bathroom underfloor heating - help needed

Comments

  • Hi

    is it really worth putting underfloor heating in a 1m x 1m area.!!!???

    Anything under 3 sq/mtrs is a waste of time/money in my opinion...

    If you must go for a heating cable and not a mat.. decide if you want it to take chill off tiles or as room heating.. that will then determine the wattage you will require for the cable..

    You will also need a stat controller which as previous post states, must be installed outside of the room.. And as part of the regs the electrics MUST also be done by a Part P certified person...

    Remember to use a flexible tile adhesive and grout aswell... This is very important regardless of what the sub-floor is...

    Goodluck

    yes,
    because it's such a small room i don't want to loose wall (storage) space to radiators or towel heaters, it's apparently the most common room in the house to underfloor heat.
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
