Notes
- Insulation is optional underneath the heating mats but it will reduce the warmup time and reduce running costs so it should always be used if possible.
- If the floor finish is tiles, then you can either use flexible tile adhesive directly on the heating mat or self-level over the heating mat then fix the tiles with flexible tile adhesive.
- If you’re going to use MD heating mats under wood, vinyl or carpet, then you will need to use a levelling compound over the mat before installing the floor finish.
