Electric Underfloor Heating Kit

Everything you need for an underfloor heating installation

There is nothing like the feeling of a warm heated floor under your feet, it's perfect for waking up and coming home to on those cold rainy days. It's more comfortable, affordable and greener than traditional radiator heating systems.

So not only does it free-up all of that radiator space, it reduces the long-term costs of your heating bill. This is because radiator heat rises: giving you hot heads, cold floors and scorching radiator units. With CU Heating: Electric Underfloor Heating the temperature control is more even, allowing you room-by-room control with a choice of thermostat.

Perfect for kitchens, conservatories, bathrooms, wet rooms and more!

Our range of adhesive heating mats are great to use under tile and vinyl (if covered with a suitable latex levelling compound) and can be installed on top of either concrete or marine ply bases.

Sound good? We know it does. We have kit sizes from 1m² to 18m² available.

Electrical Requirements

This system should be protected by an RCD.

In most cases a 13Amp fused spur is fitted before the thermostat.

Our systems operate on 230V 50Hz

In bathrooms the thermostat control should be mounted outside the bathroom.

The heating cable must never be cut.

To facilitate installation the cold lead wire can be cut to suit.

Mat Layout & Fixing

Please relate to the floor planning before installing your heater mat as this is very important.

When installing your heater mat always leave a minimum of 50mm unheated gap around the room perimeter. 

Make sure that the mat can fit the floor area to be heated.  It is better to have just too little than too much over. 

Remember, never cut the heating element.  Cut only the fibreglass mesh carrier when needed and turn or flip the mat to meet your requirements. 

When installing you must ensure that none of the heating element is within 5cm of another heating element. 

Please see customisations to assist you on this.

 

10 Rules to Ensure Correct Installation of Your Heating Mat

1.         Never cut the heating element wire.

2.         Heating element must always be protected by an RCD.

3.         Never leave excess heating mats rolled up under units or fixtures.

4.         Never run the cold leads (connection leads) underneath or across the heating element wires.

5.         Never cross or overlap the heating wires.

6.         Do not switch the system on for at least 2 weeks after fitting the floor finish; you need to wait for the adhesive / latex / grout to dry naturally.

7.         Do not cut or prepare tiles on top of the fitted heating system.  When other work is going on in the room, avoid damage by keeping the heating covered until you are ready for the final floor finish to be put down.

8.         The cables should never be spaced at intervals closer than 5 cm or further than 10 cm apart.

9.         Only a qualified electrician should connect the heating element to the mains.

10.       Do not forget to install the floor sensor for your thermostat in its tube when you install the system.
