Types of Systems

When installing Underfloor Heating there are two types of systems to choose from, Electric Underfloor Heating and Water Underfloor Heating.

Both systems essentially do the same thing – they warm the floor evenly and heat the room. They have the capacity to be the primary heat source as long as the room is sufficiently insulated, and are a viable and energy efficient alternative to replacing inefficient radiator systems. Underfloor heating can also be much cheaper to run then radiators, and far more more environmentally friendly.

Compare both systems below to help you decide which is most suitable for you…

Electric Underfloor Heating

Cost-effective for Smaller Areas
Perfect for smaller spaces, electric underfloor heating proves to be a highly cost-effective solution. With 1m2 mats starting from around £50, this presents an affordable option for many homeowners.
Quick & Easy Installation
Electric Underfloor Heating is the most simplest installation process. Installations can be completed in less than 30 minutes. Lay the electric mat atop insulation, tile over it, and then have an electrician finalise the connection to your mains electricity.

Low Increase in Floor Height
Unlike water underfloor heating systems that may require significant adjustments to floor height, electric underfloor heating will only add a minimal increase, sometimes as little as 2mm, ensuring a seamless integration with your existing flooring.
Minimal Disruption Retrofitting
Retrofitting existing rooms could not be any easier with electric underfloor heating. There’s no need to break ground on the base floor beneath your existing floor covering with this solution, making it a convenient choice for renovations.
