Single Room vs Multi Room Overlay Kits
The choice between a single room overlay underfloor heating kit and a multi room overlay underfloor heating kit depends on how many areas you want to heat and how you want to control them.
Single room overlay kits are designed for heating one area or zone over an existing subfloor. The pipe is installed within pre-routed overlay boards and controlled by a single thermostat, making this option suitable for individual spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, or open-plan rooms.
Multi room overlay kits are designed to serve multiple areas from a central manifold. These kits include a wiring centre and thermal actuators, allowing each room to be controlled as a separate heating zone. By installing a thermostat in each room, temperatures can be adjusted independently across the property.
Both systems use overlay boards with integrated insulation and heat diffusion layers to distribute heat evenly across the floor surface. The main difference is the number of zones and level of control, with multi room systems offering greater flexibility for larger or multi-area installations.
