Frequently asked questions about the Floor heating category
What is floor heating and what types are available?
Floor heating — is a built‑in system that distributes heat evenly across the floor; types include water‑based (hydronic) and electric (heating mats or cables). Our category focuses on electric heating mats rated 160 W/m and Matec thermostats (digital, Wi‑Fi, IP20/IP40) for control.
What electric options are in the category (power and area)?
The range includes electric heating mats at 160 W/m supplied as kits: 70W (0.5 m²), 130W (0.8 m²), 210W (1.3 m²), 260W (1.6 m²), 340W (2.1 m²), 410W (2.6 m²), 560W (3.4 m²), 670W (4.2 m²), 810W (5.1 m²), 1000W (6.1 m²), 1210W (7.6 m²).
How to install electric floor heating (heating mat)?
Lay the heating mat on a level substrate, fix with adhesive or mounting tape and cover with tile adhesive per instructions. Use a Matec digital thermostat for control; electrical connections should be carried out by a qualified electrician following wiring diagrams and safety rules.
Can electric floor heating be placed under a carpet?
Heating mats at 160 W/m are not recommended under thick or multilayer carpets because this reduces heat transfer and risks overheating. Under a low‑profile carpet it may be possible, but always check compatibility with the mat and the thermostat manufacturer.
How does electric floor heating differ from water-based?
Electric uses mats/cables and responds quickly to the thermostat; water‑based uses warm water circuits, requires a manifold and heat source and suits larger areas. Our store focuses on electric 160 W/m mats and Matec thermostats.
How to connect a Matec thermostat to a heating mat?
Connect the Matec thermostat per wiring diagram: live and neutral to the heating output terminals, and place the temperature sensor inside conduit between mat loops. A certified electrician should perform the electrical connection; choose thermostat model (IP20/IP40, Wi‑Fi) based on room conditions.
How to turn on floor heating using a Matec thermostat?
Set the desired target temperature on the Matec digital or Wi‑Fi thermostat and select Auto/Heat; the thermostat will control the mat based on the floor sensor. Specific menu steps depend on the model (LCD, Wi‑Fi) — consult the included manual.
Is a 160 W/m heating mat suitable for a bathroom?
160 W/m mats can be used in bathrooms provided correct waterproofing and a suitably rated Matec thermostat (recommend IP40 for wet areas). Install the floor sensor and follow installation and electrical safety instructions.
Which Matec thermostats are available and how do they differ?
Available Matec thermostats include digital LCD models (IP20/IP40), Matec PP for air+floor, and Wi‑Fi 16A 230V units — they differ by protection rating (IP21/IP40), display and remote control capability. Choose by room requirements and needed features (auto mode, scheduling, Wi‑Fi).
How to choose heating mat power by room area?
Use the reference 160 W/m and apply it to the usable, unfurnished floor area; e.g. 2.6 m² → 410W mat, 5.1 m² → 810W. Do not place mats under fixed furniture or sanitary fixtures.
Can a Wi‑Fi thermostat control heating mats remotely?
Yes, Matec Wi‑Fi 16A 230V thermostats support remote control and scheduling via a mobile app when connected to the network. Ensure the thermostat is compatible with the mat power and installation requirements.
