Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor. Heating is achieved by conduction, radiation and convection. Use of underfloor heating dates back to the Neoglacial and Neolithic periods.

    Electrical Underfloor Heating

    Hi All, Anyone know of any other ways to tile over Electircal Underfloor Heating except latex over it? I have seen Schluter Ditra Matting have made deeper notches to fit the wire in but it is probably more expensive?
