T ile and stone are ideal types of flooring to use with an underfloor heating system. All are excellent heat conductors, do not expand and contract a lot with heat and are highly resistant to warping or cracking, making porcelain, ceramic, or stone tiles a good choice for floor covering over radiant heating.

The heating systems are 100% safe and waterproof. This also allows the system to be utilised even in wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

In most applications a tile heater with a power density of 200 watt per m² will cover ± 70% of the actual floor area (depending on the individual room’s heat loss factors) The configuration of the element and layout is done in a way that the heating element is placed in areas where you will be most in contact with the floor surface.

The heating element is installed on top of insulation boards or insulated screed, and secured with adhesive fibreglass mesh. A protective screed is then applied and the floor is subsequently tiled.

It is important that some form of insulation be installed either on top of the builder's screed, or by using an insulating screed. Insulation decreases downward heat flow into the concrete slab, thereby improving the response time and efficiency of your heating system.

All floor heating systems are managed by either analogue, digital or intelligent digital programmable thermostats, ensuring total comfort at affordable running cost.
