Inslab Heating
Low Cost
Inslab heating is a highly popular, low-cost solution to heating polished or coloured concrete floors in new homes and extensions.
An electric heating element is installed after the reinforcing mesh has been added and prior to the concrete being poured.
Unlike other heating methods which provide rapid response heating, inslab heating is designed to provide gentle background warmth. Effective installation and correct operation and control will ensure maximum cost-effectiveness. Inslab heating can be installed in selected rooms, all of which allow individual control.

Inslab Preparation
Slab Preparation – Before We Arrive
- The polystyrene insulation and reinforcing mesh should be installed prior to our arrival on site for the installation.
- Clearly mark, using Dazzle spray or similar on the prepared slab, the actual areas to be heated. We cannot take responsibility for positioning of the heating if the areas are not clearly marked.
- Clearly mark all concrete cuts – whether for expansion or cosmetic purposes. Where appropriate (across concrete cuts) we will run our heating element underneath the reinforcing mesh. This may entail cutting of the mesh in selected areas.
- Clearly mark where the electrical controls are to be positioned. If no areas are marked we will make a “best guess” but take no responsibility for it being correct.
FAQs
Programming saves money because you do not unnecessarily heat your home when heating isn’t required, i.e. during the day while you’re at work. By lowering the heat during the day, you can realise significant savings: each 1ºC the temperature is lowered during an eight-hour period equals a savings of 2%.
If your room is well insulated and complies with modern insulation levels as set out in the current building regulations you should be able to use Warmtech Underfloor Heating as the sole heat source.
Warmtech has a range of specifically designed loose wire and matting heating systems for use under tile, natural stone and under carpet.
No specialist skills are required. The Warmtech system is designed so that any contractor, or competent do-it-yourselfer, can install it. The kit comes with a comprehensive installation manual should you need any assistance during installation.
A qualified electrician should always undertake the connection of the heater to the thermostat.
Undertile Heating Systems: The heater should not be made fully operational until such time as the tile or concrete installer has confirmed that the cement materials (i.e. adhesive & grout) are fully cured. This may be anything from 1 – 3 weeks. Turning the system on too early could lead to the cement drying out too quickly, creating an unstable subfloor.
Underlaminate Heating Systems: Once wired and tested, the system may be switched on immediately.
