Bathroom Mat

160 watts/m

2

Although any of our underfloor heating

products are suitable for use in bathrooms

we have developed a system which is

specifically designed for wet bathrooms.

This system is easy to install, extremely

robust and available in 300mm widths

giving a better floor coverage around

bathroom furniture. It is ultra thin, adding

only 5mm to the depth of the floor and is

rated at a powerful 160 watts/m

. This

system has been designed with a

completely unique external earth braid and

grid system to comply with all forthcoming

European and International guidelines and

directives. This is the safest underfloor

heating system in the world. 

• Ideal for bathrooms as they quickly dry 

wet floors.

• Fitted with unique external earth braid 

for additional safety even in shower areas.

• 300mm wide for better coverage and 

easier installation.

• Fabric backing for better installation.

Recommendations and Technical

What else do I need to install an

underfloor heating system?

All you need is the correct heating system,

a control (timer/thermostat), an RCD and

the adhesives/leveller to stick the system

onto the sub-floor.

What size heating system do I need?

It is important to make sure that you have

the correct size heating system. Underfloor

heating is not laid under permanent

furniture (kitchen cabinets and sanitary

ware), just in the free floor space. For

example, the bathroom in the diagram on

the left is 4.5m

2

of floor area, but the actual

amount of underfloor heating required is

only 1.5m

2

.

What controls do I need?

We recommend installing a

timer/thermostat; this will allow you total

control of your heating whilst ensuring 

maximum efficiency.

Our thermostats are

covered by a one year

guarantee.

What electrical/subfloor preparations 

do I need to make?

We recommend a qualified electrician carry

out all electrical work. The electrician will

need to provide the correct size spur and

deep single back boxes for the control and

Residual Current Device (RCD). An RCD is a

safety device (circuit breaker) which is

essential for the validation of the guarantee

and to comply with IEE guidelines. Prepare

the sub-floor ready for the final floor finish.

An RCD is only required if you do not

already have one on the mains. The wiring

to the thermostat should be channelled into

the wall and protected by plastic trunking

or conduit.
