About this product
The Adept 140w/m2 Underfloor Heating Mat Kit is designed for those seeking a simple solution to warm their floors beneath laminate or engineered wood flooring. These mats are ideal for smaller areas such as bathrooms or kitchens where a lower heat output is beneficial. The kit provides a straightforward method for creating a comfortable underfloor temperature, particularly useful during colder months.
Each kit contains two heating mats with a total area of 1.5m², constructed from fibreglass mesh embedded with a thin heating cable and covered in aluminium foil. These mats are incredibly thin at just 0.5 centimetres thick and feature a cold tail to ensure even heat distribution across the floor surface. They can be cut and shaped to fit various free floor areas, offering flexibility for different room sizes and layouts.
Included within the kit is a comprehensive instruction manual guiding you through the straightforward installation process. Please note that all mat kits of 13m2 or larger consist of two heating mats, as does the 11m2 kit. A thermostat is required to control the heat output; this product does not include one and must be purchased separately.
It’s important to consider that these mats are specifically designed for lower 140W/m² output suitable for laminate and engineered wood floors. They are not intended for use directly under carpet, and careful planning is advised to ensure the heat loss from your room is accounted for when selecting a thermostat.
