If you’re considering electric underfloor heating installation, Sydney might not seem like an obvious location, but it is a luxury on chilly winter mornings. Heated floors provide radiant warmth from the ground level, and it alleviates the biting cold quickly. It is also simple to maintain, saves space, and promotes energy efficiency.

These warming mats are custom-built for your room, and best laid on top of the scree to ensure even and efficient heating. We cannot lay anything over the top of the mat without risk of hot spots so you will need to be sure of where you’re placing the items in the room.
Our experts prepare the scree carefully to ensure that it’s spotless. If not, the mats won’t stick. Connecting the mats with the draw wires, we then create a groove, lay the cables, connect these to the mats, and cover it all with waterproofing.
With this underfloor heating technique, the heating elements are as close to the floor’s surface as possible.
Loose Wire
If you have concrete or tiled floors, the loose wire technique is more effective. Once you’ve established a place for each piece of furniture, we will install the loose wire mats without the risk of hazardous hotspots.
We lay the mat and then the scree, using one length of cable to provide ambient heat instead of the draw wires. In this case, it lies within the scree, and the final flooring layer completes the process.
The heating element is between the sub-floor and the surface.
Foil Heaters
If you have carpeted or wooden floors, foil heaters will serve your purposes better. It’s essential to seal the wood so that it neither buckles nor sweats. Homeowners may also choose to lay insulation first to prevent heat loss through the sub-floor.
The heating pads lie between the carpet and underlay (or just underneath the wood panels). We customise the mats according to the size and layout of your rooms.
Foil heaters are laminated with foil to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of operation. As with the other methods, direct pressure may damage the electrical conduits over time.
The foil heater technique leaves the heaters near the surface and warming your room efficiently.
