Electric underfloor comfort heating

Supplementary floor heating

DEVI provides electric underfloor comfort heating systems that deliver warm floor surfaces, programmable temperature control, and compatibility with existing heating systems for renovations and new-build projects.

Comfort electric underfloor heating is a floor-based heating solution used in homes, apartments and commercial buildings to provide comfortable, energy-efficient indoor heating, solution (heating cable, heating mats) designed to complement an existing heating system, when additional comfort is desired. Installed beneath the floor surface, it provides floor-based heating that can be used alongside radiators, heat pumps or central heating systems, depending on the building design and heating requirements. Solutions are available for both heating for renovations and heating for new builds, depending on floor construction, project requirements and installation conditions. Comfort heating systems typically operate at around 100 W/m² of installed power.
When combined with programmable thermostats and floor sensors, comfort heating systems can be configured according to daily usage patterns and room requirements. Users can define: operating schedules, temperature settings, day and night programmes, occupancy-based heating periods. The system operates according to the selected control settings and installation configuration.
 
Typical applications: bathrooms, kitchens, entrance halls, living rooms, hotel rooms, residential renovation projects etc.

Case stories

FAQs

  • Warm-up time depends on several factors, including:

    - The type of heating system installed
    - The floor construction
    - The floor covering
    - The thickness of the screed or concrete layer
    - The operating temperature and control settings

    Systems installed directly beneath tiles may respond differently from systems installed within thicker floor constructions. Actual response times depend on the design and conditions of the installation.

  • Most homes today still rely on heating systems designed over 70 years ago. Radiators were a genuine technological step forward when they were introduced, but they were never designed with modern open-plan living, minimalist interiors, or energy efficiency in mind. They heat the air near the walls, that warm air rises to the ceiling, and the floor — the surface you actually live on — remains cold. 
    The warmth never quite reaches the places where people sit, stand, or play. You turn up the thermostat, the ceiling gets warmer, the energy bill rises, and the floor stays cold. It is a cycle that many homeowners accept as simply inevitable — but it is not. 

  • Electric floor heating can be installed in nearly every room in a home, and it is compatible with most modern floor coverings including tiles, laminate, engineered wood, vinyl, and carpet. However, some spaces benefit more dramatically than others — and understanding this helps you prioritise where to invest first.

     

  • Bathrooms - The single most popular application for underfloor heating. Warm tiles after a shower transform the experience completely. As a bonus, heated floors dry faster and reduce ambient humidity, which helps prevent mould and damp.

    Living rooms - Provides uniform comfort across large spaces without any visible heating devices. Furniture can be placed freely, and the entire floor becomes a gentle radiator. Particularly effective in openplan layouts where traditional radiators struggle to heat evenly.

    Children's rooms - Children spend far more time at floor level than adults. Warm floors make playtime more comfortable, and there are no hot radiator surfaces to worry about. The stable, low-level warmth is also ideal for younger children and babies.

    Hallways & Entrances - Often the coldest areas in a home, especially in older properties. A heated hallway creates a genuinely welcoming atmosphere in winter and dries wet floors and boots far more quickly after coming in from outside.
