Installing your system
Specifications
We offer a full installation service if required. A comprehensive installation guide is provided with our mats. Copies are available on request.
Will it help to have insulation below the heating mat?
Insulation will make the property more thermally efficient and the heating more effective. Tile backer insulation boards are available in thicknesses of as little as 10mm, which are ideal for floor insulation.
What are the running costs?
Basically, a kilowatt of electricity (1000 watts) costs about 7p per hour at peak rate (consult your electricity board for accurate prices).
Our underfloor heating mats are rated between 160 watts and 200 watts per square metre. Detailed below are calculations based on the worst case scenario, the floor having a concrete

subfloor without insulation (with insulation or tile backer boards running costs can be cut by as much as 50%).
•1m2 of 160w costs approx. 1.12 pence/hour
•1m2 of 200w costs approx. 1.40 pence/hour
The programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature of the floor for comfort and economy. The heating can also be programmed to switch on or off so the floor is warm just when you need it!
What happens if the system goes wrong?
Once the underfloor heating is installed and the floor covering is laid on top, the heating mat will not malfunction and is covered by our 10 year guarantee. If the fault is diagnosed once the floor is down, it can be traced down to beneath 1 or 2 tiles. We have never had to take up a complete floor.
