Under Floor Heating
Allbrite offer three different types of easy install primary heat underfloor heating systems. We supply and install cable mat underfloor heating, carbon film underfloor heating, and flat ribbon under floor heating systems. We are suppliers of AHT and Domoteck, we also supply all the necessary ancillary items required for installation such as overboard to give a smooth surface to lay the floor covering on, thermostats and other electrical accessories. Allbrite are NICEIC registered, we know how important it is to have the right products for the job.
Because under floor heating runs at much lower temperatures than radiators you can expect a substantial saving of your energy bills when it is installed correctly underfloor heating provides a uniform heat throughout the area in which it is installed.

Russell’s Recommendation
All of the systems we supply provide excellent performance, but in my opinion the flat ribbon system has more advantages over the other two. Because it is only 1.8mm thick installation is easy, it can be laid over any type of subfloor and have any type of floor covering on top of it. Our flat ribbon underfloor heating system only takes 3 minutes to reach optimum temperature.
