About this product
The ProWarm Electric Underfloor Heating Mat Kit provides a sophisticated solution for warming larger rooms and open-plan living spaces. This kit incorporates high-quality ETFE insulation heating cables constructed from premium Fluoropolymer material, ensuring durability and longevity. The mats are 500mm wide, making them suitable for installations in a range of kitchen layouts.
This system is designed to deliver even heat distribution across your entire floor – a significant advantage over traditional radiator heating which tends to focus warmth on specific areas. It’s particularly well-suited for those with kitchens or open-plan living rooms spanning up to 12 square metres, and can be installed directly under tiles or other floor coverings thanks to the mat's incredibly thin 2mm cable construction; this allows for a straight tile lay over the heating element.
The 150W per square metre power output is energy efficient, contributing to reduced running costs. The system operates on a 24-volt supply and offers a flexible installation option. However, please note that a thermostat is required to control the temperature – this is typically sold separately depending on the kit variant.
For optimal performance and safety, we recommend that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Careful consideration should be given to ensuring that the system is correctly wired and connected before use.
