Choosing the perfect underfloor heating tiles for your home

Everything you need to know about underfloor heating

If you are feeling the cold in your home, you may be thinking of installing underfloor heating to warm up your toes in the morning and take the chill out of the air. When looking into underfloor heating, you may be confused by your available choices, including which underfloor heating tiles are the best for your home. Aylesbury Tile Centre looks at what you need to know before choosing the best heating product and which tiles would benefit your home. 

Types of underfloor heating and how it works

Underfloor heating typically comes in two forms, each with its own benefits. Both options will add a sense of style to your home without the need for bulky radiators and will, of course, keep your floors toasty warm on those cold winter mornings. Both types of underfloor heating come with thermostats to keep an eye on the temperature and make changes depending on your needs. They also both use a regulator to keep your heating on an even keel. 

Electric underfloor heating is also known as dry underfloor heating and runs from your electricity points. This heating choice doesn’t use water to heat your home and has been popular for floors across the UK. Water underfloor heating runs from your water mains and connects to a boiler. As it’s connected to your boiler, your water temperature is regulated, meaning your pipes won’t get too hot. Water based underfloor heating is becoming more popular in homes throughout the UK. 

Choosing the best underfloor heating tiles for your room

Now that we have looked at what underfloor heating is, it’s time to decide which underfloor heating tiles would be perfect for your home. It can be challenging to know where to start with so many choices! The best floor coverings to use with underfloor heating are harder surfaces, as they transfer heat more effectively. This means avoiding carpets if you plan to install underfloor heating. Stone or ceramic tiles are a perfect choice as they don’t have as much resistance to heat transfer, meaning you will feel the effects more consistently. 

Underfloor heating tile choices: 

Stone tiles – these tiles are incredibly thermally conductive so that you will feel the heat much quicker. 

Ceramic tiles – ceramic tiles transfer heat quickly from the heating tube to the surface, much like stone tiles. 

Limestone – Limestone will work well with underfloor heating but requires a lot of care and attention. 

Slate – If you are looking for a beautiful finish for your floor, slate is a great choice and works well with underfloor heating.

Marble – Another great underfloor heating tile, marble can be used with varying levels of thickness over your heating tubes. 

Underfloor heating tiles are a great practical choice, and they are also easy to clean and maintain, particularly in heavy traffic areas of your home like the bathroom and kitchen. Working with a reputable tile supplier like Aylesbury Tile Centre means you will have access to the advice and experience you need when deciding which underfloor heating tiles would be great in your home. You will need to make decisions depending on your budget and the style you are looking to achieve – all things your tile supplier can support you with. 

The benefits of using underfloor heating tiles 

Underfloor heating has been around for a long time, and its popularity has grown in recent years. As you might know, underfloor heating can be a great addition to any home or business. It can provide you with a constant, comfortable temperature and add visual appeal to any space. While floor heating is simple to install and can be an excellent choice for areas like bathrooms and kitchens, before you invest in underfloor heating and the perfect tiles, you need to know how this installation will benefit you and your home.
