Our under tile floor heating kit is perfect for putting floor heating under tiles, where the floor cannot be screeded. The cable mat is installed on the base surface and is then covered with the tile adhesive and tiles. The thin 3mm cables means that the tiler only has to use a little bit of extra adhesive. The mats are 500mm wide and are easily installed by cutting the matting (NOT THE CABLE) and snaking the mat backwards and forwards filling in the area to be heated.

DIY Floor Heating Kits
DIY Floor Heating kits are a great option if you are renovating a bathroom or a room which is going to be screeded or tiled (see Related Products below). This option will save you the installation costs and using our detailed instructions you will have this installed in no time.
Planning A DIY Installation
When calculating the size of the mat you require for your project, you need to calculate ONLY THE FREE FLOOR SPACE in the room you are heating. For example in a bathroom you would generally exclude the toilet, bath, shower and vanity unit. Also when planning your installation bear in mind that the cable mat is 500mm wide so when planning how you will layout the mat, work in 500mm strips.
Cable Alarm
Included in your kit is a cable alarm. Connect and switch on the cable alarm prior to tiling or covering with self-levelling screed. The cable alarm must be turned on at all times when tiling or when any other trades are working in the room.
CALCULATING YOUR PROJECT. This is a vital step and MUST be done correctly to ensure that all the mat is used up. Once the mat has been unrolled and cut it cannot be returned. Use our simple calculator here
