Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating, also known as radiant floor heating, delivers gentle, even warmth from the ground up for unmatched comfort and energy efficiency. This category brings together tools, components, and accessories for both electric underfloor heating and hydronic (water-based) systems—covering everything from design and layout to installation, testing, and smart control. Benefits include consistent room temperatures, silent operation, reduced dust circulation, space-saving removal of radiators, and lower running costs, especially with low-temperature heat sources like heat pumps.

You’ll find electric UFH mats and loose cables, programmable and smart Wi‑Fi thermostats with floor probes, insulation boards, decoupling membranes, and self-leveling compounds for quick, reliable floor warming in bathrooms, kitchens, and retrofits. For hydronic underfloor heating, explore PEX/PERT pipe coils, manifolds with flow meters and actuators, mixing sets, pumps, balancing valves, and controls for multi-zone management in larger areas and whole-home systems.

The right tools speed installation and improve results. Popular picks include pipe uncoilers, tacker guns and staples, clip rails, crimp/press tools, manifold wrenches, pressure test kits, flushing and filling pumps, infrared thermometers, thermal imaging cameras for commissioning, multimeters and insulation testers for electric circuits, notched trowels, screed mixers, and laser layout tools. Use RCD/GFCI protection and follow local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Record cable resistance and insulation values before, during, and after laying; pressure test hydronic loops and manifolds prior to screeding or covering.

Plan your radiant floor heating with a heat loss calculation, proper subfloor preparation, and high-quality insulation boards to boost efficiency. Choose electric underfloor heating for small rooms and fast retrofits; choose hydronic for large zones and lower operating costs. Confirm floor covering compatibility (tile, stone, engineered wood, laminate, and low‑tog carpets) and consider low-profile overlay panels for minimal build-up height.

Browse UFH installation tools, underfloor heating manifolds, thermostats, and smart heating controls to design, install, and maintain a reliable, energy-efficient underfloor heating system tailored to your space.
