Underfloor Heating Soft Foil Systems

Wood Flooring Compatibility

Soft foil systems work brilliantly under floating wood floors—like laminate or engineered timber. They sit just beneath the floor and spread heat evenly through their reinforced foil layers. Plus, they heat up quickly and don’t raise your floor much. That keeps the finish level and installs in less time. Foil heaters suit floating wood finishes and deliver consistent warmth thanks to their aluminium foil design—helping them conduct heat efficiently and thinly.

Carpet & Vinyl Floors

Soft foil systems suit carpet and vinyl too. They warm the floor evenly and swiftly without needing adhesives. The foil’s design keeps heat constant under these floating covers, delivering snug underfoot warmth. With foil you avoid mortar or glue, so you can tuck it under your softer finishes cleanly.

Slim Build-Up, Fast Installation

These systems add very little to your overall floor height. In fact, most foil layers are under a few millimetres thick. That helps when you’re upgrading without lifting everything. You just roll or place the foil, add underlay if needed, then lay your floor on top. It's that straightforward. And they’re often fully earthed and ready to install—so you skip sticky adhesives and move faster.

Energy-Smart, Even Heat

Soft foil systems spread warmth evenly, avoiding hot or cold spots. The sectional foil layers protect the heating cable and balance the warmth across the floor. That helps you save energy while staying cozy. They're a smart fit for floating floors and light to moderate heat needs without waste or awkward layering.
