Full details

The Fastwarm 150W Electric Underfloor Heating Mat Kit is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to install a reliable, efficient primary or secondary heat source beneath their flooring. Designed with industry-leading 2mm thin dual-core cables, it provides uniform warmth without significantly raising floor height, making it perfect for both compact spaces like bathrooms and larger open-plan rooms; however, users should ensure the subfloor is properly prepared and insulated to maximize energy efficiency and heat retention.

FAQs

Can I cut the heating mat cables?

No. You can cut the fiberglass mesh to fit your room shape, but you must never cut or shorten the heating cable itself as this will damage the circuit.

Is this kit suitable for all flooring types?

The 150W system is primarily designed for tile and stone floors. Please check with your flooring manufacturer to ensure compatibility with underfloor heating.

Does it require insulation boards?

While not strictly mandatory for all subfloors, using insulation boards is highly recommended to significantly reduce heat-up times and improve energy efficiency.

Can I install this in a wet room?

Yes, the system is suitable for wet areas like bathrooms and en-suites, provided it is installed in accordance with electrical safety regulations for damp environments.

What is the warranty period?

Fastwarm offers a lifetime guarantee on their heating mats due to the high-quality materials and Teflon coating used in their construction.

Troubleshooting

System fails to heat up

Check that the thermostat is powered and correctly connected, and verify the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Thermostat displaying error code

Consult the thermostat manual for specific code definitions, often related to sensor disconnection or probe placement issues.

Inconsistent floor temperature

Ensure the floor probe was installed correctly during the tiling process and is not covered by thick layers of non-conductive material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely low profile (2mm thickness) reduces floor height adjustments
  • High-durability Teflon-coated cables outperform standard PVC alternatives
  • Consistent heat distribution across the entire mat surface
  • Suitable for DIY installation in various room sizes
  • Backed by a comprehensive lifetime guarantee

Cons

  • Requires professional electrical connection for safety compliance
  • Performance is highly dependent on subfloor insulation quality
  • Cannot be cut or shortened during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should begin with a clean, level, and dry subfloor. It is recommended to use insulation boards beneath the mat to prevent downward heat loss. The mat should be laid out according to room dimensions, ensuring the mesh is cut to fit the space while being extremely careful never to cut or damage the heating cable itself. Once positioned, use a flexible floor adhesive compatible with underfloor heating. While the system is designed for DIY layout, all final electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and warranty validity. Maintenance is minimal; avoid drilling into the floor post-installation to prevent cable damage.
