SOCKS.Thanks for the replies, I didn't realise they went wrong so often. My parents have a small 1sqm patch on their ensuite and they have never had a problem. The only reason we wanted it was as the kitchen and lounge is all open plan, we wanted tiles, and they are freezing to stand on so just wanted something to keep them comfy to walk on, we are not looking to actually use it as a primary heating source. I like the idea of taking out a socket and using the space, I don't think we have any plans to have anything plugged into the socket we are looking to put the spur next to.
What normally goes wrong with them? Just poor quality parts / bad fitting? Or do they just go bad?
We had originally wanted to go for a wet system but the builders won't but it in and it would raise the floor to high and require a lot of work.
The area is about 20sqm but we only want the main parts where we will be walking so Im guessing we will ned about 15sqm, I was going to just use the 1 controller and 1 mat.
I know its going to cost quite a bit to run, our hopes were that as the house is so well insulated the central heating downstairs won't come on very often and with the insulation boards installed, the warmup times will be fairy quick and the underfloor heating system won't have to work too hard to keep the chill off the tiles.
Underfloor Heating does'nt break down, it gets damaged when floor surfaces are lifted or during laying of floor surfaces. We are an underfloor heating company and constantly do repairs. All you need to do is find a reputable company to assist if this happens.My advice is don't get underfloor heating, when it breaks down, and it will break down it will be a nightmare to repair
It doesnt break down? So you offer a lifetime warranty?Underfloor Heating does'nt break down, it gets damaged when floor surfaces are lifted or during laying of floor surfaces.

Okay fair enough, if true then I cannot argue with that. I wonder if make of mats make a difference, what do you install? or what makes have you been called out to look at? cheers fella.I've only Installed it one a couple of occasions, but I've been called out to it not working on many!
