How to measure your room

Step 1: Measure the length and width of the room

Step 2: Calculate the total area of the room in square meters by multiplying the length and width

Step 4: Measure any fixed objects such as baths and pedestals and subtract them from Step 2

Step 5: Subtract a further 10 % to allow for a gap around the edges of the room

Step 6: Choose the smallest mat that is closest to the figure given in Step 5. If your room after Step 5 measures 3.60 choose a 3m2 mat.

If installing insulation use the figure in Step 1 as the insulation should fit flush against the room edges.

What are Electric Underfloor Heating Mats?

Electric underfloor heating mats are a simple yet effective form of heating that can be easily rolled into place and your chosen flooring installed on top; this flooring can be ceramic, tiles, stone, carpet, vinyl or more. The electric underfloor heating mat will be connected to a source of electricity which will heat the underfloor mat. The heating wires on the mats are pre-spaced to ensure that there is radiant, even heating across the floor and room. Electric underfloor heating mats are the perfect all-rounder underfloor heating system for any property.

Underfloor Store stocks a selection of electric underfloor heating mats ranging from 100W to 160W. The 100w is a great option if your aim is to achieve a warmer floor, whereas the 160W is the better option for heating a room throughout. What’s good about electric underfloor heating mats at Underfloor Store is that they are flexible. For rooms that are awkward shapes, the cables can be removed from the mat and moulded into shape to accommodate the area it needs to fit into.
