Underfloor Heating Mat 150w
Underfloor Heating mat 150w/m2 is designed to be as a secondary or primary heat source in common areas of your home. If more than 80% of the available floor area is covered, the 150w mats can be used as a primary heat source.
Easy to install, they are simply rolled out making them ideal for regularly shaped areas, for example in kitchens, hallways, etc.
Living Heat heating mats can be easily manipulated around objects. And the cable can be pulled off of the mesh backing to be laid free-hand in some areas. The mats measure 0.5m in width and the largest run available on a single mat is 32m in length.
It is also recommended that an insulation layer is installed under the heating system. This is especially relevant on a concrete subfloor because the concrete floor will absorb the heat.
As a rule of thumb, we would recommend heating between 70 and 90% of your total floor area for maintaining a primary heat source. Most of all if you have any questions or would just like a little advice take a look at our installation guides.

UFH Mat Build Up:
Starting at the subfloor which can be either wood or concrete. The following layer will be a thin bed of flexible adhesive about 2-4mm thick to stick down your insulation boards.Next, you will have your insulation board, creating a base to lay your underfloor heating mats. Once the mats are laid you have two options.
In this example we have shown the tiles being laid directly onto the heating mat, however, a self-levelling compound can also be poured over the cables before tiling, providing even conduction of heat and a protective layer whilst tilling.
Finally, the tiles can be stuck down with a standard 4-8mm bed of flexible adhesive(Depending on size of Tile).
Please also ensure that the tiles are laid with an even bed of adhesive for equal heat distribution and cable coverage.
In conclusion, the floor will be raised dependent on a few variables:
- 2-4mm Bed of flexible adhesive
- 6mm Insulation board. (10mm & 20mm insulation also available)
- 3mm Underfloor Heating mats 150w. Enveloped into levelling or tile adhesive
- 4-8mm Bed of tile adhesive – Depending on size of Tile
- Tiles in this example 10mm tiles
