Underfloor heating

What is underfloor heating?

At Wetrooms Design Ltd, our electric underfloor heating mats turn your bathroom floor into an effective and efficient invisible heat emitter. These electric underfloor heating mats can be used either as a primary heat source in a small shower room or simply to add a level of comfort when walking on the floor of a larger walk-in shower bathroom.
Our electric underfloor heating kits are designed as a low profile system to aid in minimal or restrictive build up space projects. This system will save time and money, because it requires less depth than traditional underfloor water pipe heating systems and is more convenient when it comes to installation due to the simplicity required to fit it in any shower room. With each underfloor heating kit, we provide a manual with simple straightforward step by step installation instructions to follow.
Regardless of the size or dimensions of your shower room, we have multiple electric underfloor mat sizes that can be tailor fitted on site to cover the required space in your wet room. Also, if you wish to extend your underfloor heating kit beyond just one room, multiple electric underfloor heating mats can be used in adjoining rooms and linked to a single thermostat if required. These underfloor heating kits add a luxurious feeling of warmth to your floors and have the added benefit of being an invisible heat source that saves on space.

We have a selection of thermostats to choose from that can be used with our underfloor heating kits. We have a WiFi thermostat that will allow you remote activation of your electric underfloor heating system and we also have traditional manual thermostats. Each of these thermostats comes with a sensor probe that when fitted will measure the heat from your underfloor heating system to regulate its temperature and allow the entire system to be as efficient as possible.

How do underfloor heating mats work?

Our electric underfloor heating mats are one of the most efficient forms of underfloor heating. When installed across the entire floor area, it will effectively spread heat evenly across the entire floor. This underfloor heating kit is an insulated electrical wire system that can be used not just in a shower room, but in any room that has a tile based floor, which makes it ideal for not just bathrooms, but also kitchens or any other floor tiled room. Underfloor heating mats are available in a wide range of sizes to suit even the most awkward spaces. Connecting straight to your electricity supply, the heat can then be controlled via a programmable thermostat that connects to your underfloor heating system. Our WiFi controlled thermostats can be added to this kit if desired and work by using a downloadable app that can be used remotely via your chosen device to set the timing and control of the temperature for your electric underfloor heating system.
Our electric underfloor heating mats work even more efficiently with our tile backer boards and also over our wet room shower trays. The XPS insulation properties of our backer boards and shower trays prevent heat from penetrating through them, so if our underfloor heating kit is laid over the surface of our shower tray and tile backer boards, there will be no heat loss below and all the heat produced will be fully felt across the entire floor and shower area in your wet room.
