What is electric underfloor heating?
Definition and operation
Electric underfloor heating is a type of heating that uses electric heating elements, such as heating cables or electric underfloor heating mats, which are installed beneath the floor covering. These systems work by heating the subfloor, radiating the heat upwards and evenly heating the room.
The total thickness of the systems varies, but our electric underfloor heating mats are designed for easy installation. Our films are less than 1 mm thin. A digital clock thermostat allows the user to precisely adjust the temperature for optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
Benefits of electric heating
The advantages of electric underfloor heating are numerous. Firstly, it offers an energy-efficient way to heat rooms, consuming only 150 watts per m². Furthermore, electric heating systems are ideally suited for various types of floor coverings, such as laminate, PVC, carpet, and parquet.
This makes it a versatile solution for any home. Moreover, electric underfloor heating can function as the primary heating system, but also as supplementary heating in combination with other systems. Our customer service team is ready to advise you on the best applications and to provide a customized quote.
Applications in different spaces
Electric underfloor heating can be used in various rooms, from living rooms to bathrooms. In the bathroom, for example, it ensures a comfortable temperature, even on cold days, and prevents condensation on the floor. In the living room, it contributes to a cozy atmosphere and evenly heats the floor.
Electric underfloor heating mats are easy to install and fit perfectly under various types of flooring, whether you prefer wooden flooring or modern carpet. All our systems are designed to provide a comfortable temperature that can be used year-round.

At Termofol, we offer a wide range of electric underfloor heating products to suit different needs and preferences, including cables and mats. Our electric underfloor heating mats are available in various sizes and thicknesses, including the popular 4 mm mats, which are easy to install under various types of floor coverings.
Whether you choose laminate, parquet, PVC, or carpet, our range is designed to ensure even and efficient heating. Our customer service team is ready to help you choose the right products. We ensure your heating functions optimally in every room, from the living room to the bathroom.
Different types of electric underfloor heating mats
Our electric underfloor heating mats are available in various types and are ideal for a variety of applications. They are designed with integrated heating cables that ensure even heat distribution across the floor surface. With a power consumption of only 150 watts per m², they are also energy-efficient.
For specific applications, we offer mats in various thicknesses and sizes, making them a perfect fit for any space, even the bathroom or living room. They can also be easily connected to a digital thermostat, allowing you to adjust and increase the temperature as needed, contributing to your comfort.
Comparison of laminate and parquet with electric underfloor heating
When choosing between laminate and parquet flooring for underfloor heating, there are several factors to consider. Laminate is generally thinner and has lower thermal resistance, making it ideal for use with electric underfloor heating. It ensures the room warms up quickly.
Parquet, on the other hand, is a natural wood that can react to temperature changes. But with proper installation and the right thickness, it can also function well with our electric underfloor heating. It's important to consult an expert to ensure the chosen floor finish works optimally with our electric underfloor heating systems.
Foil and mats for effective heating
Foil and electric underfloor heating mats are both effective options for heating a room. Foil can be used in conjunction with underfloor heating and is an excellent choice for rooms with limited height, as it has a very low total thickness. This foil can be easily installed under your floor covering and provides efficient heat distribution.
However, our electric mats are the most popular choice due to their ease of use and excellent performance. Both systems can be controlled with a thermostat, allowing you to precisely control the temperature and save energy while enjoying the benefits of a comfortable, warm floor.
Installing electric underfloor heating
Step-by-step plan for installation
Installing electric underfloor heating requires careful attention to ensure the system functions efficiently and safely. Start by measuring the area to determine how many square meters (m²) of heating mats or foil you need. Next, the subfloor must be properly prepared; make sure it's clean, dry, and level.
After preparing the subfloor, you can roll out the electric underfloor heating mats or foil. Remember to position the heating cables correctly to ensure even heat distribution across the floor. Connect the mats to the digital thermostat to easily control the temperature and maximize your heating system's performance.
Tips for laying heating foil
When laying heating foil, it's important to follow a few crucial tips for successful installation. Ensure the foil is evenly laid, without wrinkles or air bubbles, to ensure optimal heat transfer. Cut the foil to size and connect it to the heating cables. This ensures efficient heating.
Check the film's specifications to confirm it's suitable for your floor finish, such as laminate, PVC, or carpet. Using a reliable thermostat is essential to minimize energy consumption and maintain a comfortable temperature.
Avoiding common mistakes
When installing electric underfloor heating, several common mistakes can occur that can reduce the system's effectiveness. One of the most common mistakes is improper subfloor preparation, which can lead to uneven heat distribution. Furthermore, choosing the correct insulation thickness is crucial; products that are too thin can reduce heating efficiency.
Incorrectly connecting the heating cables to the thermostat is also a common mistake. Make sure all connections are secure and that the thermostat is set correctly. This ensures energy-efficient operation of your electric underfloor heating.
Buy electric underfloor heating
What to look out for when purchasing
When purchasing electric underfloor heating, there are several important factors to consider. First, it's essential to check the total thickness of the heating mats or foil, especially since this affects installation and heat transfer.
You should also consider the type of flooring you will be using, such as laminate, PVC or carpet, as not all materials perform equally well with electric heating.
Power, measured in watts per m², is also crucial; our systems consume only 150 watts per m², making them highly energy-efficient. Contact our customer service for advice tailored to your specific situation.

Thermostats for electric underfloor heating
Types of thermostats: digital clock thermostat vs. clock thermostat
When choosing a thermostat for your electric underfloor heating, you have several options, including digital clock thermostats and traditional clock thermostats. Digital clock thermostats offer greater flexibility and accuracy, allowing you to set the temperature based on your daily routine.
This ensures optimal heating and energy efficiency. On the other hand, traditional clock thermostats are easier to use but may not offer the same level of control. It's important to consider which option best suits your heating needs and the specific requirements of your home.
Settings for optimal heating
For optimal operation of your electric underfloor heating, it's crucial to use the correct settings on your thermostat. Start by setting the desired temperature to a comfortable level, for example, 21 degrees Celsius for living areas. It's also helpful to set a schedule so the heating automatically switches on and off when you're home.
By properly adjusting your thermostat to your daily routine, you can minimize energy consumption while still enjoying a comfortable warmth in your home. Remember to check the settings regularly and adjust them for seasonal changes.
Integration with smart home systems
A modern and efficient way to manage your electric underfloor heating is by integrating it with smart home systems. With the rise of smart technologies, you can easily control your thermostat from your smartphone or tablet, wherever you are.
This means you can adjust the temperature in your home even when you're away. Moreover, these systems can help you monitor and optimize your energy consumption. Integration with smart home technologies offers convenience and comfort, and allows you to adjust your heating to your lifestyle, contributing to a more efficient and energy-efficient home.
