Instantor, market-leaders in press solutions, has announced the appointment of a dedicated Product Manager to support the launch of its new underfloor heating range. The company, which is celebrating its 100th year in business in 2026, unveiled its underfloor heating portfolio at InstallerSHOW 2026 in Birmingham.
Jim Stafford has joined Instantor as Product Manager – Underfloor Heating and brings with him almost 25 years of industry expertise, having previously held roles in plumbing and heating installation, sales, technical and design.
With a century of expertise, Instantor has harnessed its knowledge of pipe, fittings and pumps to develop the underfloor heating range comprising of seven systems that cover every application, from screed, suspended and solid floor installations to overlay and retrofit applications. The range includes pipe, manifolds, pumps, controls and accessories.

This will deliver detailed, installation-ready design drawings to customer specifications, together with fully compliant heat loss calculations. The service is also professionally indemnified for complete peace of mind.
Alan Hogan, Divisional Managing Director at Instantor explains: “Instantor developed and patented the first brass compression fitting in 1926 and has been providing the industry with high quality plumbing and heating innovations ever since. We have extensive expertise in pipe, fittings, water movement and associated products and have brought all of this together in our new underfloor heating collection. We’re delighted to welcome Jim to the team, and to have launched the range at InstallerSHOW, and are looking forward to discussing opportunities with customers in the coming months.”
Jim Stafford adds: “Instantor is a recognised market-leader in press solutions. The same quality, reliability and durability that runs through every Instantor product has been applied to our new underfloor heating range. We’ve also designed the range with the installer firmly in mind, to offer straightforward, reliable and easy-to-fit solutions underpinned by exceptional service and support. I’m very much looking forward to helping establish the underfloor heating portfolio in the marketplace and enhancing the range further with additional innovations.”
