IPPEC was established as far back as 1971. Experience was gained in supplying building products, and with it methods of construction. We introduced modern underfloor heating to the U.K. from continental Europe in 1986. After much research and substantial injection of capital, the complete systems of warm water underfloor heating were packaged under the registered trade name of PEXATHERM underfloor heating. The pipe fixed with staple to the insulation was unique in the UK market and it was not until at least 10 years later that others followed this method of installation.

Pexatherm individual room control and weather compensation temperature control were introduced at the outset as they formed an integral part of this up to date warm water underfloor heating system.

The training centre, the first of its kind in the UK for modern heating and plumbing systems, was completed in 1988. Advanced plastic plumbing was introduced at this stage. Distributing hot and cold water from manifold to outlets with a joint free pipe was a revolutionary step. The benefits of this advanced plumbing system are immense. Yet plumbers struggled to comprehend this new concept. However by 1994, and after the worst recession in the building industry, IPPEC systems made rapid inroad in several sectors of the market.

We were also instrumental in setting up UHMA (the Underfloor Heating Manufacturers' Association) which aims to safeguard the customer from substandard systems and uphold the international standards that have been established in countries where underfloor heating is commonplace.

Today our Pexatherm UFH stands for quality and value while IPPEC is known for its technical know how, service and for bringing genuine progress to our building industry.
