Underfloor Heating Thermostats

Quality Underfloor Heating Thermostats

Heat Mat’s thermostats are manufactured by OJ Electronics in Denmark, one of the worlds leading manufacturers of controls for electric underfloor heating. They are all manufactured entirely in Denmark in BEAB approved factories and all are full 16 Amp models, the highest rating that is usually required.

A Thermostat to Suit Your Requirements

Whether you require a fully programmable thermostats/timer, a simple on/off controller or a silver unit to match your new décor, Heat Mat can provide a quality unit to match your requirements.

Innovative solutions

Heat Mat remain at the forefront of the technological developments in the market for thermostats for underfloor heating. The most recent addition to the range is Heat Mat’s wireless infra-red floor temperature monitor. This unique battery powered product is fitted onto the wall in the room you wish to measure the floor temperature in and uses an infra-red beam to measure the floor temperature. The sensor then wirelessly transmits the floor temperature reading to the thermostat that can be situated in another room or even in a cupboard. The net result is less wiring for the installer and much greater flexibility about thermostat and sensor positioning.

Text Message Control

New to the market in the Autumn of 2008, Heat Mat will be offering a text message controlled unit that can operate thermostats remotely. This product is designed for situation where you may wish to turn your underfloor heating (and fridges, freezers, lighting etc.) on or off remotely. The greatest interest in this product so far has come from the holiday home sector where people wish to arrive at their property with the heating and lights on and a cold fridge. Heat Mat’s innovative solution makes this possibility a reality and at the same time can dramatically cut down on fuel bills as systems do not need to be left on all of the time.

BEAB Approved & 3 Year Warranty

Heat Mat supply BEAB and VDE approved thermostats with extended 3 year warranties on all products. See www.heatmat.co.uk for further details.

Underfloor Heating Mats

Simple and trouble free to install...

Our heating mats are simple and trouble free to install. They are particularly suited to large areas where their installation will be quicker than a loose 3mm cable system.

A large range of sizes...

They are supplied in outputs of 160W or 200W per square metre and come in a large range of sizes allowing you to select the perfect system whatever your room dimensions. In normal circumstances they do not add any build height to your tiled floor as they are so thin that they are contained within the tile adhesive layer.

Pre-spaced & fixed heating cable...

At only half a metre wide and constructed from a fibreglass mesh, the mats have our 3mm thin heating cable pre-spaced and fixed beneath the mesh to help protect the cable during installation. The heating cable is twin-conductor and earth shielded so that, unlike many other suppliers' products, it emits negligible EMF radiation.

100% floor coverage...

Unlike heating ribbons and carbon panels, 100% coverage of the free floor area can be achieved as the mat can be cut and turned and the cable can be stripped off to fill in any awkward areas.

Suitable for tile & stone floors...

200W/m² mats offer a rapid warm up time and are suitable for use beneath tile and stone coverings where they can provide primary heating in the vast majority of rooms including conservatories. When the 200W/m² heating mats are laid onto a wooden base a 2-3mm skim of tile adhesive should be used to cover the base first.

Suitable for carpet, wooden floors & vinyl...

160W/m² mats are suitable to provide floor warming beneath the same floor coverings and in addition can be used beneath carpet, bonded wooden floors and vinyl when used with Thermoplan levelling compound. In well insulated rooms they can provide primary heating.

Benefiting you & the environment...

Both systems are suitable for use with Heat Mat Thermal Tilebacker Boards which will enable them to run more efficiently, benefiting you and the environment.

Approved & guaranteed...

Both of these high quality systems are fully BEAB and VDE system approved, CE marked and guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty which is extended to a Lifetime Warranty on completion of the registration form at www.heatmat.co.uk

Underlaminate Heating System

A unique product to provide safe, maintenance free, underfloor heating Our unique underlaminate system is a simple to fit solution if your choice of floor covering is floating laminate or engineered board flooring. It provides a heat output of 140W/sqm and, when used with our 6mm insulation, it provides a full heating system with a build height of only 7mm. The system is supplied in various mat sizes that can be cut and turned as required to ensure a perfect fit every time, with 95% floor coverage easily attainable (many carbon systems can only manage 80% coverage in small and complicated rooms).

