Floor Heating Under Tiles

Tile and stone are ideal types of flooring to use with an underfloor heating system. All are excellent heat conductors, do not expand and contract a lot with heat and are highly resistant to warping or cracking, making porcelain, ceramic, or stone tiles a good choice for floor covering over radiant heating.

The under tile heating systems are 100% safe and waterproof. This makes Speedheat ultimately suitable for wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

Natural stone flooring types (marble tiles, slate, travertine, limestone, sandstone, granite, onyx) turn comfortably warm with the radiant heating system, bringing you comfort without compromising your choice of flooring. This modern solution is durable, reliable, safe and economical.

The Floor Build Up

The under tile electric floor heating element is installed on top of insulation boards or insulated screed (5 – 10mm floor insulation board) and secured with fibreglass mesh.

A protective screed is then applied and the floor is subsequently tiled.

Certain materials should preferably be avoided as sub-floors, due to numerous reasons. There is one crucial thing that applies to the fitting of all flooring types, before installation, remember to clean the sub-floor carefully, make it flat and ensure that it’s dry. If you overlook this, you may have floor failure. Care should be taken to allow for expansion and contraction of the sub-floor and the floor covering. 

It is important that some form of insulation be installed either on top of the builder’s screed or by using an insulating screed. 

Insulation decreases downward heat flow into the concrete slab or floor, thereby improving the response time and efficiency of your under tile heating system.
