Electric Underfloor Heating Systems

Our Snug Mats and Loose Cable are one of the easiest floor heating systems to install on the market today. The Snug Mats are mounted onto adhesive fabric mesh they stay flat as soon as they’re rolled out. Both systems utilise ultra-thin cable, at just 2mm thick, which needs minimal screed. Suitable for an extensive range of floor coverings from stone, to marble or tile. For carpet or wooden floors we’ve also created a super-thin foil Snug Mat FME.

We’ve designed all of our Snug electric underfloor heating systems to be as simple and stress free to install. No matter whether a DIY enthusiast or a specialist contractor, the desired results can be achieved, fast!

Water Underfloor Heating

Snug Underfloor Heating also caters for your water underfloor heating systems needs too, including Staple Systems, Clip Rail Systems, Castellation Mat Systems, Low-Profile Systems, Fit from Below and Suspended Floor Systems. Our Low-Profile systems are perfect for retrofit projects, at only 18mm deep and no need for levelling compound. Plus the Snug low-profile end plate is the most versatile on the market, easy to install in even an irregular shaped room.

We provide a full free design service, from pipe and board layouts to flow rates and full electrical schematics, 24 hour quotations and full product warranty’s with all of our systems. Plus, our technical support team are always on hand with friendly, straight forward advice should you need it.
