Why electric underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating has proved extremely popular in Australia for many years and as such Radiant Floor Heating WA continues to grow every year, as people discover the many benefits of this type of heating, which in many cases can provide the primary heat source for the room.

With all underfloor heating systems, the floor is gently heated to a comfortable temperature (usually between 21–28 deg C depending on the room) and the heat generated slowly radiates into the room, in turn heating the air from the ground up. This gives a very even heat distribution throughout the room and offers a level of comfort which is far superior to other forms of heating.

For bathrooms alone, electric is the stand out choice as it is quick and easy to install, easy to control, requires minimal, if any, changes to building process or its design.

For the rest of the home the popular choice is to heat the main living areas (family/dining/kitchen) and this can be installed in a concrete slab (fixed to the reinforcing steel), on top of a slab prior to screeding (In Screed), or directly below the tiles (under-Tile)

Major benefits include:

• Comfortable, evenly distributed temperature throughout the room
• Warmer at your feet rather than your head
• A dry floor means less mold
• Completely invisible
• Greatly reduced dust circulation (perfect for families with allergies)
• Economical to run
• No heat lamps means exhaust fans can be placed over showers
