Are you upgrading your floors and sifting through your list of options? Hard floors, such as tiles or laminates have become increasing popular in recent times, boasting qualities such as durability, low maintenance and ease of cleaning. But one of the main drawbacks that keeps popping up is the coldness. After all, who wants to step out of bed or from a lovely warm bath onto piercing chilled floor tiles? Not I!

Keep those frostbites at bay and turn your floors into a large, comfortable radiator with the wonderful invention of underfloor heating.

 

Schlüter DITRA-HEAT-E-DUO-S

 

Schlüter-Systems have an amazing underfloor heating which is a cut above all the rest… Its name: DITRA-HEAT-E-DUO-S. The superior product cares for your tiles as well as your toes. Its remarkable uncoupling matting eliminates the need for a self-levelling compound and prevents cracks in the finished installation.

Attaching the heating cables is easy; they simply fit within the studded design of the matting without the need to get out a tape measure or fiddly sticky tape. You can custom-design the placement of the cables, avoiding heating areas which will never be walked on, hence saving electricity, and directing the heat where it’s needed more.

The waterproof membrane and relatively high water vapour diffusion seal protect the substrate from moisture damage. There is a special anchoring fleece on the underside which gives an impact sound reduction of 13dB as well as a faster heat-up response.

Another nifty feature is the smart WiFi-enabled thermostat, famously known for reducing energy costs. Simply download the free Schlüter-HEAT-CONTROL app from the Apple iOS or Android marketplace and you’ll be able to control your heating remotely.

All these features are packed into a small space and the additional height to your floor can be as little as 7.5mm. The traditional layers needed for heated floor assembly are all contained within the thin DITRA-HEAT-E system.
