80 sqft HeatTech 120V Electric Tile Radiant Floor Heating Mat

I installed this in my bathroom to keep the tile heated. The product works as advertised, no complaints there. I would suggest an improvement to the instructions however. They mention two installation techniques. The first is to install thinset over the mesh, let it cure, then install another layer of thin set/mortar with your tile. The second is to lay down the thin set/mortar and apply tile in one step. This second method is for advanced/very skilled folks. The problem is that if you don't cover your floor completely with the heated mat, you will have tiles which are not level. They will set partially on the wire, and partially on your subfloor. This makes tiling difficult. To make this job MUCH easier, lay the mesh down on your subfloor, and pour self leveling compound over it and let it cure. This will give you a very level flat surface upon which to place your tile. As a bonus, with the self leveling compound, you won't have to worry about nicking the wires with your trowel, which could easily damage the unit, rendering it worthless.

I absolutely Love this Product it was deivered with no problems there was nothing broken nothing Damaged or missing Which is getting harder and harder these days for some reason For the most part The description was pretty accurate the only problem it was a little different in size that was written up in the Description. it was a little disappointing that's why it didn't get 5 stars but the product itself Is great its working fantastic. if you pay attention to details and read all directions for what to do and what not to do you will be in great shape great shape. You don't have to be in the trades to install this product. I would definitely recommend This and have recommended it to many other people But I've told them if you have any doubt whatsoever call the company to get the right size if there's any doubts While Doing the installation And hooking up the buried wires that would be underneath the tile and connect it to the electric mat ( I'm referring to the thermostat wire )that Operates the Electric heat mat, I ran a second backup wire In case something should happen over time to the original wire the whole project would it be deemed useless , I also ran the wire up to the thermostat but again it's not hooked up it's just a backup . In the event it would stop working I could just hook up the extra wires I ran without ripping everything out.

We had a tile heater put in our bathroom about 10 years ago when we remodeled. When we started to remodel our kitchen we decided to put in another tile mat. I did some research into how the mats are constructed and after looking at the HeatTech web site, I felt comfortable doing the work myself along with the tile work.I was able to cut and mold the mesh of this mat into the shape of the area in front of the stove and sink with no problems. The bottom of the mat is sticky enough that it adhered to the clean concrete floor of the kitchen and stayed put while I troweled on the mortar. I was using an 18" tile with a 1/4" notch on the trowel and that covered the mesh and the wire without any problem. There is no noticeable height difference in the tile with the mat and those without. If you used a smaller notch size, you would need to be more careful because the wire is probably 1/8" itself.FWIW, I chose to install two sensors and place them several feet apart. When our bathroom mat was installed, they only used one. It stopped working after a few years and so the mat stays on full time and the controller does little other than supply power. We keep it at low temps through the winter and then turn it off in the spring. In a way, it's nice because our bathroom is always a comfy 78F degrees.

Bought this for our bathroom remodel and although it is difficult to install if you have never tiled before I am very satisfied with this purchase. My wife is even more excited because no more cold floors. Will recommend to anyone because it really works. Make sure to read ENTIRE instructions before installing. You will need to also buy sensor and thermostat if you are looking to install this heat mat. I really am glad that I made the investment in this product.

Does what it claims to do. Heated flooring adds so much to any bathroom remodel... even in So Cal. Also warms up the ambient air temperature of the surrounding area. Worth the money. Just be sure not to order too much sq footage as you cannot cut the heating cable down. I used the HONEYWELL TH115-AF-120S thermostat with it. It took an electrician very little time to wire up.

This was installed in the renovation of our bathroom in August of 2014 and I love it! To walk onto a toasty warm tile floor at 7am is heavenly!I had an electrician install the electrical part. Somone who is handy and knowledgable about electricity can install it themselves. When it's 30 degree's out, you'll thank yourself for having this underfoot!

Radiant heat under the tile floor works perfect.Love it during the winter months.

Does exactly what I was thinking. Used it to heat up a tiled bench in a shower.
