Wet room Shower Enclosures, also referred to as “Wet rooms” are becoming more and more desirable, and they’re a great way to add value to your home.

In these energy-conscious times, people are looking for home heating that’s highly efficient as well as comfortable to live with. Undertile and undercarpet heating are popular choices, but a significant amount of heat can be absorbed by the floor below.

The installation and running costs of undertile heating are largely dependent on the size of the room you are wanting to heat.  Some people make calculations based on the size of the room…this is wrong!  Whether you just want to get a feel for what’s involved or you are an avid DIY enthusiast and want to take on this project, you will definitely want to read further.
