Quality Underfloor Heating Thermostats
Heat Mat’s thermostats are manufactured by OJ Electronics in
Denmark, one of the worlds leading manufacturers of controls for electric
underfloor heating. They are all manufactured entirely in Denmark in BEAB
approved factories and all are full 16 Amp models, the highest rating that is
usually required.
A Thermostat to Suit Your Requirements
Whether you require a fully programmable thermostats/timer, a
simple on/off controller or a silver unit to match your new décor, Heat Mat can
provide a quality unit to match your requirements.
Innovative solutions
Heat Mat remain at the forefront of the technological
developments in the market for thermostats for underfloor heating. The most
recent addition to the range is Heat Mat’s wireless infra-red floor temperature
monitor. This unique battery powered product is fitted onto the wall in the room
you wish to measure the floor temperature in and uses an infra-red beam to
measure the floor temperature. The sensor then wirelessly transmits the floor
temperature reading to the thermostat that can be situated in another room or
even in a cupboard. The net result is less wiring for the installer and much
greater flexibility about thermostat and sensor positioning.
Text Message Control
New to the market in the Autumn of 2008, Heat Mat will be
offering a text message controlled unit that can operate thermostats remotely.
This product is designed for situation where you may wish to turn your
underfloor heating (and fridges, freezers, lighting etc.) on or off remotely.
The greatest interest in this product so far has come from the holiday home
sector where people wish to arrive at their property with the heating and lights
on and a cold fridge. Heat Mat’s innovative solution makes this possibility a
reality and at the same time can dramatically cut down on fuel bills as systems
do not need to be left on all of the time.
BEAB Approved & 3 Year Warranty
Heat Mat supply BEAB and VDE approved thermostats with
extended 3 year warranties on all products. See www.heatmat.co.uk for further
details.
Simple and trouble free to install...
Our heating mats are simple and trouble free to install. They
are particularly suited to large areas where their installation will be quicker
than a loose 3mm cable system.
A large range of sizes...
They are supplied in outputs of 160W or 200W per square metre
and come in a large range of sizes allowing you to select the perfect system
whatever your room dimensions. In normal circumstances they do not add any build
height to your tiled floor as they are so thin that they are contained within
the tile adhesive layer.
Pre-spaced & fixed heating cable...
At only half a metre wide and constructed from a fibreglass
mesh, the mats have our 3mm thin heating cable pre-spaced and fixed beneath the
mesh to help protect the cable during installation. The heating cable is
twin-conductor and earth shielded so that, unlike many other suppliers'
products, it emits negligible EMF radiation.
100% floor coverage...
Unlike heating ribbons and carbon panels, 100% coverage of
the free floor area can be achieved as the mat can be cut and turned and the
cable can be stripped off to fill in any awkward areas.
Suitable for tile & stone floors...
200W/m² mats offer a rapid warm up time and are suitable for
use beneath tile and stone coverings where they can provide primary heating in
the vast majority of rooms including conservatories. When the 200W/m² heating
mats are laid onto a wooden base a 2-3mm skim of tile adhesive should be used to
cover the base first.
Suitable for carpet, wooden floors & vinyl...
160W/m² mats are suitable to provide floor warming beneath
the same floor coverings and in addition can be used beneath carpet, bonded
wooden floors and vinyl when used with Thermoplan levelling compound. In well
insulated rooms they can provide primary heating.
Benefiting you & the environment...
Both systems are suitable for use with Heat Mat Thermal
Tilebacker Boards which will enable them to run more efficiently, benefiting you
and the environment.
Approved & guaranteed...
Both of these high quality systems are fully BEAB and VDE
system approved, CE marked and guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty
which is extended to a Lifetime Warranty on completion of the registration form
at www.heatmat.co.uk
A unique product to provide safe, maintenance free, underfloor heating
Our unique underlaminate system is a simple to fit solution if your choice of
floor covering is floating laminate or engineered board flooring. It provides a
heat output of 140W/sqm and, when used with our 6mm insulation, it provides a
full heating system with a build height of only 7mm. The system is supplied in
various mat sizes that can be cut and turned as required to ensure a perfect fit
every time, with 95% floor coverage easily attainable (many carbon systems can
only manage 80% coverage in small and complicated rooms).
