Underfloor Heating and radiators distribute heat differently, as the illustration shows. Underfloor Heating provides an even distribution of heat, whereas radiators provide an uneven distribution which typically creates hot and cold spots in your home.
With Underfloor Heating, up to 90% of the available floor is heated. This means even distribution of heat through out the entire room,and a more efficient way of heating up your home.

How to Calculate How Much Electric Underfloor Heating Mat you require?
1.Work out the area of the room
2.Take away area of all fixed items in the room,(EG:Baths,Sinks,Toilets,Kitchen,Counters)
3.Take another 10% to leave at the edges and between the mats
4.Round that down the nearest whole number EG:5.64m2=5m2 mat
Note:Working out the right size of underfloor heating mat is important,you can't cut the wires to change the size or you'll break the heating beyond repair.
