Bathroom Underfloor Heating
What system do i need ?
Underfloor heating in bathrooms is now very common, it is no longer considered a luxury, more a necessity. Our full kits start from £69.99 inc vat & delivery, making them the lowest priced kits on the market in the UK.
No matter what size your bathroom or even shower room is, we have an underfloor heating system suited to you, the average available floor space in a normal sized UK bathroom is around 1.5 - 2m2. For most tiled bathroom floors our underfloor heating cables are ideal, they can be shaped around all santiryware, vanity units, toilets or sinks that are in position. For a primary heat source in the bathroom we would always recommend installing our tile backer boards first, secondly choose a suitable system that will cover your free floor space at around 150w per m2. (Dont forget to take of 10% of your available floor space, to save over-ordering as the systems cannot be shortened in any way.) This is the power output required to ensure you have a primary heat source, we dont reccomend using our 200w system on wooden floors.
For larger tiled floors in we reccomend using our underfloor heating mats, these make large installations quick and easy, the cables have been spaced out for you already on a fibreglass mesh, all you have to do is roll out the heating mat and stick it down with the double-sided adhesive tapes that are attached to the mat.
Wooden floors
For wooden floor coverings (laminate/engineered) floors, we recommend using our state-of-the-art Under Wood heating system. This system is fully 17th edition compliant, it is suitable for use in wet areas, unlike most carbon film systems which are not suitable as they have no earth screen.
Insulations
We have 3 types of insulation for use with our underfoor heating systems:
HeatStore™ Tile Backer Boards: These boards are made from extruded polystyrene and have a cement coating both sides making them extremley tough and durable. These boards are suitable for undertile/carpet/vinyl heating, but not suitable for under wood heating, these are considered to be the best on the market.
Heatstore™ XPS Premium boards : These Insulations boards are also made from extruded polystyrene but they dont have any cement coating. Their "U values" are just as good as our Tile Backer boards, but they wont take a lot of foot traffic before they get damged as they are not as strong. So this basically means that if you are installing them on a building site and the heating mats and finish floor are not being installed on the same day as the insulation boards, and different trades are coming and going they wont last very long before they get damaged. These boards are suitable with all our heating systems, making them the most versatile of boards around.
Heatstore™ XPS Standard boards: These boards are ONLY suitable for use with under wood heating systems, they offer a great insulation board at a low price and can even be used as underlay for laminate flooring without underfloor heating
