About this deal

Manual dial/traditional thermostats - these simply models are controlled manually, by turning a dial, for example. One thing you can’t do with any of these under rug floor heaters is use them outside. If you want a similar device for outdoors, consider a heated snow melting mat instead. It will be far more durable, and can stand up to the weather. 4. OLYDON Electric Heated Floor Mat A qualified electrician will need to connect it up to your electricity supply and install the thermostat. How much does electric underfloor heating cost to install and run? A RugBuddy under desk heater - under the rug or mat your desk stands on - provides a comfortable, economical, and discreet way to keep you warm. It's a 'Personal Workspace Heater', in other words. There are a few different types of thermostat, ranging from simple to sophisticated. In some cases, you may be able to choose the type of thermostat that's included with your system; you'll probably pay more for a smart thermostat than a basic one.

Most electric heaters consume between 1,000 and 2,400 watts and fail to direct heat where it's needed. Electric underfloor heating is usually placed on top of a layer of floor insulation, to ensure the heat travels upwards rather than down. This is first laid on a layer of screed (made of sand and cement) or suspended timber (floorboards on joists), to ensure the surface is completely flat. RugBuddy® is maintenance free and comes optionally with a non-slip and non-creep underlay. The smartest radiant floor heater in the world!With laminate floors it is vital to spread the heat evenly beneath the flooring to avoid discolouration or movement in the floor. For residential properties we recommend installing our 6mm Decora insulation layer onto the floor to prevent downward heat loss and then installing our Underlaminate System heating mats on top. These mats have an output of 150W/sqm and due to their dual-conductor design are fast to install. They are fully earthed for safety unlike a carbon film heating system. Save space and do away with unsightly heating appliances – RugBuddy® will enhance your comfort levels while consuming minimal amounts of energy making it more economical than most other heating appliances. Next up are the bar or panel radiator type heaters. In theory, these aren't as bad because they create more effective radiant heat. But, their downsides include: One of the main reasons people buy area rugs is to keep their feet warm. Nobody wants to step out of bed and directly onto cold hardwood. The same is true for walking around in any room, or any solid flooring surface. A rug just doesn’t feel as cold underfoot as solid materials. This is normally effective, but what if your floors are truly frigid? This innovative heater provides you with superior warmth while using a minimal amount of electricity. It's ideal for use when sitting or standing at a work desk. It's manufactured in Italy exclusively for Reduction Revolution in Australia & NZ, and it has the following features:

No noisy fans, no stirring up dust, and no clutter in your super-organised workspace! Running costs Smart thermostats - these let you manage your underfloor heating from a distance, typically using a smartphone app, and may have more nuanced setting options. They can also be handy if, for example, you head off on holiday and realise you've forgotten to turn the system off.The solution to many of the woes described above is simple: deliver radiant and conductive heat where needed. The foot mat heater achieves this by silently heating you and a small area around you. It has an in-built thermostat to regulate temperature and prevent overheating. Having the opportunity to work from home is ideal for many of us. Especially if it cuts out a time-sapping and costly commute. In that case, a heated under rug mat can be the perfect solution to your problems. It plugs into your wall, then heats up the area under your area rug. This keeps your feet warm, and can contribute extra heat to your room. But you want to be careful when you’re choosing one. Choose poorly, and you won’t get the performance you were counting on. I appreciate the extra warmth without a bulky heater, which I have little room for in a small flat" * But potential savings can be wiped out by higher domestic heating bills if you don’t plan how you heat your work space.

The foot mat heater is controlled by an in-line on/off footswitch. There's even an orange indicator light on the footswitch to remind you when it's switched on. If the concrete layer is thinner than 55mm and suitable for use with underfloor heating then standard heating mats can be used and covered with the concrete. If it is not suitable to have underfloor heating encased within it, we recommend using our standard heating mats, covered with 12mm of levelling compound and then installing the concrete floor on top of the levelling compound.

Specifications - Warmset Electric Foot Warmer / Foot Mat Heater

When I arrive in the morning, the temperature in my office is anywhere between zero to five degrees. I turn on my RugBuddy and my oil filled radiator. After 45 minutes the air is at 20 degrees. I turn the radiator off and leave my RugBuddy on for the rest of the day, as that is all I need. This is not only a cost effective way to heat my garden office but it is great to be able to sit at my desk and warm my feet!

The mat heater delivers a pleasant radiant warmth from directly below where you are sitting or standing. The foot warmer will heat you more effectively, using up to 90% less energy than other electric heaters on the market. Please note: If using the Rugbuddy on a tiled or screeded floor, we recommend using carpet underlay underneath for thermal efficiency. This can also be bought at any carpet or flooring supplier. Jute, felt and foam underlays are most suited for this purpose.

Medium size RugBuddy (generously ‘desk-sized’ at 125 x 160cm, 250 Watts) costs just 7.5p per hour* to run RugBuddy has multiple uses. Yoga studios love RugBuddy under rug heaters because they creates the warmth your body needs to adequately stretch and move. Place a RugBuddy beneath a yoga mat for truly unique workout experience. Pets love RugBuddy because it offers a safe and cozy spot for naps. Is your office cold and uncomfortable? RugBuddy can help there as well. Thanks to RugBuddy's durability, furniture and rolling office chairs will cause no harm to the unit.
