Bathroom Underfloor Heating

[Harden Long]

Hi
I am not sure if I am posting in the correct place -I posted it in plumbing but it was suggested it might be better here so here goes

I am redoing 2 bathrooms and want underfloor heating (probably electric)

In my last place we put down devi-mat and to be honest I didn't think much of it

Now it could have been faulty or badly laid (variable cold spots on the floor) but I am wondering if there is " gold standard" make of underfloor heating to be used ??
Thanks

Dave

If its electric heating you are looking for then the plumbing forum wont be much help.!

If there are cold spots then it wasnt laid properly.

There's quite a few makers. Some have the element already stuck on a grid, others have a wire that you staple onto the floor.

Warmup is not too bad.

Thanks TTC-I guess I hadn't thought it through as to which forum to post on!

I wondered what the advantages of electric underfloor heating compared to "wet" UF heating is ??

yup, underfloor heating can be great, or cr@p. Install it properly and you'll never have problems. I've seen some really bad attempts.

with either if it goes wrong, up comes the floor, what do you mean the tiles got broken?

have a rad and slippers, much easier

The tiles were fine-it was just that the heat wasn't consistent across the floor-some nice warm toasty tiles, some were cold

I know what you're saying but boy it is lovely.......