No levelling compounds or earth grids required
Unlike the majority of the other systems on the market, Heat
Mat’s underlaminate system does not require covering with levelling compounds,
earthing grids or damp-proof membranes before use, significantly reducing the
cost and time of installation.
Safety first
The heating cable is fully earthed for safety, the aluminium
layer above is purely for heat dissipation. The full earth allows the
underlaminate system to be safely used in virtually any type of room including
bathrooms and, unlike carbon films and similar systems, the system will always
trip out an RCD if the inner insulation is damaged in any way whatsoever.
Made in the UK
The system is entirely manufactured in the UK ensuring a
consistently high quality product and a minimum of product travel miles between
manufacture and installation. The underlaminate system should be controlled by
Heat Mat’s innovative BEAB approved thermostats, one for each room, ensuring it
is controlled in the most efficient way.
Lifetime guarantee
The system is fully CE marked and guaranteed by a 15 year
manufacturer's warranty which is extended to a Lifetime Warranty on completion
of the registration form at www.heatmat.co.uk
Value for money product
Our 7mm heating cable is designed as an economic to purchase
and install heating solution for new build applications. It can be used beneath
virtually any floor covering and is normally installed within a screed bed which
then acts as a 'storage radiator'. Installed in this way the system can provide
sole source heating in most circumstances.
Safe & secure
The 7mm cable is twin-conductor and earth shielded so that,
unlike many other suppliers' products, it emits negligible EMF radiation. The
cable is protected from stretching by a Kevlar thread and has a heavy-duty outer
insulation to prevent damage during the building process. See www.heatmat.co.uk
for further information.
Simple to vary output
The system should always be laid onto a suitable insulation
layer and we recommend Cellotex Double-R or Heat Mat thermal tilebacker board.
Metal fixing bands can be supplied to allow you to attach the cable to the
insulation layer and the bands have pre-spaced fixing points allowing the
desired wattage output to be easily attained by varying the cable to cable
distance. As an alternative the cable can be secured to reinforcement mesh
rather than using fixing bands.
Compatible for use with virtually any floor covering
When used beneath tiles or stone we would recommend an output
of 160W/m² - 200W/m² and for use under any other type of covering such as
laminate or vinyl an output of 160W/m² is desirable. If this system is laid
beneath a 50-70mm screed at an output of 160W/m² any floor covering can then be
installed on top. This is particularly useful when the final floor covering has
not been specified.
External frost & snow protection as well
With the appropriate thermostat the 7mm heating cable can be
used outside to provide frost and snow protection allowing compliance with any
related health and safety regulations. In these circumstances an output of
270W/m² is desirable.
Approved & guaranteed...
This high quality systems is VDE approved, CE marked and
guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty.

Quality underfloor heating with no increased build height
Our 3mm loose heating cable is a product which allows you the
flexibility to provide underfloor heating to any room regardless of shape and
size at a wattage of your choice. In normal circumstances, 3mm cable will not
add any build height to your floor as it is contained within the tile adhesive
layer allowing the floor covering to be laid immediately after the cable is
installed.
A fully approved quality product
The 3mm cable is the same as that used on our heating mats
and is twin-conductor and earth shielded so that, unlike many other suppliers
products, it emits negligible EMF radiation. The cable is protected from
stretching by a Kevlar thread and is affixed to the floor with the double-sided
tape which we provide.
Underfloor heating beneath virtually any floor covering
The 3mm cable is suitable for installation directly beneath
tile and stone coverings at any wattage and can be used beneath carpet, bonded
wooden floors and vinyl when restricted to no more than 160W/m² and covered with
Thermoplan levelling compound. We would recommend a minimum of 160W/m² to
provide sole source heating and in badly insulated areas a higher wattage will
be required.
Vary the output to your desired level
The 3mm cable allows you to increase the output of your
heating system in areas where this is desired. By altering the distance between
cable runs you could install the cable at 160W/m² over the main floor area and
200W/m² in front of a draughty doorway if required.
Compatible with insulation board to benefit the environment
& your pocket
This system is suitable for use with Heat Mat thermal
tilebacker board which will enable the heating to run more efficiently
benefiting both you and the environment.
Approved & guaranteed...
This system is fully BEAB and VDE system approved, CE marked
and guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty which is extended to a
Lifetime Warranty on completion of the registration form at
