In-Slab Heating
In-slab heating is the most popular choice for new homes and extensions where a new slab is being poured.
Installation is very simple and takes place as soon as the reinforcing mesh is down (usually the day before the concrete pour)
Advantages include:
- Low cost - In slab is usually the cheapest type of underfloor heating to install
- Suitable for most floor coverings - the concrete heats evenly so the system can be used for polished concrete, all kinds of stone and tiles, carpet and even many direct stick wood floors
- Zoned to suit your home - Can be installed in any room and zoned independently, but typical installation is in the main open plan living area (kitchen/family/dining) plus lounge and media etc.
- Off peak or peak power - Where off peak or smart meters are available the system can be connected to reduced rate night time electricity. When the under floor heating is operated overnight with off-peak power it is possible to keep your home warm 24/7 throughout the winter at a reasonable cost.
