Product Information
Full details
The HeatMyHome Electric Underfloor Heating Mat is designed for homeowners and professional renovators looking to add luxurious warmth to kitchens, bathrooms, or conservatories. Providing a consistent 160W per square metre, this system offers efficient, even heat distribution through pre-spaced cables, making it an excellent choice for primary or supplemental heating. While it provides incredible comfort under tiles, it requires a 12mm levelling compound for compatibility with certain non-tile floor coverings, which should be factored into your floor height calculations.

FAQs
Can I cut the heating wire to make it fit?
No. You must only cut the mesh backing. The heating cable itself must remain intact, or the mat will fail to function.
What floor coverings are compatible?
Tiles are ideal. Other floor coverings are compatible as long as you use a 12mm levelling compound to protect the cable and manage heat transfer.
Can this be used as a primary heating source?
Yes, the 160W/sqm output is generally sufficient to act as a primary heat source in well-insulated rooms.
Does this mat come with a thermostat?
The mat typically requires a compatible underfloor heating thermostat, which is often sold separately to ensure it matches your specific heating requirements.
How long is the warranty?
This product includes a 15-year warranty, covering performance and manufacturing defects.
Can I install this on a wooden subfloor?
Yes, provided the wooden subfloor is stable, rigid, and appropriately prepared with a suitable primer and levelling compound.
Troubleshooting
The floor is not heating up
Check that the thermostat is receiving power and set to the correct mode. Ensure the sensor probe is connected correctly to the thermostat.
Multimeter shows a break in continuity
This usually indicates a cut or damaged cable. Locate the site of the damage and contact a professional to inspect or repair the connection.
Thermostat displaying error code
Consult the thermostat manufacturer manual; often this indicates a faulty floor sensor probe that may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins by cleaning the subfloor to ensure it is level and free of debris. Unroll the mat and secure it to the floor; use the cut-and-turn method to maneuver the mesh around obstacles, taking extreme care never to nick or cut the actual heating wire. For tile installations, use a flexible tile adhesive directly over the mat. If you are using non-tile materials like wood or vinyl, you must apply a 12mm layer of levelling compound over the mat to protect the cable and distribute heat evenly. Always perform a continuity check on the wiring before and after covering the mat to ensure the cables were not damaged during installation. Regular maintenance is minimal, provided you avoid piercing the floor with heavy hardware after installation.
