How to Measure up

Quotation and sizing tool

Step 1. - Calculating Total Area


Measure the length and width of your room, In this example the bathroom is 3m x 4m giving a total of 12m2 .

Total Area

Width 3m
Length 4m
Total Area 12m2

Step 2. - Calculating Unheated Areas

Quotation and sizing tool

When installing underfloor heating you have to ensure that the heat can escape into the room. When calculating the heated area we deduct any fixed furniture such as kitchen cupboards. In this example we will deduct the bath, basin, shower tray toilet and cupboard, the unheated area.

Total Unheated Area

Bath 1.4m2
Sink and toilet 1m2
Shower and Cupboard 1.7m
Total Unheated Area 4.1m2

Step 3 - Calculating heated Areas

Quotation and sizing tool

The heated area is calculated by taking the unheated areas away from the total area. In this case:

Total heated Area

Total Area 12m2
Total Unheated Area 4.1m2
Total Heated Area 7.9m2

Step 4. - Product Selection and Sizing

Quotation and sizing tool

Mats are selected at 90% of the total heated area allowing room for the required spacing around the perimeter of the room and between the mat on it's return.

In this example the area is 7.1m2 for mat installation, rounded down to the nearest kit size of 7m2.

Insulation boards - 110% of the total heated area requirement due to the wastage when cutting.

Product Selection

Mat Area selection 7.1m2
Insulation Board Area Selection 8.7m2
