Its the modern way of providing even unobtrusive heat to your whole room without resorting to bulky and unsightly wall mounted radiators. You will experience the luxury of walking barefoot on a tiled floor in cosy comfort. Philex heating mats are simple to install making them the ideal choice for your new electric underfloor heating system.The heat is generated by a special cable which is fixed into a flexible mat backing ensuring an even distribution of warmth throughout the floor. The matting can be easily cut to fit any room and laid easily around fixed obstacles. An underfloor heating system is perfect for heating kitchens where radiators may be unsightly. The comfort and warmth at your feet really comes into its own heating the room and warming that cold floor. Bathroom and En-suite tile floors are also ideal for underfloor heating eliminating the shock of cold tiles and adding that real touch of luxury by warming the tiles and gently heating the room. For concrete sub-floors electric underfloor heating should always be used in conjunction with a thermal insulation barrier. Where any underfloor heating is installed heat energy will travel in both directions down as well as up. Cement floors act as a heat sink absorbing this energy creating a large drag on the performance of the flooring above. A thermal insulation barrier between the heat source and the sub-floor will significantly improve the performance of your floor heating speeding up the initial warm up times and saving money on electricity costs. This insulation can take the form of a proprietary thermal board kit or 15mm WBP weather proof plywood. These heating mats are thermostatically controlled using a wall mounted controller and floor sensor controlling the underfloor heating system with ease. All heating mats are covered by a 10 year Manufacturers Guarantee - the thermostats guarantee is for 2 years.Available in 2 2.5 4 6 and 8 square metre sizes.
