Electric underfloor heating - the modern and cheap way to heat rooms
Underfloor heating is the modern way to heat your room, it is surprisingly efficient, your heated tiled floor gives an all over even heat. An average bathroom kit costs £165 (all items required) and uses less than 225w of electricity when on full - about 12p per day if used for 6 hrs a day (typically an hour or so in the morning and a few hours each evening suits most peoples lifestyles)
An intelligent electronic-programmable thermostat keeps the floor/room at the temperature you want when you want it.
Thermal insulation board can be used to reduce the cost further as it helps keep the heat in and stop it going too far down into the floor. This is the ideal solution to tiling over wooden floors too. Insulation board starts at £13.00 per sheet - 10mm thick.

The kits are supplied as mats not rolls of cable, the mats are so much easier to lay with wire pre-spaced and in place, self adhesive backing tape is also in place ready to adhere to the floor.
These kits are excellent with a heavy duty shielded cable and fully programmable digital controller. These should be fitted professionally and the book stamped by a qualified electrician to validate the warranty.
The prices are based on collection from us, delivery can be arranged for a small fee. All kits are tested for earth leakage prior to despatch. Make sure your unit is wired correctly as probes can be damaged if wired to the controllers power outlet by mistake.
