I'd also recommend looking at http://www.de-vi.co.uk/

I've used Devi on 2 installs to date, 1 as tile warming only ie 
heating from other sources, and 1 where the ufh was the heat source. 
The only problem with the mats is that there heating output can be 
too low to fully heat the room unless the building is very well 
insulated. Where this is the case you will need to look at larger 
cables to get a higher heating output.

Finally, the electric systems are not necessarily compatible with 
all sub-floors so it would be worthwhile choosing a manufacturer and 
giving them a call. Most will be happy to discuss your installation 
in more detail and therefore help in your prodict selection.
