Underfloor Heating Calculator output Options Explained

Mat Heating

Underfloor heating mat is for wet areas or where new flooring is being laid. The mats are embedded in the tile adhesive or floor leveling compound so the heat is spread evenly across the floor. This is perfect for bathrooms, walk-in showers, and other high moisture areas. The mats have heating cables arranged in a pattern to distribute the heat evenly and reduce heat loss. The heating elements are pipe-free, so installation is simpler.

Foil Heating

Underfloor heating foil is a thin heating solution that doesn’t add much height to the floor. It’s for floors that are already installed, like wooden panels where only a finishing layer will be added. This type of heating can be used under laminates and carpets so it’s a versatile option for existing floors. It’s perfect for areas where traditional heating pipes can’t be installed.

Thermostat Options

Choosing the right thermostat is key to getting the most out of your underfloor heating system. The calculator will suggest the best thermostat for your room configuration, heating requirements, and preferences. Smart thermostats like the SUNFLOOR Smart WiFi Digital Thermostat give you advanced control and scheduling features to optimise heating and reduce energy consumption.

Excluded areas

To get the best performance and avoid energy waste, underfloor heating should not be placed under standalone elements like a bath, sink, or large fixed furniture. Excluding these areas will prevent overheating and make the heating system work more efficiently.
