When arranging or renovating a bathroom, you have great possibility to install additional heating. Taking all pros and cons into account, the most common choice will be an investment in electric underfloor heating.
EFFORTLESSNESS
The main and undeniable advantage of the electrical system is its ease of use. After installation, you just simply turn it on and off when desired or set an automatic heating schedule. Convenient, discreet control panel is always at hand. It's used to precisely set the temperature at any time and this is where the hardships end with. You do not need to light the furnace, turn on pumps or boilers as with other systems
INDEPENDENCY
Such heating can work completely independent of the main heating system in the house. You do not have to turn on the heating in the whole house just to heat up the bathroom. Completely regardless of the current season and weather, you can take a bath in comfy warm bathroom.
IT'S FAST
Another advantage over other systems is the heating up speed. Heating cables or mats reach their operating temperature almost immediately, thanks to which they can start heating the floor faster. Whereas when using water heating (underfloor or classic one), bringing the system itself to the right temperature takes a lot more time.
SIMPLE AND EASY TO INSTALL
Electric underfloor heating, whether based on cables or mats, is a much simpler design and is easier to install than any other system. With a little skill, you can install them on your own. Only the final connection must be made by a qualified electrician. With a water system without proper tools and appropriate knowledge, one can make many irreversible mistakes. The simplicity of the electrical solution also guarantees a smaller possibility of a failure, and damage. For example if you damage the system when drilling in the floor it does not have such tragic effects as in the case of a water solution. The low installation height alone is often a critical factor in choosing floor heating.
The great plus is the incredible flexibility of the installation. Cables can be laid into any shape desired to match the bathroom. With larger bathrooms, you can also easily choose only the areas you actually walk on.
Other factors that can help you make a decision when buying heating system are, for example, the significant increase in value and attractiveness of a property. Anyone who has chosen electric underfloor heating is not regretting it.
