Electric underfloor heating sounds to many like quite a challenge, which is understandable. Underfloor heating is often installed using loose cables, with all the associated accessories. For those who want to install their own underfloor heating without the hassle of loose cables, we have underfloor heating mats. We at Warmtekabel are happy to explain how best to use them!
What are underfloor heating mats?
At a underfloor heating mat are the loose wires used for the floor heating inserted into a mesh mat. Because of this, you do not need to lay the wires yourself, and laying the underfloor heating becomes a lot easier.
The mats have an adhesive underside, so you only need to apply them to the substrate. The cables are fitted in a loop on the mesh, which ensures an even heat output. Wherever the underfloor heating is installed, there will be no cold zones because the same loop spacing is used throughout.
An additional advantage of an underfloor heating mat is that the installation is much quicker than with a loose-wire system.
There are multiple ways to furnish your space with electric underfloor heating. For many users, the choice between underfloor heating mats and a loose-wire system depends on the room. Do you have a rectangular room without too many obstacles? Then we certainly recommend an underfloor heating mat. In any room, take into account fixed furniture, such as a permanent shower tray which does not need underfloor heating underneath it.
We often see in practice that these underfloor heating mats are installed in living rooms, bathrooms, offices and other rooms in the house. Due to the thin build-up height, minimal adjustments also need to be made. As a result, the mats can also be used when replacing an existing floor or during renovation.
When you want to use these electric underfloor heating mats, you can choose from various lengths. By choosing the right length, you avoid too much cutting work and ensure a quick and smooth installation.
Once the installation is complete and the floor finish has been applied, the mats are ready for use. A thermostat is often supplied with this underfloor heating, allowing you to control the underfloor heating remotely, such as setting the temperature, turning the electric underfloor heating on and off, etc. The temperature is measured in the floor by means of a floor sensor. This is often placed in a sensor tube so that it remains replaceable should the sensor fail. The measured temperatures are transmitted to the thermostat. Using the measured temperatures, the thermostat will then control the electric underfloor heating mats.
It is also possible to use the temperature sensor of the thermostat itself. This is often done if the thermostat is placed near underfloor heating. The temperature sensor supplied with a thermostat often measures the ambient temperature.
Which thermostats can you use with underfloor heating mats?
Of thermostat is in many cases almost as important as the underfloor heating itself. To control the underfloor heating as well as possible, at Warmtekabel we have many different thermostats available. Many of these models have a Wi-Fi connection, which makes it possible to control the underfloor heating from your phone. There are also some models with a touchscreen, or with a rotary knob. It just depends on what the user prefers!
