Whats the difference between in-slab and under-tile heating?
In-slab heating uses heating cables embedded in a concrete slab floor to provide heating. The slab stores the heat at night and releases it to provide continuous warmth during the day. Generally in-slab heating systems are considered for new buildings or projects where they can installed when the slab is poured (although they can also be used in renovations and fitted to some existing buildings). ยป more on in-slab heating Under-tile heating is a floor heating system designed more for existing homes with either cement or timber floors where the heating is provided by cables or heating mats in screed (and often under tiles). This type of heating is also known as ‘demand heating’ due to its ability to heat up quickly – which makes it very popular for use in tiled areas – such as bathrooms.
