Underfloor Heating by Type

Check how quickly you want the floor to warm and how cold the room tends to be, 150 W/m² mats (the ProWarm 2 m² 150 W mat) give gentler, steady heat and suit smaller or well-insulated rooms, while 200 W/m² StickyMat systems (Warmup StickyMat 200 W/m² in 2 m² or 3 m² sizes) deliver stronger output for colder rooms or where you need faster warm-up. If you have underfloor insulation boards, a 150 W/m² solution often performs very efficiently; if insulation is limited or the room is a draughty ground-floor bathroom, step up to 200 W/m². Think about your floor finish and heating habits: if you use the room briefly and want near-instant warmth, 200 W/m² is a sensible choice.

Measure the usable floor area where you can place the heating (exclude fixed units like cabinets or toilets) and choose the nearest mat size to cover that area, a 2 m² mat suits a small ensuite, a 3–3.5 m² mat fits many standard family bathrooms, and larger spaces can use 4–10 m² StickyMat rolls. our range stocks incremental sizes (1 m², 2 m², 2.5 m², 3 m², 3.5 m², 4 m², 6 m², 10 m²), so you can match the mat to the actual clear floor area without excessive trimming. If your usable area falls between standard sizes, select the next size up and plan the uncovered margin with your fitter.

Insulation boards are worth having if you want faster warm-up times and reduced heat loss, because they direct heat upwards into the room rather than downwards into the subfloor. The range includes insulation boards designed specifically to boost performance and efficiency when paired with electric mats or cables. in a bathroom over a concrete slab adding an insulation board can make a 150 W/m² mat feel as responsive as a higher-output system without increasing running costs.

Choose an underfloor heating thermostat designed for electric systems, the range here includes room thermostats that give precise temperature control and help manage energy use. Look for models that support a floor sensor cable (sold as accessories) if you want accurate floor-temperature control rather than air-temperature only. A programmable thermostat lets you set schedules so the mat (a Warmup StickyMat) runs only when needed, saving energy.

Essential accessories include fixing kits to secure mats, sensor cables for thermostats, and appropriate insulation boards to improve efficiency; our range lists sensor cables and fixing kits alongside StickyMat and DCM-Pro cable systems. If you prefer a loose‑laid cable system instead of a mat, the Warmup DCM‑Pro cables are available in sizes such as 2 m² (300 W), 5 m² (750 W) and 10 m² (1500 W), so pick the cable length rated for your area. Including these items up front keeps the project straightforward and ensures the system performs as intended.
