FAQs

Does this kit include a thermostat?

No, this is a mat-only unit and does not include a thermostat or floor sensor.

Can I cut the heating cable?

No, you must never cut or shorten the heating cable. Only the fibre glass mesh can be cut to allow for turns.

Can this be used as a primary heat source?

Yes, the Fastwarm 150W system is designed to act as a primary heat source in well-insulated rooms.

How thin is the heating mat?

The heating cable is 2mm thick, making it one of the lowest-profile systems available.

Is this suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the system is perfectly suitable for bathrooms and en suites.

What type of floor covering can I use?

The mat is compatible with most floor coverings that are rated for underfloor heating, such as tiles and certain stone products.

Troubleshooting

Floor is not heating up

Verify the thermostat is correctly connected and powered. Check the continuity of the heating cable using a multimeter.

Thermostat displaying an error code

Consult your thermostat manufacturer's manual to identify the code, often related to the floor temperature sensor connection.

Uneven heating across the room

Ensure the mat was laid flat and that no cables were bunched or overlapped during installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely low profile at only 2mm thickness
  • Suitable for a wide range of room sizes
  • High-quality fluoropolymer cable coating
  • Consistent heat distribution across the floor surface
  • Easy to install on a flexible fibre glass mesh

Cons

  • Thermostat not included in this variant
  • Requires professional electrical connection for safety
  • Not suitable for use without a compatible floor sensor/thermostat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves rolling out the fibre glass mesh on the subfloor and securing it before laying flooring over the top. Always verify that your chosen floor covering is compatible with electric underfloor heating systems. While the mat is robust, avoid cutting the actual heating cables; only the fibre glass mesh should be cut to navigate corners or obstacles. Regular maintenance is minimal, though it is essential to ensure the floor sensor is positioned correctly during the initial setup to prevent overheating. Always consult a qualified electrician for the final connection to the mains supply to ensure compliance with local building regulations.
