Underfloor Heating System--Your Best Hidden Heating

Hidden heating

Electric underfloor heating is being applied increasingly in construction – from retrofit and refurbishment to new build projects. Systems can warm a single room or a whole building in settings as diverse as zoos, castles, hotels, apartments, houses, conservatories, driveways and even piers.

Underfloor heating offers flexible, energy efficient and space-saving solutions that are easy to install and require little if any maintenance.

Installation

A variety of options are available for installation under floor coverings – from tile and wood to carpet and vinyl.

Loose wire under-tile systems fit small, awkward spaces, heating mats are perfect for larger spaces and 6mm in-screed cables for cost-effective, ground-up installations.

Innovative ice and snow solutions are also available for frost protection and winter defence.

The desired level of knowledge stretches to the types of floor coverings under which electric underfloor heating can be laid, calculation of the area of heating cable needed and the likely energy consumption of the installation.

The most suitable type of system depends on such factors as:

– Size of the room.

– How well insulated the space is.

– Will the system supplement radiators or is it the sole heat source?

– Build height available.

– Floor covering type.

Electric underfloor heating is a robust, reliable alternative to more traditional forms of heating.
