Product Information

What's more, when the RugBuddy is covered with a rug, your source of heating is discreetly hidden out of sight. Therefore, you can stay warm without the ugly clutter of a portable heater. The RugBuddy mimics underfloor heating where you are sitting, is hidden out of the way even when in use, and only costs a few pence an hour to run. There are no complicated controls and no installation set-up is necessary. So positioning, and using, a RugBuddy is simplicity itself. 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. If you have any issues, RugHeat provides a five-year manufacturer’s warranty. If there are any premature fails, you’ll be fully covered. Be aware that you need to have a soft mat between the heating mat and the floor. If it’s directly on a solid surface, furniture could damage it.

The Rayoflex mat is the easiest system on the market to install under carpet and has been chosen by thousands of home combined insulating factor prevents the heat from escaping and causing a localised hot spot which could damage the As a result, your rug is turned into the focal point of warmth in your room. Just the thing when there’s a chill in the air! The RugBuddy only costs a few pence per hour to run. For example, a typical 125 x 160cm size is 250 Watts and costs just 4p per hour. That’s 1/8th (12.5%) the cost of a running a fan heater! RugBuddy electric heater:

Product Factsheets

RugBuddy comes with RCD protection built in as standard, in case of accidental damage to the RugBuddy. Please test this at regular intervals to ensure it is working properly Underlay is strongly recommended in all situations and essential on hard floors such as tiles, wood, laminate, and vinyl. Read the reasons why here. By putting warmth where you need it - under your feet! - RugBuddy is more effective than other electric heaters. This means RugBuddy will keep you warm while consuming less electricity.

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. The first is to lay the RugBuddy on an insulating underlay so all that lovely warmth doesn’t disappear through the floor. Most manufacturers wouldn’t recommend putting a heat source on the floor so the underlay isolates the heater from the floor. No noisy fans, no stirring up dust, and no clutter in your super-organised workspace! Running costs I appreciate the extra warmth without a bulky heater, which I have little room for in a small flat" *Within minutes you’ll feel gentle radiant heat from the surface of your rug, supplementing your primary source of heating. 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 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! 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. It’s economical too. This is because you don’t have to have high air temperatures to feel comfortably warm with radiant heat. If you think of the warmth you feel moving from shade into strong sunlight on a crisp winter’s day, you’ll know what I mean!
