Electric Underfloor Heating is Perfect for DIY Renovation Strategy

Over the last 10 years there has been a significant increase in the popularity of apartment living. Developments containing one and two bedroom apartments are modern, ideally located close to amenities and particularly attractive to young, urban professionals. New build apartments often contain interesting (and sometimes unusual) layouts, creating design problems, but also opportunities. A modern development therefore requires a modern heating solution to suit. Traditional heating methods are neither suitable nor practical for apartment dwellings, and so this article deals with an emerging heating solution - electric underfloor heating.

Although there are two major types of underfloor heating (electric and warm water), the water heating system is not particularly suitable in apartments due to the constraints of multiple occupancy. These systems also require an extension to the existing plumbing system and can be complicated to install in new build developments. In addition, water systems are very expensive (as much as 3 times the price of the electrical version). On the other hand, electric underfloor heating requires no plumbing whatsoever and is the perfect solution for apartments. DIY enthusiasts can easily install it throughout an entire apartment block or even in a single apartment. The only requirement is access to the mains electricity supply.

Being both practical and aesthetically pleasing, electric underfloor heating is the perfect option not only for good DIY house renovation strategy, it's the heating system of choice for all new apartments. The small and attractive controller, which can be mounted on any wall, allows users to control the temperature within the apartment at the touch of a button. And with a wide range of custom heating mats, cables and controllers available for purchase online, all the necessary equipment you require is both accessible and affordable.
