Stepping onto a warm tile floor on a cold winter morning is one of the small luxuries that make a bathroom renovation truly worthwhile. In York, where older properties can be notoriously draughty, underfloor heating (UFH) has become an increasingly popular request for our bathroom fitters. It frees up wall space by eliminating the need for bulky radiators.
There are two main types of UFH: electric (dry) and water-based (wet). Electric systems use heating mats or cables beneath the tiles and are easier and cheaper to install during a standard bathroom renovation. Water-based systems are hooked into your central heating and, while more expensive to install, often have lower running costs over time.
Pairing underfloor heating with high-quality porcelain or natural stone tiles is highly recommended, as these materials retain and conduct heat beautifully. When you consult with our expert team at BathroomMaster York, we will assess your subfloor and recommend the best system for your home and budget.
