Brand new to all of this but I need to go out and get my plumber/bathroom fitter an electric underfloor heating system. I have worked out from watching online videos etc that I need a 1sqm mat for my bathroom which has a radiator in, therefore it wont be the sole heating for the room. I have found it difficult in getting opinions or reviews on what brand to go for, im not too worried about just going for the cheapest just a good reliable one which can be used under tiles. The brands I have found so far are

Warmup
Elektra
Climatech

would really appreciate some thoughts and opinions on what one to go for

Thanks very much :yes:
 
Don't worry about the brand. They all do the same job. It is like picking a kettle out of argos without asking the wife. Anything will do because they will all work.
Also forget the working out from the video that you need 1m² of matting. You need whatever your free floor area is. If you have a rad or towel rail the underfloor is not there to heat the room (it is too expensive to run for that anyway don't believe the only costs 15p a day to run rubbish) Measure the floor space and buy the mat to suit the area. You really don't want cold spots as you will notice it if you leave any.
The point of underfloor in bathrooms is that it warms the tiles for your feet. You cover the floor area except under your sanitaryware and it is a comfort thing.
