under tile underfloor heating warm up - 200w electric mat for kitchen, conservatories & all floors

Living Heat underfloor heating cables have been specifically designed to be used under tiles and natural stone floors. They are all capable of being used as the primary heat source, (No other heating required). A minimum of 70% floor coverage is recommended (@ 150w/m2 or above) for use as a primary heat source but in some instances, a larger area or wattage may be required.

All Living Heat kits are easy to lay and do not increase the floor height. The heating cables are just over 2mm thick so this allows the cable to be easily buried in the tile adhesive.

The heating cables are pre-spaced onto a self-adhesive fibreglass mesh backing. This makes fitting each mat quick and easy. Mats are simply rolled out over a clean subfloor and held in place with the self-adhesive mesh backing. This eliminates the need for additional tapes and adhesives.

Living Heat products have a Technical Free Phone Helpline For any questions or help you may have/require.

It is not recommended to install underfloor heating over a uninsulated subfloor, areas without the addition of a minimum, 6mm insulation layer first being installed, (please see our eBay store for suitable insulations). This is because un-insulated concrete or other subfloor types greatly reduces the response time and overall efficiency of any underfloor heating.

Living Heat offers other underfloor heating options in our eBay shop for almost any room size and floor covering. Please feel free to contact us if you have any specific requirements. Give us a call to discuss your project or our other underfloor heating systems we advertise on eBay. We are here to help.

There is no specialist labour or tools required to lay and fit Living Heat kits. The only qualified person required is an electrician to make the final connection to the mains power.

To work out what size kit you require please follow the next 3 steps.

Step 1. Measure the total floor area that you wish to be heated. (Less any immovable objects such as bath or kitchen units that you do not want the heating to be fitted under).

Step 2. Take off a 10cm border around the floor area to be heated as the heating elements should not be run up tight against any walls.

Step 3. This measurement should then be rounded down to the nearest 0.5m, (ie 5.27m ² floor size would be rounded down to a 5m ² kit size). The measurement can be rounded down to the nearest 1m on larger room areas.

Fitting Guide

1. Make sure the floor area is level, clean and free of any dust and debris. If laying tiles the floor should be made suitable for laying tiles before the heating or insulation boards (if required)are laid.

2. To fit the heating cable the heated floor area must be first marked out with clear markings at even centres at opposite ends of the room / heated area, (the distance between markings will depend upon the wattage required per sqm and length of cable to be laid). To mark the floor the installer should first work out what wattage per sqm is required and thus what length or wattage cable is required. The floor should then be marked to show the desired spacing between cable runs to achieve the desired wattage per m ² over the floor area.

3. Starting from the closest point to the thermostat/power source run the cable back and forward between the floor markings taping over the cable at the start and end of each run to fix it in place so the tiling process can be completed. If the required additional tape can be used. Or the full length of the cable can be taped over to maintain even spacing and fix the cable in place.

4. Depending upon whether you are using a Living Heat dual or single core system the other end of the cable may need to be returned to the start position. (Living Heat duel core systems do not require the 2nd end of the cable to be returned to the start point).
