Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is underfloor heating for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces?
Underfloor heating is a modern heating system installed beneath your flooring to provide even warmth throughout a room. It works perfectly in kitchen floor heating, bathroom heated floors, sunroom heating systems, and heated exterior flooring, offering energy-efficient comfort for every season.
2. Can underfloor heating be installed under all types of flooring?
Yes! Our underfloor heating installation is compatible with a variety of flooring solutions, including tile, laminate, engineered wood, vinyl, and stone. Choosing the right combination of flooring and heated floor systems ensures durability, efficient heat transfer, and long-lasting performance.
3. How long does it take to install underfloor heating with new flooring?
Installation time depends on the room size and floor type. Typical projects, such as kitchen flooring with underfloor heating or bathroom heated floors, take 3-5 days for small to medium spaces. Larger areas or complex layouts, including sunroom heated flooring or heated outdoor patios, may take longer.

6. How do I maintain floors with underfloor heating?
Maintenance is simple. Follow the care instructions for your flooring type—whether it’s kitchen tiles, bathroom vinyl, or sunroom laminate. Avoid excessive moisture and sharp objects, and schedule periodic checks on your heated floor system to ensure optimal performance.
