Heated Polished Concrete Floors with In-Slab Floor Heating
Polished concrete floor finishes are a popular floor covering for modern homes. Our electric and hydronic in-slab heating systems will transform these naturally cold surfaces into luxurious warm floors.
Our electric in-slab heating uses electric heating cables embedded in a concrete slab floor to provide home heating. The slab stores the heat at night and releases it to provide continuous warmth to the home during the day. It also takes advantage of off-peak heating rates - and can be used in combination with other systems or as stand-alone heating using some day-rate energy.
In-slab heating is generally used in new constructions but can also be used on top of an existing slab - providing there is a sufficient top cover of new cement of at least 25cm.
The slab acts as a heat storage bank which warms up during off-peak times - while heat dissipates from the slab throughout the day. The system can also be set to come on for a pre-determined at-day rate as heating requirements increase towards the end of the day. Advantages of electric in-slab heating system include:
- Off peak storage heating
- Suits many different flooring surfaces including timber, stone, tiles, parquetry and low pile carpet
- Houses can be zoned so that each individual area that can be closed off with a door has its own thermostat allowing areas to be heated to different temperatures
- Residential or commercial applications
- Suited for new construction or concrete toppings
- Can be used as primary or secondary source for heating homes
- Affordably priced
- No maintenance
