Pam Anderson recently made the news for splashing out on gold and platinum tiles in her bank-breaking £3m Malibu home renovation. This whim of hers has allegedly plunged her into debt, which she is attempting to brush off with her womanly wiles.

Creating a glamorous home need not be so dramatic though. The tile market has developed significantly in the last few years and it is now possible to access stunning yet affordable tiles. According to The Tile Association, the platinum look, for example, can be easily created by using shiny, metallic mosaics or with platinum effect tiles at a fraction of the price.

Apart from choosing similar-looking tiles, another clever way to add luxury is the addition of underfloor heating. After all, the only thing better than a gorgeous floor is a warm, gorgeous floor. Particularly here in the UK where winters are a lengthy half-year affair, underfloor heating will enable you to enjoy those beautiful tiles for longer.

Award-winning Warmup® electric underfloor heating is available in both loose cable and mat forms to suit different projects. A large or regular-shaped area can be quickly covered with a mat while a smaller room with units could benefit from the additional flexibility offered by the loose wire. Room size is not a problem as Warmup offers a full range of safety-approved systems to cover areas from 0.5m² upwards.

Warmup® underfloor heating boasts a host of advantages from more comfortable warmth to greater interior design freedom.

Spanning the entire floor means that underfloor heating is very effective for keeping floors dry, especially ideal for busy bathrooms. The radiant method of heating also eliminates draughts typically associated with conventional radiators. This in turn reduces airborne allergens such as dust, making the home environment healthier.

With Warmup, the underfloor heating is operated in zones by separate thermostats. This individualistic control allows for usage tailored to your lifestyle and improves heating efficiency. Lower wastage translates simply into greater cost and energy savings.

For all the benefits, Warmup® underfloor heating is highly affordable, both to install and to run. Prices begin at less than £200 including the heater, programmable thermostat and VAT, while running costs are just 0.6p/m²/hr. There are also no maintenance costs involved.
