Tog Rating

A ‘tog’ is a measurement of thermal resistance i.e. insulation. The higher the rating, the more heat will be ‘trapped’ by the material - it is more commonly used for duvets and sheets, but it is occasionally useful if you are planning to combine carpet (and underlay) with underfloor heating. You can find out more about tog ratings on this blog post, but it is always worth consulting a professional heating engineer.
