Electric underfloor heating is a heating system that is installed beneath the floor of a building to provide warmth and comfort. It consists of a series of electric heating elements that are laid out in a pattern underneath the floor, either in the form of heating mats or heating cables. The system is typically controlled by a thermostat, which regulates the temperature of the floor and the surrounding space.

Electric underfloor heating is typically installed during construction or renovation of a building, and can be used as a primary or secondary heating system. It is commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where tiled or stone floors are common. Electric underfloor heating is often chosen over traditional heating systems because it provides a more consistent, evenly distributed heat that can help to reduce energy costs.

Mat Systems

Our ProWarm™ Heating mats are simple and trouble-free to install. They are suited to large regular shaped areas where their installation will be quicker than loose cable kits. Our ProWarm™ 2mm mat is our most popular system. It uses exactly the same cable as the loose system except the cable spacing has already been predetermined in our factory. All you need to do is roll the sticky mat out over the floor, until it’s used up. The cable can be removed from the mat to shape into any awkward spaces. This system is ideal for kitchens, lounges, dining rooms and most other areas. It comes in 3 different power outputs, 100w-150w-200w. The mats are 500mm wide but can be cut and turned to suit most shapes, and range from 1m2 to 12m2.

Cable Systems

Our ProWarm™ loose cable systems are the ideal solution for those complicated floor areas where a mat is not suitable. Cables are rated at 10W per linear metre; this means the closer you space the cable, the higher the output.

Our ProWarm™ 2mm Loose Cables are ideal for small bathrooms with awkward fixed objects to work around, such as curved shower trays, toilets, and basins. Anything under 3m² is normally suited to a loose wire system where there is furniture or sanitary ware in situ. The cable comes as one long continuous roll on a drum, which should be spaced out evenly over the floor. The benefit of it being loose means it can be adjusted to suit any awkward areas.

Foil Systems

With the huge increase in popularity, wooden floors are fast becoming the best-selling type of flooring in the UK, but they can sometimes feel cold or uninviting. Thanks to our system, this is no longer the case.

Our superior range of ProWarm™ state-of-the-art foil heating mats are designed for use beneath laminate, engineered, and most floating hardwood floors. These heating mats must be used in conjunction with our XPS insulation boards, instead of standard underlay, and are designed to produce a heat output of 140W per m².

Our aluminium foil mats are all designed to be cut and turned on-site to fit the shape of your room.

ProGrid

The innovative grid system allows the cable to be placed within the grooves, and the pre-spaced design enables the user to install it with the desired heat output per m² without any additional need for tape or fixings.

The ProGrid+ matting acts as housing for the cable and serves as a decoupling membrane, preventing reflective cracking caused by shrinkage cracks, board joints, and lateral movement.

ProWarm™ Electric Underfloor Heating cable kits provide a reliable and effective underfloor heating system that can be used with tiles and many other floor coverings (installation methods vary, please call us for advice).
