    The Underfloor Heating Store

    I touched on this topic the other day and I have come across it again pricing up a pro warm kit. The 2.5m Mat 150w on there site - £165 with standard thermostat. The same kit on eBay sold by them. £125! Makes the 10% trade discount they offered me pretty pointless. Anyone else found this?
