Bathroom Underfloor Heating Mats

Bathing Direct Product review

What are underfloor heating mats?
Underfloor heating mats are a quick and easy way to achieve heated floors in the bathroom. Bathroom underfloor heating mats are usually laid and embedded in the tile adhesive under ceramic tiled floors. This means that the heated cables in the mats are near the surface of the floor, making the tiles warm to the touch and allowing them to heat the whole room.

Underfloor heating mats work in a similar way to electric blankets. The heated cables are evenly spaced throughout the mat and then connected to a thermostat so you can control the temperature. This spacing means the warmth is evenly distributed across the floor so there are no cold spots or overly warm areas. The mats are usually cut and installed so they fit around permanent fixtures such as baths and basins.

The number one benefit of underfloor heating for the bathroom is that your bathroom tiles will be warm under foot which means that you can enjoy the gentle warming sensation even in the coldest weather. Underfloor heating mats are a great way to heat the bathroom as heat rises so the room will be warmed from the floor upwards. Another benefit of installing underfloor heating mats is that you can remove your existing radiator or electric heater which will give you more space in your bathroom. This is especially useful if your bathroom is compact or if your radiator is large and removing it could free up valuable wall space for storage or extra furniture. You could even save money on your heating bills with bathroom underfloor heating as the systems heat the entire room evenly. Bathroom underfloor heating mats can achieve the same level of warmth at a lower temperature, unlike a radiator which concentrates the heat in just one area and heats the room from the ceiling downwards. It's easy to install underfloor heating in the bathroom and the system requires very little maintenance so you can enjoy the worry free warmth for many years. Another benefit of underfloor heating is that your bathroom floor will dry out much quicker and therefore help prevent slippages and damp spots.

What are the main benefits of underfloor heating mats?
One drawback of underfloor heating is that it can take a while to heat up a room after the system has been switched on, although this is less of a problem with ceramic tiles as they conduct heat relatively easily. If the underfloor heating mat is installed under pieces of furniture, rather than being fitted around the furniture, this could create heat spots which could damage the legs of the furniture or create condensation and damp in cupboards for example.

What are the drawbacks of underfloor heating mats?
Underfloor heating is an economical and space saving way to heat the ceramic tile flooring in your bathroom. By heating the room from the floor upwards and evenly distributing the heat your entire bathroom can stay warm and cosy.
