How does it work?
The best way to explain what electric underfloor heating is and how it works is essentially when turned on, wires installed underneath the surface will start to warm up and rise through the floor. This will give you the lovely feeling of a warm and toasty bathroom floor when you wake up. As heat rises this will then warm up the rest of the room.
You tend to see electric underfloor heating in bathrooms and kitchens. This is because usually they already have hard floors which can make the rooms feel colder in winter. This is when underfloor heating would be a great benefit.
