Most floor finishes are suitable for use with underfloor heating providing the floor has been prepared correctly and any Manufacturer's temperature guidelines have been adhered to. With finishes such as wood laminates and carpets, it is essential that the heating mat is completely covered with a suitable Floor Leveling Compound before the specified finish is fitted.

No, the mat Element cannot be shortened as this will alter the resistance of the element which may lead to overheating. It is therefore important that the area to be heated is measured accurately (free floor area only) and that you select the closest smaller area element. Please feel to ask us for help.

The devimat is designed to be laid directly onto an existing floor surface, so does not require insulation. However, if there is room within the floor to add insulation or a tile-backer board we strongly recommend this as it will enhance performance and reduce operating costs. Please contact us for information on Insulation board (FBoard).

The mat has an adhesive backing and if the floor is dusty or greasy, it will not stick particularly well. Priming the floor will significantly help the mat to fully adhere to the floor surface.

The underlay usually supplied with wood laminate is an acoustic about 2-3mm thick, this is acceptable. If you are installing anything other than this, please call our technical team at DEVI for advice.

DEVI does not recommend that the devimat is installed under any such fixtures for a number of reasons. eg. (a) It can inhibit the heat being produced from the system. (b) If ever a fault was to occur it would be extremely difficult to carry out a repair etc.
