In-slab heating uses heating cables embedded in a concrete slab floor to provide heating. The slab stores the heat and releases it to provide continuous warmth during the day. Generally in-slab heating systems are considered for new buildings or projects where they can installed when the slab is poured (although they can also be used in renovations and fitted to some existing buildings).

Under-tile heating is a floor heating system designed more for existing homes with either concrete or timber floors where the heating is provided by cables or heating mats in screed (and often under tiles). This type of heating is also known as 'demand heating' due to its ability to heat up quickly, which makes it very popular for use in tiled areas such as bathrooms.

Yes. However, the heating cable must have a screed covering to a minimum depth of 15mm. This ensures adequate heat dispersal and protection for the element.

We recommend low pile wool carpet. Tile heating (or in-screed heating) under carpet is not the same product as a rug heater or carpet heater. Our product is installed as a permanent addition to the floor surface and cannot be seen when you lift the rug or carpet thereafter.

No, the operating temperature will not damage the slab. The sun generally heats the exposed floor to temperatures considerably higher than this.

Yes, a solar system is perfect for lowering the running costs of floor heating. Any excess power produced from the solar can be used to run the floor heating.

Yes, floor heating is compatible with various flooring materials, including tile, hardwood, laminate, carpet, and even concrete. The choice of flooring may affect the heating system's efficiency and performance.

Please contact your flooring supplier for compatibility advice.

Retrofitting existing floors with heating is possible, but it may require raising the floor level, which can affect door clearance and room height. It's essential to consider these factors during the planning stage.

Floor heating can take some time to reach the desired temperature, typically around 30 - 60 minutes if installed correctly.

It is recommended to have floor heating installed by a professional to ensure proper installation and safety.

All electrical connections and testing must be preformed by a licensed electrician.
