Electric Underfloor Heating Kits
An electric underfloor heating kit is the heating mat or cable plus a thermostat with its floor sensor. Every Living Heat system can be bought as a kit: choose the system that suits your floor, pick the size, then add the thermostat as you order. Insulation boards are sold separately, and a qualified electrician makes the final connection.

Which electric underfloor heating kit for your floor?
Heating mat kits
For tiles and stone. The cable comes fixed to a mesh roll, so it’s the quickest to lay. 150W/m² or 200W/m², with a lifetime warranty when installed correctly.
Loose wire kits
For tiles and stone in awkward shaped rooms. You lay the cable by hand to follow the room. Lifetime warranty when installed correctly.
Foil mat kits
For laminate, engineered wood and LVT. Installs dry over insulation underlay, with no adhesive. 15-year warranty.
In-screed cable kits
Laid into a new screed, so it suits new builds and extensions where a new floor is going down anyway.
Building your kit
- Measure the open floor. Leave out baths, toilets and fitted units, and aim to cover around 80 to 85% of what’s left.
- Choose the output. 150W/m² is fine for most rooms on insulation. 200W/m² if the floor will be the main heat or the room loses heat quickly.
- Add a thermostat when you pick your size, from the M1 dial to the Wi5 WiFi thermostat. Compare thermostats.
- Add insulation. Tile backer or XPS boards under tiles, Impact Plus or XPS under foil mats. See underfloor heating insulation.
- Book an electrician for the final connection. You can lay the heating yourself on a basic installation.
