To make the installation of underfloor heating more simple, Devi has introduced the Devimat with a new, stronger adhesive. Developed with adhesive tape manufacturer Tesa, the company says that no other product can offer this level of adhesion.

It is laid within the thickness of the adhesive, rather than set with a screed, and has adhesive on both sides, ensuring it remains in place.

The mats are designed to offer high mechanical strength and, as the cables are fitted with an aluminium sheath connected to earth, no extra time or money needs to be spent installing an earth to a metal grid.

Research by Wavin Plastics has revealed that more than a third of house buyers would include under floor heating (UFH) in their top five wish list of luxury items when buying a home.
