Underfloor heating advice

Given that we have suffered one of the worst winters for a long time and it may not be over yet, heating the home is uppermost in a lot of people’s minds. There is no shortage of heating devices that can be used, but one that is regarded as highly efficient is underfloor heating. Water underfloor heating is clean quick and very efficient and used with a properly installed thermostatic control, it is economical too.

Easy to install if you are contemplating laying a new kitchen or bathroom floor, or a laminate wooden floor to a living room or conservatory, efficient heat is yours at the click of a switch. With adequate floor insulation under tile heating cables and mats designed to 150w/m² will provide a full heating solution for most areas of the home. In certain circumstances a higher wattage of up to 200w/m² are recommended in conservatories for example. As a secondary heating arrangement to supplement other forms of heating, 100w/m² will provide sufficient output.
