heat Output at 50 degC Flow Water Temperature - This is a power rating, expressing what the heat output will be when the product is operating at a 50 degC flow water temperature in the UFH pipework. The higher, the more power that is available. 2. Flow Water Temperature at 50 W/m2 Heat Output - This is an efficiency rating, expressing the flow water temperature required to achieve a 50 W/m2 heat output. The lower, the more efficient the heat source will be.
Product Testing Information
Notes on testing
• Products have been independently tested. The outputs from pipe loops have been considered as well as straight sections.
• Outputs stated are based on a nominal 1 Tog floor finish, as if it were a carpet (a subfloor and support structure is required)
• Subfloor is insulated to the minimum stipulated by BS1264
• Figures stated at a room temperature of 20oC and with a water flow and return dT of 7oC
Notes on application
• The published data is only a benchmark and not a statement of performance for a given project.
• Outputs can vary depending on materials used in the construction, such as the floor deck, insulation, or floor finish.
• Outputs will change with room temperature, flow and return temperature.
• The heat loss of a building will vary dependent on a number of factors so may be higher or lower than 50 W/m2
