I have concrete floors, do I need to install insulation board before installing the mats?
We would always recommend installing insulation boards on concrete floors, to stop the heat being lost into the concrete.
Can i install on top of a suspended wooden floor
Hello, yes the mat can be installed onto a solid fixed wooden flooring, as long as you fit a self-leveller over the top of the mat before tiling.
How long do I have to wait before turning on my in screed underfloor heating?
We recommend a minimum of 1 day drying time per mm of screed fitted. This may vary between screed manufacturers, and a better guide may be supplied by them
How much screed is required over the in screed heating cable?
For an in screed cable, fitted to insulation, a minimum 70mm screed is required. This level can be reduced to 50mm depending on the type of screed used, for example liquid screed may allow for less. For an in screed cable, fitted onto an insulated concrete floor, a minimum of 35mm is required.
Can I use any flooring over the in screed cable?
Yes, as the system is in a screed, you can change and use almost any flooring over the top. Compatibility with the system is dependant on the flooring, and we would always recommend checking with your flooring supplier before purchase.
Why would I use an inscreed cable instead of a mat?
The inscreed cable is designed to be installed in the flooring screed, and not directly under the flooring.
