Considering the cold weather we’ve been having, the last thing we want to do is get out of a deliciously warm bed and step onto the bathroom’s freezing floor, not an inviting way for anyone to wake up in the morning. Well, we can’t do much about the getting out of bed part. But there is something we can do about that oh-so-cold bathroom floor: bathroom underfloor heating. And the cost? That’s an underfloor heating FAQ we are happy to say has an affordable answer.

For heating under tiled bathroom floors, you can use Warmup’s Electric Underfloor Heat Mat System or the versatile loose wire system for small or irregular shaped areas. Made from the thinnest wire in the industry, Warmup heaters don’t raise bathroom floor levels, so no unslightly raised areas. Also Warmup’s wire-based systems are easily adjusted to fit around objects, such as a toilets, sinks or bathtubs. After all, you don’t need heating under these areas. The mat system required for heating a bathroom floor between 1.5 to 2 sqm would cost: £93.61 to 104.67.

Then you need a smart thermostat to operate your heating, Warmup’s sleek new 3iE thermostat retails for £139.99 and comes in a range of colours. The 3iE lets you programme your heating so that it comes on before you get up in the morning and switches off when you want. It even helps you monitor energy usage so you know exactly how much your warm bathroom floor costs to heat.

The next thing you might want to include are the Insulation Boards. Being water-proof and preventing heat loss, they are perfect for bathrooms (and kitchens). Warmup testing concluded that these insulation boards can cut heat-up times from 2.5 hours to just 20 minutes. That will save you both money and your feet from a chilly blast. Moreover, these boards can lower your overall bathroom floor heating costs by as much as 50 %. That means they can pay for themselves in about two and a half years. Bathroom Floor Heating cost for the insulation boards is: £61.47 for 2 sqm.

The total underfloor heating cost for a 1.5 to 2 sqm bathroom floor with insulation and the latest 3iE Thermostat? Only £295.07 to £306.13!

Plus a lifetime of warmth as all Warmup Underfloor Heating Mats are guaranteed for life!*
