Best floor tiles with underfloor heating

With most projects nowadays, underfloor heating is a big consideration for many people, especially when starting a project or renovation from scratch. Installing underfloor heating in turn helps with the feel of your floor tiles in the winter months, as natural stone or porcelain can become cool if the ambient temperature is low. With this being on many customers’ shopping lists, choosing the right tiles that are useable with underfloor heating is an important winter tile consideration.


When it comes to our tiles, you need not worry as all of our floor tiling ranges are suitable for use with underfloor heating systems of any type. In terms of a natural stone choice, Dijon Tumbled limestone provides not only a warmness in colour but also works perfectly with underfloor heating. Being a 15mm thick tile for indoors, this popular limestone choice heats up quicker than some thicker natural stone options, making for a pleasant feel underfoot during the winter period.

Best wood effect tiles for winter

One of the simplest ways in which you can keep your space looking warm and inviting even during the cold winter months, is by using natural textures and colours. This not only evokes a sense of being in a cosy home or cottage, but the warm tones in a wood effect tile also help to keep the colour palette away from anything that will look too cool in bleak, winter weather.


The Henbury Antiqued Oak wood effect porcelain is a perfect option for this sort of style, with a rich and rustic array of natural oak brown tones running throughout the tile. The traditional wood plank aesthetic of this tile perfectly captures the look of a warm and comforting winter home. The versatile size also ensures a perfect fit for any size of space, from country kitchens to traditional hallways or bathrooms.

Best warm toned tiles for winter

Much like with wood effect tiles, a beige or brown coloured natural stone or stone effect porcelain can make an excellent winter floor tile option due to the warmth provided by its hues.


Montpellier Sable stone effect porcelain is an enduring example of the beige tile look, with authentic and unique beige variation in the rustic tumbled effect surface. This replicates all the character and charm of a honey coloured natural limestone or sandstone and adds a timeless warmth to any space needing winter floor tiles.

FAQs

Are floor tiles suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes! With the correct installation method, all of our floor tiles are suitable for use with both newly fitted and existing underfloor heating systems. We always recommend the use of a suitable anti-fracture matting when laying with underfloor heating. For more information, please see our installation guide here.


Which floor tiles work better with underfloor heating?

Both natural stone and porcelain work equally well with underfloor heating. Due to the thickness, natural stone can sometimes hold the heat for longer after switching off, however the difference is only incremental, with both being great choices for underfloor heating.