No levelling compounds or earth grids required

Unlike the majority of the other systems on the market, Heat Mat’s underlaminate system does not require covering with levelling compounds, earthing grids or damp-proof membranes before use, significantly reducing the cost and time of installation.

Safety first

The heating cable is fully earthed for safety, the aluminium layer above is purely for heat dissipation. The full earth allows the underlaminate system to be safely used in virtually any type of room including bathrooms and, unlike carbon films and similar systems, the system will always trip out an RCD if the inner insulation is damaged in any way whatsoever.

Made in the UK

The system is entirely manufactured in the UK ensuring a consistently high quality product and a minimum of product travel miles between manufacture and installation. The underlaminate system should be controlled by Heat Mat’s innovative BEAB approved thermostats, one for each room, ensuring it is controlled in the most efficient way.

Lifetime guarantee

The system is fully CE marked and guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty which is extended to a Lifetime Warranty on completion of the registration form at www.heatmat.co.uk

In-screed 7mm Heating Cable

Value for money product

Our 7mm heating cable is designed as an economic to purchase and install heating solution for new build applications. It can be used beneath virtually any floor covering and is normally installed within a screed bed which then acts as a 'storage radiator'. Installed in this way the system can provide sole source heating in most circumstances.

Safe & secure

The 7mm cable is twin-conductor and earth shielded so that, unlike many other suppliers' products, it emits negligible EMF radiation. The cable is protected from stretching by a Kevlar thread and has a heavy-duty outer insulation to prevent damage during the building process. See www.heatmat.co.uk for further information.

Simple to vary output

The system should always be laid onto a suitable insulation layer and we recommend Cellotex Double-R or Heat Mat thermal tilebacker board. Metal fixing bands can be supplied to allow you to attach the cable to the insulation layer and the bands have pre-spaced fixing points allowing the desired wattage output to be easily attained by varying the cable to cable distance. As an alternative the cable can be secured to reinforcement mesh rather than using fixing bands.

Compatible for use with virtually any floor covering

When used beneath tiles or stone we would recommend an output of 160W/m² - 200W/m² and for use under any other type of covering such as laminate or vinyl an output of 160W/m² is desirable. If this system is laid beneath a 50-70mm screed at an output of 160W/m² any floor covering can then be installed on top. This is particularly useful when the final floor covering has not been specified.

External frost & snow protection as well

With the appropriate thermostat the 7mm heating cable can be used outside to provide frost and snow protection allowing compliance with any related health and safety regulations. In these circumstances an output of 270W/m² is desirable.

Approved & guaranteed...

This high quality systems is VDE approved, CE marked and guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty.

Undertile 3mm Heating Cable

Quality underfloor heating with no increased build height

Our 3mm loose heating cable is a product which allows you the flexibility to provide underfloor heating to any room regardless of shape and size at a wattage of your choice. In normal circumstances, 3mm cable will not add any build height to your floor as it is contained within the tile adhesive layer allowing the floor covering to be laid immediately after the cable is installed.

A fully approved quality product

The 3mm cable is the same as that used on our heating mats and is twin-conductor and earth shielded so that, unlike many other suppliers products, it emits negligible EMF radiation. The cable is protected from stretching by a Kevlar thread and is affixed to the floor with the double-sided tape which we provide.

Underfloor heating beneath virtually any floor covering

The 3mm cable is suitable for installation directly beneath tile and stone coverings at any wattage and can be used beneath carpet, bonded wooden floors and vinyl when restricted to no more than 160W/m² and covered with Thermoplan levelling compound. We would recommend a minimum of 160W/m² to provide sole source heating and in badly insulated areas a higher wattage will be required.

Vary the output to your desired level

The 3mm cable allows you to increase the output of your heating system in areas where this is desired. By altering the distance between cable runs you could install the cable at 160W/m² over the main floor area and 200W/m² in front of a draughty doorway if required.

Compatible with insulation board to benefit the environment & your pocket

This system is suitable for use with Heat Mat thermal tilebacker board which will enable the heating to run more efficiently benefiting both you and the environment.

Approved & guaranteed...

This system is fully BEAB and VDE system approved, CE marked and guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty which is extended to a Lifetime Warranty on completion of the registration form.
