How to measure up for Underfloor Heating

Measuring for underfloor heating within you property is an easy task to complete. You'll need to gain your available heated area following these 3 easy steps.

Step 1

Room Size

Measure the Length and Width of the room to work out the overall square meterage.

Step 2

Fixed Furniture

Work out dimensions of any fixed furniture such as kitchen units including appliances, kitchen islands, bathroom suite (shower tray, bath, toilet and sink pedestals) and any flat lying furniture. These will need to be deducted from your room’s footprint.

Step 3

Total Area

Once these deductions are applied you will have left your heatable floor area.

Things to consider

Electric Underfloor Heating

Tip 1

When purchasing your mat system, you'll reduce this heatable area by 10% to allow for a 50mm to 100mm perimeter around the room, along with an allowance to space matting so it doesn't overlap.

Tip 2

For areas that are awkward in shape such as bathrooms a loose cable is suggested, this will maximise the heating area, provide an easy install solution and a more efficient and even heat.

Tip 3

The underfloor heating element cannot be shortened in length as this will invalidate your lifetime warranty so ordering the correct size system is essential.
