HELP ME WORK OUT WHAT I NEED
Tile & Stone Floors
Wood & Laminate Floors
Vinyl & Karndean Type Floors
Vinyl and Karndean flooring can be safely used with underfloor heating. Vinyl heats up and cools down quite quickly. Vinyl floors are subject to a floor temperature restriction, usually 27°C, limiting the heat output.
Carpet Floors
WHAT FLOOR HEATING PRODUCT SHOULD I USE?
Here is our simple guide to making a decision
UNDER TILE OR STONE
Over a concrete sub-floor we would highly recommend the use of an insulation board. Wooden floors will somewhat insulate, however, an insulation board can greatly increase the efficiency of your system and cut your heating bills down.
You may also require some adhesive and leveling compound to stick your insulation/tiles down and finish off your floor.
UNDER VINYL
Over a concrete sub-floor we would highly recommend the use of an insulation board. Wooden floors will somewhat insulate. However, an insulation board can greatly increase the effeciency of your system and cut your heating bills down.
You will also require leveling compound at depth of 8-10mm.
UNDER WOOD OR LAMINATE
Reasons to use our insulation are three fold. Really the first one is that it provides a thermal barrier so the heating only travels upwards into your room. The second reason is that the cables from the mat can be buried into the insulation, this prevents any pimples you may see over time from the cable. And last but not least, it gives the floor a cushioned effect which feels right under the foot.
