How does underfloor heating work?

Electric underfloor heating is an energy-efficient way to heat your home. It’s most usually found in bathrooms and bedrooms, but can be installed anywhere in the house.

Heat is produced by a series of electric wires or electrical mats that are installed underneath your flooring. Electric insulation boards are placed above these heating cables to help prevent heat loss. These heating wires or electric matts are then connected to the mains electricity supply to efficiently and uniformly heat your home.

You can get underfloor heating with most flooring types, though some floor coverings are better at conducting heat, such as laminate, vinyl, tile and solid wood.
