When most people think of underfloor heating, they picture a cosy bathroom with warm tiles underfoot. While it’s true that bathrooms are a popular choice, underfloor heating is far more versatile than many realise. Whether you’re renovating or planning a new build, here are seven unexpected places you can install underfloor heating to boost comfort and energy efficiency.
1. Home Offices
With hybrid and remote working now the norm, home offices are more important than ever. Cold floors can make working from home uncomfortable, especially in winter. Installing electric underfloor heating in your office ensures a warm and inviting space that helps you stay focused and productive.
2. Garden Rooms and Outbuildings
Whether you use your garden room as a gym, studio, or chill-out zone, it needs effective heating. Traditional radiators can take up valuable wall space and ruin the aesthetic. Underfloor heating offers a discreet solution that keeps the space warm all year round. Fastwarm’s insulation boards can also help retain heat in outbuildings.
3. Conservatories
Conservatories can be unusable in colder months without proper heating. UFH helps create a year-round living space by maintaining an even temperature. Choose a system compatible with your flooring type—such as laminate and wood floor heating kits—for the best results.
4. Kitchens with Minimal Wall Space
In modern kitchens where appliances and cabinets take up wall space, it’s often tricky to fit radiators. Underfloor heating maximises space without compromising warmth or design. Fastwarm offers full electric heating kits suitable for all kitchen sizes.
5. Hallways and Landings
Hallways are often forgotten when it comes to heating, yet they’re the first area guests see and the space you walk through daily. Underfloor heating creates a welcoming feel while keeping damp at bay.
6. Basements
Basements are naturally cooler than the rest of the home. Whether you’re converting yours into a snug, games room, or extra bedroom, a water underfloor heating kit can offer effective warmth without bulky radiators.
7. Utility Rooms
With tiled floors and cold finishes, utility rooms can be uninviting. Installing UFH here is a simple way to improve comfort while helping moisture evaporate more quickly, preventing damp and mould.
Underfloor heating isn’t just for bathrooms—it’s a flexible, space-saving solution suitable for almost every room in your home. At Fastwarm, we supply high-quality electric and water systems that can be tailored to your space, lifestyle, and budget.
