Electric Underfloor Heating Mat - Tile Advice

[Alzak]

Hi All,

Need an advice with regards to underfloor heating and which brand to go for...

Need about 7m2 200w for my conservatory, 6m2 150w for kitchen and around 2m2 150w for bathroom.

There is so many brands to choose from Warmup, ProWarm, WarmStar, Underfloor Heating Co and I'm bit lost as I'm not too sure what people tend to go for and is the most expensive the best one ?

Id recommend pro warm from the underfloorheating store.

What tiles are you laying ?
Pro warm is a good bet, it's mid price range and good quality.
There are kits with an uncoupling membrane built in if your going to be laying stone tiles

This would go under marble tiles.

I do not want to compromise on quality but I would also want to avoid spending more than I have to...

I would look on this ProWarm now, I hope this can be linked to WarmUp thermostat as this is what I'm planning to use for ability to remotely control this underfloor heating.

I have used the Comfort Zone range from thermonet on a couple of my floors now both under marble and porcelain and never had any problems

Ive just supplied a warm up ie remote thermostat to go with the pro warm mat, as recommend by underfloorheatingstore..

Any reason for not running one wattage throughout? Your gonna have to fit uncoupling down before tiling it, it might work out cheaper and certainly easier to fit something like vario pro or ditra heat which has uncoupling built in, and no need to look self level over the wires

No need for such a high W in kitchen as with conservatory.

I did not plan to use uncoupling mat is this necessary ? my plan was to use 6mm insulating mats.

I wouldn't fit any natural tile on ufh without at least a crack mat..

as above you at least fit a crack Matt, with that in mind I'd look at the viaro pro as it's a decoupler too may work out cheeper over all, plus a great system,

It'd be interesting to see a price comparison..also working in the continued extra running costs for having no insulation between mat and screed.

You can lay it over insulation boards Andy

I know your wel sorted with the ufh store but generally speaking, I would also be interested to know the cost different. With vario pro for example, you lay it and then tile it with stone. With regular heat mat, you lay it, level it then fit an uncoupler, that's quite expensive and time consuming and labour intensive
