Our Range
Electric underfloor heating is becoming an increasingly popular choice for home heating, and there are a wide range of options available to suit different needs and budgets. Here are some of the most common types of electric floor heating:
- Cable systems: These systems use a network of cables to heat the floor. The cables can be installed in a variety of ways, including as loose cables, mats or in pre-formed boards. This type of ufh is suitable for most floor coverings, including tiles, laminate, and carpet.
- Underfloor heating mat systems: These systems consist of pre-made mats with heating elements embedded inside. The mats are available in various sizes and can be cut to fit the shape of your room. This type of floor heating is ideal for larger rooms, as it can be installed quickly and easily.
- Foil systems: These systems consist of a thin layer of foil with heating elements sandwiched between layers. The foil is installed directly onto the subfloor and covered with a layer of insulation, before the final flooring is laid on top. Foil systems are an efficient and cost-effective option for heating smaller rooms.
When choosing an electric ufh system, it's important to consider factors such as the size of the room, the type of flooring you have, and your budget. It's also important to have the system installed by a qualified electrician to ensure it is safe and effective. Don't forget about insulation boards and thermostats to get the best out of your system.

Electric Underfloor Heating Mats
Our electric heating mats are the top choice for home heating systems due to their user-friendly nature and efficient radiant heat. Our products have been specifically designed for easy and quick installation, providing an even heat distribution across your floors. We offer 3 different power outputs (100W, 150W, and 200W) with each rating serving a different installation purpose. Underfloor heating mats are a great fit for living rooms and kitchens and can be used with various flooring types like tile and vinyl. The heating element can be easily adjusted to meet your heating requirements at any time. Our products also offer great warranties and have received outstanding customer reviews.
Heating Foils
The foils from our Harmoni product line are versatile and can be utilised for various installations, such as under carpet, laminate, and vinyl floors. This system is incredibly thin and is often utilised to warm hardwood and carpeted areas without significantly adding to floor height. Despite emitting low levels of EMF radiation, our product adheres to all electric and building regulations and is entirely safe to use. Our product range accommodates areas between 1 m² to 24 m². If your room exceeds 24 m², combining multiple sizes is a viable solution to cover a larger area.

Loose Lay Cables
Our loose lay cables are an ideal heating solution for small or irregular spaces. Due to their high flexibility, they can be installed in the tightest and most awkward areas, making them perfect for projects that require precise installation. These heating cables can be spread evenly across the space, allowing for uniform heat distribution.

In-screed Cables
Our in-screed cables provide a comfortable and cost-effective heating solution that is commonly used in new construction and house extensions. These cables require installation under 50 mm of sand and cement screed, which is easier to achieve in new homes than on existing floors. Once installed, they are completely invisible and provide sufficient heating for thick tiles and flagstones.

Insulation Boards
Proper insulation is crucial for efficient heating, as much of the generated heat can be lost without it. Before installing your heating system, ensure that your floor is fully insulated with our range of insulation boards designed for underfloor heating. These boards resist moisture and add extra thermal insulation, reducing moisture content in your flooring. We also offer tile adhesive and self levelling compound.

Frequently asked questions
How does an electric underfloor heating mat work?
Electric underfloor heating mats work by utilising a network of electrical wires embedded within a flexible mat. These mats are typically installed beneath the flooring material, such as tile, laminate, or wood, during the construction or renovation of a room. Here's how they work:
- Electrical Wires: The heating mats consist of a series of electrical wires, usually made of materials like copper or nickel-chromium alloy, which have high electrical resistance. These wires are woven or attached to a thin, flexible backing material, forming a mat-like structure.
- Thermal Conductivity: When electricity is supplied to the wires, they generate heat due to electrical resistance. This heat is then transferred to the floor covering above through conduction.
- Heat Distribution: The heating mats are designed to evenly distribute heat across the entire surface area of the floor. This ensures consistent warmth throughout the room without any cold spots.
- Temperature Control: Electric underfloor heating systems typically come with a thermostat or control unit that allows users to adjust the temperature according to their preferences. The thermostat monitors the floor temperature and regulates the power supplied to the heating mats to maintain the desired level of warmth.
- Efficiency: Mats are generally efficient because they heat the room from the floor up, which reduces heat loss compared to traditional heating systems that warm the air. Additionally, because the heat is distributed evenly across the floor, lower overall temperatures can often be maintained, resulting in potential energy savings.
Overall, they provide a comfortable and efficient way to heat indoor spaces, offering warmth where it's needed most, without the need for bulky radiators or ductwork.
