There is a u.k company selling the kits with contrllers,together with thermal underlay[10mm] that you put down on to screed first. They are 140W/M2
I was thinking that an area of 9 Mtrs would deal with the walkable zone.

Has anyone put this down?

With the area I am proposing[9 M2]-what would be the running costs to maintain a very 'warm to touch' floor for say, four hours in evening[6-10 PM]?

Will any laminate do or is there a special type needed?
