Elements Wetrooms

Every watt of electricity is converted into heat energy. Couple that with a thermal insulation layer and energy saving heating control and you have an extremely efficient heating system. Electric underfloor heating distributes heat evenly throughout the room, radiating warmth from the floor up, eliminating cold spots. It only costs 14p to heat a 2.5m 2 bathroom in London for 3 hours a day! It costs 2.5p every time you boil a kettle. The new SAP 10 has reduced the electricity emission factor from 0.519 kgCO2/kWh to 0.233 kgCO2/kWh which is almost level with gas. Couple this with the gas boilers being phased out of new builds by 2025 makes the future of electric bright. Unlike convectional heating, you don‘t need to leave electric underfloor heating on for long periods to keep you warm. Responsive and on demand, it will heat up quickly when you need it, and turn off when you don‘t. When installed correctly, electric underfloor heating requires zero maintenance. But we would recommend a regular annual service especially before turning it on ready for winter. Don‘t forget that every ThermoSphere electric underfloor heating system comes with a lifetime warranty ! It‘s ideal for both renovations and new builds as it has minimal impact on the height of the floor. It also, doesn‘t not create additional loads on existing boiler/plumbing circuits. Electric heating makes for a very easy installation for complex areas because you have the freedom to place the cable where you like. This saves time, money, grey hairs and gives peace of mind for installers.
