Underfloor Electric Heating in Bathrooms and Showers

Jason Rayment

My interpretation of 18th Edition wiring Regs chapter 701 in regards to Zone 0,1,2 in Bathrooms is that electric underfloor heating cannot be used in these zones if 240v as 240v is neither SELV nor PELV i.e. 12VAC, yet I have just asked Warmup and their response was this to my question, are they correct? If so should the 18th Edition not be a little clearer here

you are showing electric underfloor heating is bathrooms and even showers, Im confused as I have just read the IET 18th edition and it does not allow 240v underfloor heating in zones 0,1,2 is this correct? if so do you sell 12v underfloor heating?

Welcome Jason! Your request has been directed to the Homeowner department. 1:18 PM Please wait for our operator to answer your call.

Lina 1:18 PM Hello Jason.

Jason 1:18 PM Hi Lina!

It does not allow the controls in the zones, it needs to be outside the bathrooms. But the electric underfloor heating can be in the zones.

Jason 1:21 PM wow, the regs are not clear on this lol

Jason 1:25 PM OK thanks for your help

Lina 1:25 PM You're welcome.

Very much grateful to any responses.

    This is being made far too complicated.

    701.32.2: bottom of zone 0 = bottom of zone 1

    701.32.3: "Zone 1 is limited by: (i) the finished floor level ...

    701.32.4: ditto for zone 2.

    Anything, even a cat's whisker below the surface of the floor is not in the zones.

    Control equipment is a separate matter.

    If you go below the finished floor level, then how would you treat, e.g., the lighting on the floor below?
