Heated Floors
Floor heating is the modern heating solution – creating the perfect temperature, making you feel warm and comfortable from the moment you enter the room.
A Greener Way to Heat Your Home
Homes heated with underfloor heating are more comfortable and up to 40% more efficient than those using traditional central heating systems. Warmup floor heaters offer a low-carbon heating solution and utilize radiant heat technology to warm people in a space with infrared energy, rather than just warming the air. This means the same feeling of warmth can be achieved with lower temperatures, which reduces heat loss and improves energy-efficiency.
With over 25 years of innovation and expertise, Warmup products have been installed in over 2.5 million homes across the world and are trusted for their high-quality design and market-leading warranties. A Warmup system provides a cleaner, smarter, and often more affordable way to heat your home.
Warmup Tips
Will installing a system help with my home’s interior design?
With no bulky radiators or exposed piping taking up valuable wall and floor space, UFH provides an ‘invisible’ heating solution. It allows you to have much greater freedom with your interior design so you can really make your home a sanctuary with no style compromises.
Will a floor heater help to improve the air quality of my home?
Replacing your central heating system with a floor heater can assist in removing the potential stuffiness from a room, as underfloor heating never overheats a space. Radiators also tend to circulate dust around a room whereas floor heating does not – giving you cleaner, clearer air.
Our wide range of products help bring discreet warmth to your home, no matter the size and scope of your project or your chosen floor finish.

Is underfloor heating better than radiators?
Underfloor heating offers several advantages over traditional radiators. It provides a more uniform temperature distribution, eliminates cold spots, and operates silently. Furthermore, it frees up wall space, giving your home a cleaner, more modern look. For a comprehensive comparison of these heating options, visit our blog on Underfloor Heating vs. Radiators – The Key Differences.
How long does underfloor heating take to warm up?
The heat-up times for underfloor heating can vary based on the type of system, flooring, and insulation. For instance, an electric underfloor heating system like the Warmup StickyMat System installed over ¾” plywood takes about 30 minutes to heat from 60°F to 80°F. For water-based systems, the heat-up time can vary depending on the heating setup and room size. Proper insulation and the use of a thermostat can enhance efficiency and reduce heat-up times.
The heating system will take longer to heat up to an optimal temperature when it is first turned on from totally cold.
What temperature should underfloor heating be set at?
The ideal temperature setting for underfloor heating can vary depending on the type of room, your flooring finish and personal comfort preferences. Generally, for wood, carpets and vinyl flooring, we recommend a maximum heat temperature of 27 degrees and for stone and tiled floors, a slightly higher temperature of 29 degrees can be used. Using a Smart thermostat can help you maintain these temperatures efficiently and save up to 25% on your annual energy bills.
Should you turn off underfloor heating in the summer?
Generally, it’s a good idea to reduce your heating usage in the warmer months of the year. Turning it off can save energy and lower your utility bills.
Is electric or water underfloor heating better?
The choice depends on your heating requirements:
- Electric Underfloor Heating: Best for smaller areas or individual rooms. It’s easier and cheaper to install than a water UFH system and will heat up quickly. These systems are perfect for retrofitting in existing buildings. Learn more about retrofitting underfloor heating.
- Water Underfloor Heating: More efficient for larger areas or entire homes and typically recommended for new build projects and major renovations.
