Under-tile heating is a must if you wish to avoid the harshness of stone cold tiles in winter. You can set on/off times throughout the day or control it manually or by a thermostat. These systems add value to your home and cheap to run due to their low watt usage.
The Hotwire system is the simplest to install and perfect for a DIY project. It is the only system that can be installed into small spaces so you have no cold spots. The kit includes a fully SAA compliant heating element and programmable touch screen thermostat/timer controller. Full DIY installation instructions and videos are available - or we have many recommended installers Australia-wide.

Under tile heating can augment your existing heating or be a total solution
Many homeowners believe that under-floor heating is not necessary when they are installing other home heating solutions. This is simply not the case - whilst under-tile heating can be used to heat a room, it can also be used to simply heat the floor. Have you ever been in a traditionally heated tiled room? The room feels warm at head hight, but the floor is cold and it is not comfortable walking in bare feet. Under-floor heating can be your entire heating solution, or it can simply augment your other heating systems.
Did you know that ducted heating can cause a temperature difference of up to 12 degrees between the floor and ceiling? Under Tile Heating heats uniformly form the floor to ceiling and will also save you hundreds of dollars in the long run compared to bathroom heat lamps. As a total bathroom heating solution its running costs compare very favourably to other heating solutions such as heat lamps - see below.
Hotwire Heating System comes with a fully programmable touch screen thermostat
