FAQs

Can I cut the heating cable?

No, the heating cable itself must never be cut. You can cut and reposition the glass fibre mesh to navigate around obstacles, but avoid any damage to the heating wire.

What is the warranty on the ProWarm Electric Underfloor Heating Mat?

ProWarm offers a lifetime warranty on their electric underfloor heating mats, along with a CableSafe Guarantee for accidental cable cuts during installation.

Is this suitable for wet rooms?

While designed for bathrooms, ensure all electrical connections and the thermostat are installed according to IP ratings and local building regulations for wet areas. Professional installation is highly recommended.

How much does it cost to run?

Running costs depend on your electricity tariff, the wattage of the mat, the insulation of your room, and how often it is used. The 100W mat is generally the most economical to run.

Can I install this myself?

The matting can be installed by a competent DIYer, but the final electrical connection to the mains must be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

What is the difference between the 100W, 150W, and 200W mats?

The wattage indicates the heat output. 100W is for background warmth or new builds, 150W is for primary heating in standard rooms, and 200W is for faster heat-up or rooms with significant heat loss.

Can I tile directly onto the mat?

Yes, the ultra-thin 2mm cables are designed to be tiled over directly with appropriate tile adhesive or levelling compound.

Troubleshooting

Heating mat not turning on

Check the electrical connection to the thermostat and the main power supply. Ensure the thermostat is programmed correctly and the temperature setting is lower than the ambient room temperature. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Uneven heating or cold spots

This could indicate an issue with cable spacing or damage. Ensure the mat was laid evenly and no part of the heating cable was stretched or damaged during installation. Contact ProWarm support if the issue persists after checking installation.

Thermostat not responding

Check the thermostat's power supply and ensure all connections are secure. Try resetting the thermostat according to its manual. If the problem continues, the thermostat may need replacement.

Error code on thermostat

Consult the thermostat's user manual for a breakdown of error codes and their corresponding solutions. Common issues might relate to probe failure or circuit breaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plan your layout and ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and insulated to maximize efficiency.
  2. Lay the heating mats, securing them with the self-adhesive backing. The mats can be cut and repositioned (but not the heating cable itself) to fit the space.
  3. Install your chosen thermostat and temperature probe according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Connect the system to your electrical supply (this must be done by a qualified electrician).
  5. Finish the floor with a suitable screed or tile adhesive, allowing it to cure fully before energizing the heating system.

Compatibility:

This mat is ideally suited for use with tile, stone, and ceramic floors. It can be used in conjunction with a suitable levelling compound or tile adhesive. Ensure compatibility with your chosen flooring manufacturer's guidelines.

Care:

The heating mat itself requires no regular maintenance once installed. However, ensure the thermostat is kept clean and functional. Periodically check the floor surface for any anomalies. For cleaning the floor surface, use standard cleaning methods appropriate for your finished flooring material.
