Transform Areas with Hard Flooring into Havens of Warmth

As the winter chill sets in, there's nothing more inviting than stepping onto a warm floor, especially during those early mornings when the thought of leaving your cozy bed feels like a daunting task.

Adding Warmup undertile heating to bathrooms, kitchens, and tiled floors in renovations and new builds provides affordable warmth at a fraction of the cost of other underfloor heating options. Contrary to popular belief, undertile heating doesn't have to be a costly investment. Warmup prides itself on offering efficient heating solutions that are not only affordable to install but also economical to run. The weekly cost of heating an average bathroom will be less than a cup of coffee.

In terms of efficiency, Warmup’s BRANZ appraised undertile heating system is laid directly under tiles to avoid intermediary heat loss. Maximum effectiveness is achieved when used in conjunction with Marmox insulation boards. Not only does this produce a fantastic increase in the response time of the heating, but it also significantly improves energy efficiency and running costs.

Warmup Insulation Boards will save money by acting as a very efficient insulation barrier by reflecting the heat upwards into the room instead of allowing heat loss down through the sub-floor below. Offered in a sleek modern design, Warmup’s user-friendly thermostats provide seven-day, fully programmable control over your heating. By leveraging innovative technology and energy-efficient designs, Warmup ensures that homeowners can enjoy the benefits of heated floors without worrying about skyrocketing utility bills.

One of the key advantages of Warmup's undertile heating system is its ease of installation. Whether you're renovating a home or building from scratch, this system can be seamlessly integrated into the existing floor without the need for extensive construction work. The system is laid by Warmup’s trained installers, offering clients peace of mind and a lifetime warranty. Warmup offers undertile heating in easy-to-install DIY kits with user-friendly installation guides and customer support at your disposal, making the process hassle-free and convenient.

Warmup Undertile Heating is a system of low-temperature electric radiant elements which are laid directly under the floor covering and deliver luxurious and efficient heating for residential and commercial properties, including wet areas.

Warmup Undertile Heating has been appraised (BRANZ Appraisal 644 [2017]) for use in internal dry and wet areas of buildings within the following scope:

on structural substrates of concrete, plywood or compressed fibre cement sheet (excluding particle board flooring); and,
with optional floor overlays of fibre cement tile underlays or Warmup Insulation Backer Board; and,
when protected from physical damage by a screed and ceramic or stone tiles; and,
where floors are designed and constructed such that deflections do not exceed 1/360th of the span; and,
movement and control joints in the substrate must be carried through to the screed, tile or stone finish; and,
the design and construction of the movement and control joints is specific to the building and therefore the responsibility of the building designer and building contractor and is therefore outside this scope; and,
