Electric underfloor heating is simple and cost effective

18 March, 2007

Electric underfloor heating mats from Creda are only 3 mm thick and can be used with any type of flooring — including ceramic tiles, carpet, laminate or wooden floors. They can used for new build or refurbishment projects in homes. Benefits include low capital cost and easy installation. They gently emit heat to provide an even, draught-free and warm environment. Temperatures are regulated by a wall-mounted multi-controlling thermostat that allows for 7-day programming. Independent tests have shown that when feet are warm, the air temperature can be lower without affecting overall comfort. A reduction of 2 to 3 K makes a dramatic impact on energy consumption. Mats are available to fit most rooms and have a 10-year guarantee.
