Whether you are renovating a single room or building a new extension, we can help you create a warm, durable and stylish tiled floor designed to last for many years.

Electric Underfloor Heating

Electric underfloor heating systems use heating mats or cables installed beneath the tiles. They are particularly popular in bathrooms, en-suites, kitchens and smaller rooms where a fast and straightforward installation is required.

These systems are controlled using programmable thermostats, allowing homeowners to heat rooms only when required and maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the day.

Wet Underfloor Heating Systems

Wet systems, also known as hydronic underfloor heating, circulate warm water through pipes installed beneath the floor surface. They are often used in larger rooms, open-plan living spaces, extensions and new-build properties.

These systems can be connected to conventional boilers, heat pumps and renewable heating technologies, providing an efficient and economical heating solution for larger properties. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Tiling Over Underfloor Heating

Not all tiling materials and adhesives are suitable for heated floors. As temperatures change, floors naturally expand and contract, which can place stress on tiles and grout if the wrong products are used.

Raven Tiling uses specialist flexible adhesives, grouts and preparation materials designed specifically for use with underfloor heating systems, helping to ensure a durable and long-lasting installation. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Why Tiles Are Ideal for Underfloor Heating

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are among the best floor coverings for underfloor heating because they conduct heat efficiently and retain warmth for longer than many alternative flooring materials.

This allows heat to transfer evenly throughout the room while providing a hard-wearing, low-maintenance and attractive floor finish.
