Q: Is carpet suitable for underfloor heating?

Carpet is ideal for underfloor heating as it is safe, takes up no space has a fast response time.

Q: Do I need a special underlay with carpet underfloor heating?

No special underlay is required when installing underfloor heating. Comfort Heat foil mats are taped onto your standard underlay product range before the carpet is laid.

Q: Can I heat just in front of my couch with carpet underfloor heating?

You can heat small areas within a large room remembering it will probably not warm the ambient room temperature. Rooms require a certain amount of heating to warm the ambient temperature, calculated on the size and heat loss of a room. Under carpet heating can be installed around beds in bedrooms so long as you don’t move the bed, as this will result in cold areas on the floor.

Q: How long does under carpet heating take to heat up?

Underfloor carpet heating systems warm quickly in around 15-30min. The foil mat quickly radiates up through the carpet creating a consistent and comfortable temperature.

The Comfort Heat under carpet heating mats are ideal for small to large areas with carpet flooring, as the thin foil mats are undetectable underfoot. A popular option for bedrooms, as under-carpet heating is very safe, takes up no space and warms quickly in around 15-30 mins.

The under-carpet foil mats are taped directly onto the carpet underlay with carpet laid over the top.

The Comfort Heat foil mat system is designed to evenly distribute heat under the carpet, creating a blanket of radiant heat from the ground up.
