We sell a number of different types of underfloor heating kits. Installing one is a great way to save energy and money on heating bills. Underfloor heating systems also add a touch of luxury to any bathroom, especially in the long winter months when mornings are chilly and dank.
The kits come in two types. The first are meshed into rectangles of substrate material. You simply lay the matting down on the underfloor surface. The second type comes in a cord form you can weave around bathroom cabinets and the area where the bath or shower will be so no energy is wasted by heating up storage and bathing areas. It is slightly trickier to lay, though.
If you choose that kind of under floor heating kit, plan out what will go where in the bathroom well in advance. Measure carefully and mark outlines of the bathroom cabinets and appliances in pencil. With either type, think carefully about where the thermostat will go. It should be easy to access once everything is installed.
Never cut a heating cable, either within a mat or on its own.
Both types you can lay out yourself, and most of the work can be done by DIY-savvy home owners. They are suitable for renovation projects as well as new homes. However, you should certainly get an electrician to connect the underfloor heating system to the house electrical wiring. That way you can be sure of safety and that everything in your bathroom is up to code.

There is nothing worse than padding barefoot across the bathroom tiles on a cold winter Monday morning. The chill might wake you up but it’s a rude awakening, especially when you’d much rather stay in your nice comfy bed until the day gets a bit warmer. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Installing a bathroom underfloor heating system will do away with cold bathroom floors forever, leaving you to wake up in a nice hot shower instead.
They come in two types, cable and mat. The cables are laid out in loops on the surface that lies under the floor, curving easily around planned bathroom cabinets and on the right side of the shower door line so no heat gets wasted. The mat systems use the same idea, with the cabling kept inside a mesh matting for easy installation. Some mats are even self-adhesive to make the process even simpler.
Most bathroom underfloor heating systems are controllable with a simple thermostat, linked to a floor probe. That way they can be turned off or down in the warmer months. From an environmental perspective, underfloor heating is quite a good idea. The whole room is gently heated as the warm air near the floor circulates, heating the room evenly and efficiently. With a radiator, for example, the area around the appliance is hot, but because it’s such a small area the rest of the room doesn’t get the full benefit of that heat. And of course, with underfloor heating you don’t need to install a heater, leaving more space for bathroom cabinets and fixtures.

Underfloor heating is becoming increasingly popular in bathrooms and wetrooms, as a way of maintaining consistent warmth throughout the room without the use of radiators. It is not unusual these days to have underfloor heating kits with simple installation to help you add that extra sense of luxury to your bathroom or wetroom.
Underfloor heating can be fitted to any concrete or timber based floor. There are a number of advantages to underfloor heating. Firstly, they can maintain the spread of warmth throughout the room whilst being set at a lower temperature, which could save you money on your heating bills in the long term. They also free up the space in your bathroom, since you will no longer require clunky radiators to keep warm. Furthermore, underfloor heating also dries the floor quickly as the heat rises up from underneath, which makes it particularly beneficial to wetrooms.
Underfloor heating can be installed in two ways. One way is by laying heat cables under the tiles or floorboards, which are flexible and can fit to the size and shape of any bathroom. Alternatively you can use underfloor heating mats, which have cables already attached, and can be laid and cut to fit the floor space. Underfloor heating insulation boards can also be installed, and at a low cost, to stop any heat escaping unnecessarily.
At Bathroom2u we have underfloor heating kits for bathrooms at wetrooms that are economical, and create the sense of warmth, space and luxury.

In the winter months the bathroom plays a very important role, as an escape to warmth and luxury after day in the icy air. A long, hot bath or shower will get the circulation going again, however you do not want to be faced with a less than welcoming, freezing cold bathroom once your bath or shower has finished. These days there are a range of bathroom heating options, from heated towel rails to underfloor heating, to ensure that your bathroom maintains the cosy warmth throughout.
Heated towel rails take up very little space, unlike traditional clunky radiators, and are an economic way to add style as well as luxury to your bathroom. They come in either chrome or white finishes, so your choice will be dependent on your design. For example, if you have chrome bathroom taps you might want to complement them with a chrome towel rail, whereas a white bathroom suite might benefit aesthetically from a white towel rail.
Underfloor heating is becoming increasingly popular, particularly for wetrooms. Using either cable fitted underneath the bathroom floor, or mats with the cables already fitted, underfloor heating can be easily installed into bathrooms or wetrooms and are a further step toward maximising space. Furthermore, by heating the room at a lower temperature it could save you money on your heating bills in the long run.
At Bathroom2u, we provide heated towel rails and equipment for underfloor heating, all of which will give your bathroom essential warmth with a stylish finish.

Underfloor heating is a highly effective and economic procedure, and as such is becoming increasingly popular. With underfloor heating you can free up the space in your bathroom, and ensure an even spread of warmth throughout. Nowadays, it is possible to have underfloor heating kits to suit any floor and bathroom size.
Underfloor heating is often fitted into wetrooms, since it contributes to the openness of the room by alleviating the need for radiators. As wetrooms often require floor adjustment to set the gradient for drainage, it makes perfect sense to install underfloor heating at the same time. It can be fitted to any bathroom, and at a low cost. Cable kits provide the heating cables which are then fitted beneath the floor tiles. Theses are the cheapest option and as such are particularly good if you are heating a large bathroom. Alternatively you can spend a little more and get mats with the cable already fitted, which simply need to be cut to size and fitted to your bathroom floor. You can also purchase underfloor heating insulation boards at a low cost to support your underfloor system.
Underfloor heating may seem like an unnecessary expense, but in actual fact installation is no more expensive than fitting radiators, and as underfloor heating maintains the warmth whilst being set at a lower temperature, the overall cost could well be slightly cheaper.
At Bathroom2u we have underfloor heating kits from trusted manufacturers, and whether it is bathrooms or wetrooms you possess, you will be able to find the system to suit you.
