FAQs

Can I cut the heating cable to fit my room?

No, you must never cut or shorten the heating cable itself. You can cut the mesh backing to turn the mat, but the wire must remain intact.

Is this mat suitable for wooden flooring?

It is suitable for many floor types, but you must check the flooring manufacturer's specifications to ensure it is compatible with electric underfloor heating.

Do I need to prime the subfloor?

Yes, always use a high-quality floor primer suitable for your subfloor type to ensure the adhesive bonds correctly to the heating mat.

How long is the cold tail?

The mat includes a 2-meter long cold tail for convenient connection to your thermostat.

Can I install this myself?

While you can lay the mat, the final electrical connection and testing must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and warranty compliance.

Troubleshooting

The floor is not heating up

Check the thermostat settings and ensure the floor sensor is properly connected and functional.

The RCD trips immediately upon turning on

There may be damage to the heating element or a loose connection. Disconnect the power immediately and consult a qualified electrician to perform a continuity and insulation resistance test.

Uneven heating across the floor

Check that the mat was laid evenly without overlapping cables, which can create hot spots or lead to cable failure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely thin profile does not raise floor height significantly
  • Comprehensive 25-year manufacturer warranty
  • Fully earth-screened for enhanced electrical safety
  • Simple twin-wire installation process
  • Consistent and even heat output

Cons

  • Requires a separate thermostat controller
  • Must be installed by a qualified electrician to maintain warranty
  • Not suitable for outdoor or exposed applications
  • Fixed mat width of 500mm may require multiple strips for odd-shaped rooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a subfloor that is clean, dry, and primed. The mat can be cut and turned to fit room dimensions, but the heating cable itself must never be cut or shortened.

Compatibility Notes:

  • Ensure your chosen floor finish is rated for use with underfloor heating.
  • A dedicated thermostat is necessary to regulate temperature and prevent overheating.
  • Use a multimeter before and after laying tiles to ensure the mat's resistance values remain within the manufacturer's specified range.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid placing heavy, heat-insulating furniture (like solid-base cabinets) directly over the heated area.
  • Keep maintenance records and photos of the mat layout prior to tiling for future reference.
