When people think of underfloor heating, the first thing that comes to mind is usually a warm bathroom floor or a toasty kitchen. But underfloor heating is far more versatile than many realise. At Fastwarm, we work with customers on a wide range of projects — and we’ve seen underfloor heating used in some pretty creative ways.
Here are five places you might not have considered installing underfloor heating.
1. Conservatories and Orangeries
Conservatories can be difficult to heat using traditional methods. Radiators often take up valuable wall space, and portable heaters can be inefficient. Underfloor heating provides an ideal solution by evenly heating the space without clutter. It helps make your conservatory usable all year round — not just during the warmer months.
2. Bathrooms and Wet Rooms
Yes, this one is more common — but what many people don’t realise is how transformational underfloor heating can be in wet rooms or walk-in showers. Electric systems can be safely installed under tile or stone floors and even slope into shower areas, making them a stylish and practical choice for luxury bathroom renovations.
3. Garden Rooms and Home Offices
With remote working on the rise, many people are converting sheds or outbuildings into home offices. Underfloor heating is perfect for these smaller, often poorly insulated spaces. It’s discreet, energy-efficient, and doesn’t take up space — essential in compact rooms where every square foot counts.
4. Renovated Barns and Heritage Properties
Older properties often have uneven walls, limited radiator space, or restrictions on installing modern fittings. Underfloor heating can be an elegant solution that respects the building’s structure while offering modern comfort. Low-profile systems can even be installed without dramatically raising floor height.
5. Commercial Spaces
From cafés and beauty salons to offices and showrooms, underfloor heating is increasingly being used in commercial environments. It provides consistent warmth for both staff and customers, and eliminates trip hazards caused by radiators or heaters. It also helps with hygiene in places like salons and clinics by reducing dust movement.
Bonus: Add Smart Controls for Maximum Efficiency
No matter where you install underfloor heating, adding a smart thermostat or programmable timer takes the efficiency to another level. Set schedules, control zones, and manage your heating remotely for total control and comfort.
