Under floor heating is creating huge waves in the home heating scene, becoming ever more popular for its gentle, even heat.  However, if you don’t have the ability to lay a full under floor heating system, you can get the next best thing by installing floor heating underlay mats.  Here’s everything you need to know.

About Floor Heating Underlay Mats

Floor heating underlay mats are special heating units that are designed to be placed directly underneath your rugs but on top of your existing hard floors or even carpets.  The purpose of the mats is to warm the area where the rug is laid as well as to improve the warmth of the room as a whole.  Floor heating underlay mats come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit all different types of rugs. For example, you can get mats that fit underneath hall runners, or that fit under rugs that are round, square or rectangular.  You can buy mats that exactly fit the rug or that are a bit smaller than the rug.

Benefits of Floor Heating Underlay Mats

Floor heating underlay mats are a great solution in just about any home for a number of reasons.  Firstly, these mats are quite affordable to buy and are also affordable to run.  This means that you don’t have to worry about the cost of purchasing the mat or be surprised when your electricity bill comes!  They are also truly portable, and can be placed under rugs anywhere in your home – in the living room, in the bedrooms, in the hall, in your home office or anywhere else you like.  Want to move your rug?  Just move your floor heating underlay mat with it!  This is possible as the mats come with a long power cord that can be safely hidden out of the way.

Floor heating underlay mats are also a great choice for those people that get cold feet easily or that want a little bit more warmth in the home.  The mats will make your rugs absolutely toasty warm and cosy to walk on, and the heat will gently radiate up off the mat and into the air making the room as a whole more comfortable. This is absolutely ideal in winter where there is nothing worse than stepping onto freezing cold floors in bare feet, or if you don’t want to wear heavy slippers all day, every day.
