Underfloor heating
 

Moving on from Deep Singh's thread re. types of tiles I thought I would get a more up to date review on underfloor heating. I have done a search and it has been a while since it was last discussed. I did notice that the Screwfix stuff wasn't highly regarded.
Whats everyones thoughts / suggestions ?

edit to clarify that I am talking of electrical mat, under tile heating.

I know ours isn't screwfix but its great in the bathroom!!

pg - i'm about to order some for home. i've been to a number of shows and read various articles on u/f heating and have concluded that i will be buying the bits from the floor warming company. there are loads of suppliers out there, but this was my personal choice.
i am heating 2 zones - zone 1 conservatory and kitchen zone 2 - hallway and ground floor wc. the idea is just to heat the tiles as we already have rads in all these areas. i will be tiling all of the above areas over the top of the mat.

will let you know when it's complete (if i remember!)

I was going to get underfloor heating in our new bathroom but decided against tiles so dropped the idea.
However for info pricing was around £160 to have this fitted on a 4 metre square floor, running cost quoted as 75p a week.

Ours is from heat-com, which is a Danish company. I have been very impressed with it, cost about £600 for a 6m x 4.5m kitchen. It is the only heat source and maintains a very comfortable 21ºC, never too hot or too cold.

The only caveat is that it is quite expensive to run, probably about £300 a year.

What is the world coming to? Some people need to toughen up. What a complete waste of energy.

:lol1:

Anyone else have any experience of electric mat type undefloor heating?....how effective will it be if put down travertine stone tiles?...

Ha what on earth are you talking about? Don't you have heating in your house?

Hi, I used Heat.com as well for my 6mtr x 4 mtr kitchen the mat style, Covered with travertine tiles.. excellent results, not cheap to run, but if you maintain an average temp i find the meter spins slower...

Try cover the whole of the cable when laying the tiles with the adhesive tho as this avoids certain areas of the cable over heating.....! I hope this helps.
