Our 200W/m² underfloor heating mat is a 3mm heating cable on a self-adhesive mesh, for laying under tile and stone. It’s the one to choose when the floor will be the main heat in the room, or the room loses heat quickly. Sold by area from 0.5m² to 30m², on its own or with a thermostat. Mesh mats come with a lifetime warranty when they’re installed correctly.

Lifetime Guarantee & Next Day Delivery
The 200w/m2 Electric Underfloor Heating Mat provides fast, efficient heating and can be used as a primary or secondary heat source when covering over 80% of the floor area.
Quick to install, the mat simply rolls out, making it ideal for kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and other regularly shaped rooms.
The heating cable can also be removed from the mesh for free-hand installation around obstacles. Each mat is 0.5m wide with lengths available up to 24m.
For improved heat output, especially on concrete floors—use an insulation layer beneath the system.

UFH Mat Build Up:
Start by fixing insulation boards to the subfloor using 2–4mm of flexible adhesive. Lay the heating mat on top, then either tile directly or cover with self-levelling compound before tiling.
Finish with a 4–8mm bed of flexible tile adhesive, depending on tile size and thickness.
Typical floor build-up:
- 2–4mm Flexible Adhesive
- 6mm Insulation Board (10mm & 20mm options available)
- 3mm 200W Heating Mat
- 4–8mm Tile Adhesive Layer
- Tiles (10mm in this example)

Working out a budget? Our electric underfloor heating cost guide covers the mat, thermostat, boards, fitting and running costs for a typical bathroom.
Is a 200W mat right for your room?
Choose 200W/m² when
The floor will be the main heat in the room, the room loses heat quickly, like a conservatory, or you want the floor to warm up faster. The price difference over 150W/m² is small, so unless your electrics limit the load, it’s the one we’d usually recommend.
Choose 150W/m² when
The room is a typical bathroom, kitchen or hallway on insulation boards, and the floor is there alongside your existing heating, or your electrics limit the load.
View the 150W/m² matChoosing the size and thermostat
Mat size
Measure the open floor, not the whole room. The mat never goes under a bath, toilet or fitted unit. Aim to cover around 80 to 85% of what’s left, so 5m² of open floor takes a 4m² mat.
Thermostat
Pick one when you choose your size: the M1 dial, M5 digital, T5 touch screen or Wi5 WiFi, or no thermostat if you already have one.
Compare thermostatsInsulation
Laying the mat on insulation sends the heat up into the room, so it warms faster and costs less to run. Tile backer boards are the trade standard under tiles.

Can a 200W mat be the main heat in a room?
Yes. That’s what it’s for. Lay it on insulation boards and cover over 80% of the open floor.
Does a 200W mat cost more to run than a 150W mat?
It uses more power per hour at full output, but it also warms the floor faster, and once the floor is up to temperature the thermostat switches it on and off to hold it there. Our cost guide shows the cost per hour for each size.
Is it suitable for a conservatory?
Yes. Conservatories lose heat quickly, so the 200W/m² mat is the one we recommend for them.
Can I lay the mat around obstacles?
Yes. Cut the mesh to turn the mat at walls and around obstacles, but never cut the heating cable. The cable can also be taken off the mesh and laid by hand in awkward spots.
How thick is the mat?
3mm, so it goes into the tile adhesive bed without raising the floor much.
Can I fit it myself?
On a basic installation, yes. A qualified electrician must make the final connection and wire in the thermostat.
