Products
There are many different kinds of electric floor warming products and installation methods available. We only use quality products and recommend installation methods that meet or exceed industry standards.
There are two main types of electric radiant heating systems:
Mats – The mats are pre-engineered and do not require any on-site adjustments. They are available in both standard and custom options. We recommend custom mats as they provide 100% coverage - without any cold spots.
Cables – Cables are available in standard lengths and the layout is configured on-site by the contractor.
Installation Methods
Mats – The mats are only 1/8” thick and are embedded into acrylic modified thinset directly over the prepared subfloor.
In wet locations, such as showers, the mats are installed over the water-proof membrane using acrylic modified thinset.

Step 1
Place the Nuheat Mat into fresh acrylic modified thinset to create 100% contact between the mat, thinset and subfloor.
Step 2
Secure floor sensor probe between heating wires.
Step 3
Apply a layer of thinset and install tile/stone flooring as per manufacturer's instructions.
Cables & Membrane - The membrane is pressed into acrylic modified thinset and the cable is snapped into place.

Step 1
Roll Nuheat Membrane onto the thinset mortar and press with a roller or a flat trowel. Lay down the next sheet and align it with the previous one without overlapping. Line up the pillars to facilitate the installation of the heating cable.
Step 2
Snap the Nuheat Cable into the Nuheat Membrane.
Step 3
Apply an additional layer of thinset mortar on top using a notched trowel suitable for the tile type/size.
