Underfloor Heating

[LV0210]

Hi,

I am thinking about installing underfloor heating in the kitchen and living room. Just wondering what is your experience, where you purchased the underfloor heating from and how much did it cost you.

Also, is it worth having water underfloor heating in the bathroom or electric underfloor heating? And what types of flooring should I be using if I have underfloor heating?

Thank you very much for your help!

You generally have under floor heating under a tiled floor.

If the bathroom is on the same floor as the kitchen and living room then it would be quite simple to extend the uf htg to that area however if it is upstairs I would recommend electric.

Also it is worth noting that if you do have any form

Of uf htg in the bathroom then fixing things to the floor is not possible due to potential damage to the htg.

Hope this helps

Thanks Lee, that is good advice.

Do you think it matters which underheating supplier I use, i.e. Nu-heat etc?

I'm not a pro but more than one builder has told me that electric u/f heating products are basically all the same, whatever the brand.

We put in u/f heating when had the bathroom refurbed, and bought the kit online, including thermostat and timer/programmer. Also used an online calculator to work out how much additional heating needed and therefore what size of radiator. It's underneath a ceramic tile floor, and works a treat.
