Underfloor Heating Cable

Electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is a system that consists of a thin and flexible cable that comes on a drum and can be laid under the floor manually. You can adjust the spacing of the cable to suit the shape and size of your floor area and connect it to a thermostat. The cable emits heat when electricity passes through it, creating a cosy and even temperature throughout the room.

Our electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is ideal for bathrooms and other irregular-shaped rooms, as you can tailor the system to your specific needs. You can also choose from different power outputs, depending on your heating needs and floor type.

Our electric underfloor heating loose cable kit works with a wide range of floor finishes, including tiles and stone, laminate, engineered wood (floated or glued), vinyl (luxury vinyl tiles), lino, carpets with underlay (max tog 2.5 combined). Please note that when laid under wood, vinyl, or carpet, the maximum kit power output is 150W and a 10mm bed of levelling compound is required.

How to Choose the Right Electric Underfloor Heating Loose Cable Kit

We offer three power outputs for our electric underfloor heating loose cable kit:

200 watts per square metre: This is the most powerful option in our electric underfloor heating loose cable kit range. This is suitable for rooms that require a high heat output, such as conservatories or areas with bi-fold doors. Kit sizes range from 0.6m2 to 18m2.
150 watts per square metre: This is suitable for most projects that require a primary heat source in well-insulated areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, or kitchens. It can be used as your main source of heat as long as you have enough insulation. Kits come in sizes from 0.75m2 to 24m2.
100 watts per square metre: Provides a cost-effective floor warming system and is used to cover larger areas. Not recommended as a primary heating source; only for use as secondary heating under tiled floors. Kit sizes vary from 1.15m2 to 36m2.

After selecting your desired power output, you can choose the coverage from 1m2 to 36m2 to fit your room size and shape. You can adjust the spacing of the cable to suit the floor area and layout and connect it to a thermostat.

Within each kit, you have the option of choosing a thermostat, including Wi-Fi, digital, or no thermostat. A thermostat is a device that controls the temperature of the system and allows you to set your preferred heating schedule and mode.

What are the Benefits of Electric Underfloor Heating Loose Cable Kit?

Electric underfloor heating loose cable kit has many benefits, such as:

Ideal solution for bathrooms: An electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is the perfect solution for bathrooms, as it can create a warm and comfortable floor that is ideal for bare feet. It can also prevent mould and mildew growth, as it can dry the floor quickly and reduce the humidity level.
Cost-effective retrofit solution: You can also save on your energy bills, as the electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is more efficient and cheaper to run than conventional radiators.
Suitable for tile and other floor finishes: Electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is versatile and adaptable, as it can work with a range of floor finishes, from tiles to carpets. You can also mix and match different floor finishes in different rooms, depending on your preference and budget.
Minimum floor build-ups from 2mm: The electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is thin and discreet, as it only adds a minimum of 2mm to the floor height. This means that you do not have to worry about any door or furniture clearance issues or any changes to the floor level or appearance.
Easy install: The electric underfloor heating loose cable kit is simple and quick to install, as it comes on a drum and can be spaced out manually to fit the floor area, and it does not require any major floor excavation or plumbing work. You can simply lay the cable on the existing floor and cover it with your chosen floor finish, following our easy-to-use installation guide. However, you will need a qualified electrician to connect your heating cable to your property’s electrical circuit to comply with UK building regulations.

*Delivery to non-Industrial Scotland, Northern Ireland, and CH, LL, and CA postcodes can sometimes take slightly longer, although this is dependent upon the exact location.

If we are unable to deliver your order within the above timeframe for any reason, we will contact you to arrange an alternative delivery day. We use overnight carriers, so we are unable to arrange or confirm an exact time of delivery.

Some special or non-stocked items on our website have extended lead-times, which are displayed on the product pages in question – see below for more details.

Whilst every reasonable effort shall be made to keep to a delivery date, we cannot be held liable for any losses, costs, damages, or expenses arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date.

In the unlikely event of a late delivery, we will be unable to compensate you for any consequential loss, so please do not organise any plant or labour before you have received your materials.

DELIVERY CHARGES AND EXTENDED LEAD TIMES

Orders over £1,000 excluding VAT will be delivered free of charge. Orders under this amount will incur a charge of £15.00 + VAT. This applies to most stocked items and some items that are supplied directly from manufacturers. Orders of stocked items are generally delivered in 1-3 working days.

Some stocked items will incur a bulky or pallet charge due to their extreme weights or lengths:

Bulky items - £45.00 + VAT charge placed on orders that contain one or more bulky products. These items will be marked as bulky during the checkout process.
Palletised items - £60.00 + VAT charge placed on orders that contain one or more items that need to be sent and delivered via a pallet. These items will be marked as palletised during the checkout process.

A full list of stocked items can be found here.

Certain items, usually those sent direct from manufacturers, incur additional delivery charges and an extended lead time regardless of the order value, due to the restrictions placed upon us by our carrier and the extreme weights/lengths. These charges are applied instead of the standard £15.00 + VAT charge if the order is valued under £1,000 excluding VAT.

The following product ranges have extended lead times or incur additional delivery charges. Please click on each individual range for specific details.

SPLIT DELIVERIES

If you have ordered a mixture of goods that come both from us and direct from our manufacturing partners, you will be advised of this in your dispatch email. As the order is coming from two locations, you will receive two different deliveries. Delivery on direct items can have extended lead times and will need someone present to check and sign for the goods.

Occasionally, we don't have all items in stock at our main warehouse. If this is the case, we will endeavour to send the stock the same day from one of our other branches, in order to not delay delivery of the complete order. This may lead to a split delivery, dependant on the courier being used. We will contact you if there is going to be a delay due to this.

LABOUR AND MACHINERY

Please do not book machinery or labour until your goods have been received and checked over. Whilst every effort is made by our couriers to deliver your parcel within the stated timeframe, Professional Building Supplies cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred by delays outside of our control.

CHECKING AND SIGNING FOR ORDERS

SIGNED FOR POLICY – T&CS

All orders should be signed for. If you are unable to sign for your delivery, you can arrange with us for a neighbour to take delivery of your order. You can also advise us of a safe place where your order can be left, although we cannot take responsibility for any shortages or obvious damages.

Please ensure that you always check the number of packages that you are signing for. If there is an incorrect number of packages or any package appears damaged, you should note this on the signature panel and advise us so that we can rectify the issue as quickly as possible. Once goods have been signed for as being received ‘complete and in good condition’, any claims are not covered by the carrier’s insurance company.

Signing for goods as ‘unchecked’ makes any claims inadmissible, so please check the number of packages and look for any signs of any damage, noting any issues on the signature panel. Although the delivery drivers are busy, they are contractually obliged to wait whilst you check your delivery.

WHAT IF I CAN’T WAIT IN ALL DAY?

There is a ‘Notes’ section of the Basket review page where you can request for your goods to be left in a safe location – just tell us where to leave the order. Please not that we cannot take responsibility for any shortages or obvious damages if goods have not been signed for.

Please note that deliveries made by DHL (these are generally small orders with no pipe or bulky products) cannot be left in a safe location. You will be advised which carrier will be delivering your order by email at the point of dispatch.
