Heating Foils

Install our harmoni SmartMat heating foils under carpet, laminate floors and vinyl floors. These are an ultra-thin electric floor heating system which are great for warming hardwood floors or carpeted areas. They work by emitting EMF radiation which is safe and complies with electric and building regulations. Element Shop’s range spans from 1 m² to 24 m². This means we will be able to cater for a wide variety of sized rooms.

Loose Lay cables

Loose wire systems are ideal for small, irregular shaped areas and work well for areas that require a precise installation. Areas such as bathrooms and twisting hallways are ideal for this system. The flex cable is free flowing and spread in an even manner across the space.

In-screed cables

Cables offer a heating solution which is affordable & comfortable. They are great for new builds & extensions as they take longer to heat up. This is because they need to sit under 50 mm of sand and cement screed. This is easier to do in a new build than an existing property. For invisible heating, in-screed cables are an excellent option. Their power provides underfloor heating for thick tiles and flag-stones.

Thermostats

Element Shop supplies thermostats which compliment underfloor heating units. We offer a wide range. These include touch screen and smart thermostats. Thermostats allow the user to programme custom settings. They can raise or lower the temperature of apparatus.

Insulation boards

We stock insulation boards for tiled floors which provide resistance to moisture and add extra thermal insulation. These help to reduce the moisture content in your flooring.

Wet underfloor heating or electric

We all know that every project is different. Many factors determine which system you prefer.
