Fired Earth Underfloor Heating

There are three types of underfloor heating

available. The descriptions below will help

you choose the most suitable type for your

particular installation.

Floor Warming mat –

setting the standard

in underfloor heating. Provides comfortable

warmth in all Fired Earth tiled floors.

Sole Source heating –

a system powerful

enough to be the sole form of heating even

in a conservatory.

Bathroom Mat –

an earth braided system

for use in all bathrooms including 

‘wet’ areas.

This mat makes a warm floor underfoot an

affordable luxury, making any tiled surface 

in any room a joy to walk on.

It is widely accepted that heating mats are

superior to loose cable systems, as

they are much quicker to install and

have regulated cable widths, so you

always get a good even heat spread

with no hot or cold spots.

• Fabric backing for better 

installation

• Powerful 160 watts/m

output to 

warm even the thickest tile

• Only one connection cable for  

easy installation

• Adds only 5mm to the floor depth

• Surpasses international safety standards

• 10 year guarantee

• No electro magnetic field

The Floor Warming mat has a fabric

backing allowing adhesives to be fully

absorbed, thereby allowing a perfect bond

between the tiles and subfloor.

this mat system is one of the most

powerful on the market. The system: 

• Is ultra thin, adding only 5mm to the 

floor depth

• Is available in 500mm width 

• Can be installed either directly beneath 

the tiles or in the screed for off peak 

electricity use. 

If using underfloor heating for sole source

heating, it is very important to have

insulation either under the screed or

directly below the heating. 

To make sure the heat output is sufficient 

we offer a free planning service, whereby

we can calculate both the heat requirement

There are many benefits to our electric

underfloor heating system:

• All our cables are double insulated with 

an internal earth sheathing. The systems 

have been tested and comply with 

worldwide standards and regulations.

• They are very thin usually adding only 

5mm in total to the depth of the floor.

• They are 100% efficient.

•  They free up valuable wall space.

•  They are fully controllable with 

rapid response times when installed 

with suitable thermal boards and are 

run independently of your central 

heating system.

• Radiant heat reduces drafts and is more 

effective than convective heating.

• They are simple and quick to install

With an extensive range of sizes and

systems you can install electric underfloor

heating in any size room or location.

Electric underfloor heating is an
affordable luxury

Buying and installing underfloor heating is

easy, all you need is the correct size heating

mat, a programmable Thermostat and an

RCD (this is not required if you already

have one on your main electricity board).

All installations should be surveyed by a

suitably qualified electrician to check for

the availability of sufficient supply and 

that the installation will meet current 

IEE regulations.
