It used to be that radiant floor warming mats were, once upon a time, supplied as one long continuous length of cable with the consumer having to weave the cable up and down the floor at a pre-determined spacing and making a return loop to complete the circuit.

However, recent and improved designs in radiant floor warming mat cables have a built-in return meaning that you only have one end to connect instead of having to close the circuit by bringing each end of the cable back to the thermostat. Far from complicated to install, radiant floor warming mats have taken the hard work out of the install by having the radiant heating cable already pre-spaced on to a nylon mesh and all you have to do is simply start at your thermostat location and roll it out over the floor until it’s all used up.

You might think that a floor warming mat is difficult and time-consuming to install, and has the risk of uneven heating spacing – but times have changed since those early days of the radiant heat technology. Let’s get you up-to-date on how many improvements have been made to radiant floor warming systems, contributing to it fast becoming a popular choice for energy-efficient and cost-efficient home heating.
