Philex heating mats are simple to install, making them the ideal choice for your new electric underfloor heating system.

The heat is generated by a special cable, which is fixed into a flexible mat backing ensuring an even distribution of warmth throughout the floor. The matting can be easily cut to fit any room and laid easily around fixed obstacles.
 

An underfloor heating system is perfect for heating kitchens where radiators may be unsightly. The comfort & warmth at your feet really comes into it's own, heating the room and warming that cold floor.
 

Bathroom and En-suite tile floors are also ideal for underfloor heating, eliminating the shock of cold tiles and adding that real touch of luxury by warming the tiles and gently heating the room.
 

For concrete sub-floors: electric underfloor heating should always be used in conjunction with a thermal insulation barrier. Where any underfloor heating is installed, heat energy will travel in both directions; down as well as up. Cement floors act as a heat sink absorbing this energy, creating a large drag on the performance of the flooring above. A thermal insulation barrier between the heat source and the sub-floor will significantly improve the performance of your floor heating, speeding up the initial warm up times and saving money on electricity costs. This insulation can take the form of a proprietary thermal board kit, or 15mm WBP (weather proof plywood).
