Thermopads Undertile Heating Mat - 2m2 400W (11173)

Signature Features

The Thermopads under tile sticky mat heating system is suitable for a wide range of floor coverings – ceramic, stone, limestone, slate, terracotta, porcelain or marble. The system is designed for installation directly below tiles and stone flooring, and the following instructions should be read carefully before you begin your installation.

Thermopads under tile heating mats are available in outputs of 150 and 200 w/m², and a large range of sizes allows you to select the ideal underfloor heating system, whatever your room dimensions or the shape of your room. A wide selection in sizes simplifies design and installation.

Mats carry the heating elements ready fixed with uniform spacing onto a tough pressure sensitive self-adhesive fibreglass mesh, providing evenly distributed heat and excellent adhesive properties to facilitate fixing to the sub-floor.

The mats are 500mm wide. Installations are completed in only a short time due to the ease of rolling out the matting side by side, and facility to remove heating cable from the mat, to fit the shape of the room. The mat can be cut and turned with ease to run in strips side by side. These simple procedures are explained in the installation instructions.

The 150w/m² underfloor heating mat is suitable for under tile heating in most living areas within the home. When the floor and room are well insulated the 150w/m² system can also be used as the primary source of heat. On concrete floors and to gain maximum efficiency, it is advisable always to install a thermal barrier of insulation board of 6mm minimum thickness directly under the heating.

The 200w/m² underfloor heating system offers a quicker warm up time than 150w/m² and is suitable for under tile heating. It is recommended for conservatories, primary heat source applications, and to heat rooms with a higher heat loss. Also, it is used when a faster heat up is preferred – up to 25% faster warm up than a 150 w/m².

6mm or 10mm thick insulation board installed directly under the heating will increase performance, heat up time and save running costs.
