Before you order your floor heating system, there are a several things you can do in preparation. Read this before your start!
It is vital that the floor heating thermostat’s floor probe was not only installed but done so the right way. Click “Read More” for details. Make sure that the sensor probe is installed underneath the mat and placed equidistant BETWEEN two runs of heater wire.
It depends on a lot of factors, but a classic installation over ¾” plywood with NADWM mats would take about 30 minutes to heat from 60F to 80F. Click “Read More” for details.
To wire in 3-phase you need 3-phase supply power. Click “Read More” for details.
This page explains the difference of the mat and loose cable options but ultimately either the cable or mat option will give you the design freedom you are looking for.
Without a thermal break, the concrete acts as a heat sink. Therefore, the heat is drawn first into the concrete sub-floor before your floor covering. This is why Warmup recommends installing Warmup Insulation Boards over the concrete sub-floor to act as a thermal break. This forces the heat radiate upwards first rather than down into the concrete slab. Warmup insulation boards can increase ramp up time by over 70% and decrease heat loss by over 90%.
Using self-lever or thinset depends on the type of flooring being installed and preference.

The thermostats come with a 9’ sensor cable to detect the temperature under the floor finish. The end of the probe wire contains a capped sensor that should be evenly centered between two heating cables at least 12” into the heated area. At no time should the probe wire cross the heating cable.
