Heating · Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating
Warm floors, free walls.

Heating under the floor warms your feet, dries the floor faster and frees the walls. Electric systems suit most refits; wet systems run off your heating.

Refits: Electric mat
Awkward shapes: Electric cable
Large rooms: Wet system
Bonus: Floors dry faster
