Undertile Heating - Flooring
To ensure the Warmup Undertile Heating Mat
is suitable for your floor please read the
following section.
Floor Finishes
Warmup Undertile Heating Mat is suitable for
use under any ceramic or natural stone floor
tiles including:
• Slate
• Marble
• Porcelain
• Terracotta
• Limestone
The underfloor heater will also work under
thicker floor finishes such as flagstones;
however this type of flooring will take
longer to heat up.
Warmup Undertile Heating Mat MUST NOT be
fitted under:
• Vinyl
• Wood (incl. Laminate)
• Cork
• Carpet
In addition to regular floor finishes, a
cement-based smoothing underlayment can be
used to cover or protect the heater as part
of pre-tiling work (e.g. when laying
flagstones). The floor must be tiled using a
cement based tile adhesive and grout
containing their matching flexible additive,
strictly in accordance with their
manufacturers' instructions.
Subfloor Preparation
The underfloor heater may be fitted on a
solid (concrete) subfloor. The subfloor must
be smooth, clean and free from old adhesive
residues or bitumen.
If damp-proofing or tanking systems are
being used, it is advisable to contact the
manufacturer of the system for advice.
Normally, it will be necessary to apply at
least 5mm of smoothing underlayment on top
of the finished tanking.
Chipboard, MDF and OSB boards are not
appropriate bases for tiling.

Solid Floors -
Concrete
If tiling on a concrete floor, Warmup
recommends the use of Warmup Insulation
Board to improve the performance and
efficiency of the underfloor heating system.
Warmup Insulation Board is fixed directly to
the subfloor with tile adhesive. The heater
is then fitted directly on top of the board
before being tiled over.
Un-insulated concrete or screed
subfloors may also be fitted with
the Warmup Undertile Heating System, however
they will be less responsive and take
significantly longer to heat up (sometimes
in excess of 8 hours). |

Extended heat up times will lead to higher
running costs. |

Underfloor
Heating Thermostats
If you are like many homeowners and work
outside the home during the day and have a
different schedule on the weekend, a
programmable thermostat can offer many
benefits, and the return on your investment
is usually within 1 year. On the other hand,
if you are home throughout the day, seven
days a week, then a programmable thermostat
will offer more limited benefits.
The new Warmup Thermostat; XSTAT offers
innovation in temperature control for
underfloor heating. The programming
flexibility means that the XSTAT is
perfectly suited to the residential,
commercial or institutional markets.
New XSTAT available in both White and
