Why underfloor heating?

Floor Heating Systems are ideal room specific heat source options for both new construction or renovation projects. These easy-to install systems are available for a range of floor surfaces, including tile, stone, concrete, carpet and laminate/engineered wood floors.

Underfloor heating is suited for any room in your house, providing comfort wherever you are. 

At a glance here are some pros: 
(+) Energy Efficient Heating (+) Effortless to Run (+) More Space & Design Freedom (+) Works with all floor coverings (+) Safety and Comfort (+) Easy Installation (+) Superior comfort experience

1. Energy Efficient
It distributes heat evenly and consistently around each room.
Less wastage – your floors will stay warm even if the windows are open or the room is very draughty.

2. Effortless to Run
Offering more than just on and off (manually or via timer) operation, the programmable models are designed to adjust the temperature according to a series of programmed settings that take effect at different times of the day.

3. Works with all floor coverings
Underfloor heating works with all floor coverings: natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, laminate, vinyl and engineered timber flooring, solid timber, timber veneer and carpet are all suitable for underfloor heating. 

4. Safety and Comfort
Underfloor heating is silent and allergy friendly. It produces a gentle even heat that eliminates any cold spots in the room. 

5. Easy installation
Underfloor heating is easy to install, especially if you make it part of a build or renovation project. 
For example, the FHK mat design offers reduced installation times and does not require special tools or skills to plan cable spacing or layouts. This can be installed as a DIY project as it is simple to lay
down with the electric wire being all pre-spaced and readily attached to the mesh, ready to be rolled out in place.
