General Overview

Imagine a room with no unsightly radiators but still warm, with a modern smooth floor finish: tiles, stone, laminate or hardwood. No dust or draughts caused by circulating air currents.
Whether it be for a Kitchen, bathroom, conservatory – or any room in your home, our electric underfloor heating systems offer the complete solution creating the perfect comfort zone in any environment. These systems put you in complete control with a range of control options. And what’s more, you’ll find it makes complete sense helping you to save money, while delivering environmental and health benefits. Indeed, constructed from the best of materials and manufactured by Flexel International based in Scotland, a company with 30 years experience of manufacturing underfloor heating solutions, the system offers you complete peace of mind.

There are different kinds of heating systems and different kinds of heat. With our underfloor heating system, you get a heat that is most conducive to your comfort. A radiant heat that ensures you feel comfortable even at a lower air temperature than that produced by a more traditional convection system.
With all of our electric systems, the floor structure is gently warmed throughout typically 23-26°C to create a large radiant surface. In contact with this surface, people and objects absorb the energy emitted without it directly heating the air first. This also means that there is no loss of air quality in the room. The result is that you experience warm feet real comfort! And a cool clear head.

When considering the cost of a heating system, you have to look at the capital cost plus the running costs over the life of the system.
Significantly, our underfloor heating system can help you to save up to 20% on domestic fuel bills, and can cut a remarkable 50% or more off the heating costs for large commercial properties.
