Undertile vs In-Screed Heating
Undertile Heating
Undertile heating uses a thin heating cable installed directly beneath the tile adhesive bed, making it suited to renovations where floor height needs to be kept low, such as retrofitting an existing bathroom.
In-Screed Heating
In-screed heating embeds the cable within a layer of screed beneath the tiles, which retains and radiates heat more evenly over a longer period. This makes it a better fit for new builds where floor height isn't as constrained, and for larger areas that benefit from consistent warmth.
Insulation and Thermostats
Insulation boards, such as our Econoboard range, sit beneath the heating cable to direct warmth upward into the room rather than down into the subfloor, improving heating efficiency and reducing running costs. A programmable thermostat, such as the Thermotouch range, lets you schedule heating for specific times of day and control temperature precisely from a wall-mounted or glass touch panel.
