Installing floor heating mat


Installing Radiant Heating Floor Mat (homegardenblog)



We installed heated floor for our kitchen in winter of 2006.  It is called radiant heated floors.
The mats are placed between the kitchen counter where you spent most of the time cooking. Be careful not to damage or cut the heating wire. Inspite of our strict instruction contractor kept the bucket. On the bottom left corner is the multimeter to monitor the resistance (ohms) during the installations. SunTouchProgrammable Floor Stat Model: 500600-120R. It has day, night and vacation setting.



We used SunTouch electric heating mats. We had to use two 8'x30" mats. Temperatue is controlled by Suntouch Programmable Floor Stat (Model: 500600-120R)


You can distribute the mat by cutting.


CAUTION: Only cut the red plastic mesh. Do not cut the blue heating wire.

This is a cool idea. I can imagine the feeling one have having warm floors in winter. This blog inspires me to have radiant heating. How are the ceramic tiles doing? Does the heat crack them?
