When you’re keen to minimise disruption to daily life in your home, finding a fast way to complete work is key. If you’re installing an underfloor heating (UFH) system, it’s understood you’ll want to finish the project as quickly as possible so you can start to enjoy its benefits. Here we look at the swiftest UFH to fit.
What impacts installation times?
Many factors affect how rapidly UFH is installed. The size of the project always has impact, as fitting UFH in every room of your home naturally takes more time than kitting out your bedroom’s en-suite. Complexity also has a bearing as some home layouts are trickier to equip and how much of the task you can competently tackle yourself is also a factor. However, a major consideration is the type of UFH you’re installing.
Wet UFH involves more work than electric to fit, making it a far lengthier process. However, there are two sub-types of electric UFH, and one is faster to install than the other.
What is the quickest UFH to deploy?
Sticky mats and loose wire are two electric UFH systems designed for different circumstances. Loose wire works best with irregular shaped rooms that require bespoke positioning of cabling to create continuous heat. While quicker to fit than a plumbed wet system, loose wire is topped for speed and ease of installation by sticky mat systems. Rolls of self-adhesive mesh, sticky mats have pre-spaced UFH cable already in place and can be rapidly deployed and connected in record time.
