M-Heat heated mats

Warm the worker, not the building.

A heavy-industrial heated standing mat for cold workstations. Far-infrared heat goes straight to the person on it, so you stop paying to heat a warehouse that never feels warm.

Save up to £858 a year per workstation.*

  • 350 W far-infrared heat, surface regulated to 60 °C
  • Up to five mats on one standard socket
  • Slip-resistant aluminium tread plate in a hazard-yellow steel frame
  • 93 x 73 cm, 3.5 cm high, plugs straight in

£929.95 inc. VAT · free UK mainland delivery · dispatched by the manufacturer in 5 to 8 working days

*Compared with an equivalent 2 kW local heater, based on an 8-hour shift at 25p/kWh over 260 working days, with M-Heat costed at its full rating. A saving only exists where the mat lets you switch a heater off.

Why heating the building doesn't work

Warehouses and production halls are tall, draughty and full of doors that open all day. Warm air rises into the roof and escapes every time a dock door goes up, so space heating spends most of its energy on air nobody is standing in. The worker at a packing bench or a line station is still standing on cold concrete.

M-Heat turns that round. Far-infrared heat radiates from the surface underfoot and warms the person directly, which is what they actually feel. One mat draws 350 W, against 2 to 3 kW for a typical local fan or convector heater, so the saving comes from switching those heaters off at the workstations that have a mat.

It is still a proper anti-fatigue standing platform: a 3.5 cm raised tread-plate surface that takes the hardness out of concrete for workers on their feet all shift.

Warm the worker, not the warehouse

M‑Heat costs no more than 70p for an eight-hour shift at 25p/kWh, up to 82.5% less energy than a 2 kW space heater. Where it replaces one local heater, a single mat could save around £858 a year and repay its price in about 13 months.

M‑Heat is costed at its full 350 W rating for the whole shift. Its regulated surface cycles on and off, so real use should be lower. Payback is on the VAT-inclusive price of £929.95. The saving only exists where the mat lets you switch off or turn down local heating: if every heater stays on, M‑Heat adds up to £182 a year instead.

Where M-Heat earns its keep

Warehouses and loading bays

Pickers, packers and goods-in staff working beside open dock doors, where heating the air is money out of the door.

Production and assembly lines

Fixed workstations on cold concrete in large-volume buildings that are never going to feel warm.

Beside cold stores and chillers

Ambient packing and despatch stations next to cold stores, where cold air floods out every time a door opens.

Inspection and packing stations

Low-movement roles that get cold fastest, because the work keeps people standing in one place.

Run a whole line from one socket

Link up to five mats along a bench or line with one connector cable per link, so a run of five needs four cables. Fit a safety connector between each pair of mats for one continuous standing surface with no trip edge at the joins.

Frequently asked questions

How does a heated standing mat keep someone warm?
M-Heat gives off far-infrared radiant heat from the surface the worker stands on. Radiant heat warms people and objects directly rather than the air, so it works in large, draughty buildings where warm air rises and escapes before anyone feels it.
How much does M-Heat cost to run?
It draws a maximum of 350 W. At 25p per kWh that is about 8.8p an hour at full power, and the regulated surface does not run at full power all the time. Use the calculator on this page with your own tariff and shift pattern.
Where does the saving come from?
From the heating you switch off. Against a 2 kW local space heater running an 8-hour shift, M-Heat uses a fraction of the energy. If every heater stays on as well, M-Heat adds a running cost rather than saving one, and the calculator shows that too.
Can several mats run together along a line?
Yes. Up to five M-Heat mats run from one standard socket, linked with connector cables. Fit a safety connector between each pair for a continuous standing surface. Never connect more than five mats on one power lead.
Does it need an electrician?
No fixed installation is needed. It plugs into a standard UK socket. The manufacturer recommends RCD protection, and that longer linked runs go on their own circuit.
Is it suitable for wet areas or outdoors?
No. M-Heat is for indoor use on a flat, stable floor. It is rated IP44 against splashes, but it must not be used on wet floors, near standing water, outdoors or in hazardous areas.
How quickly can I get it?
M-Heat is dispatched by the manufacturer in 5 to 8 working days, with free delivery to UK mainland addresses. For several workstations or a full line, ask us for a quote.
