heating under carpet as well as tile - TilersForums.com

thank you for the link... I don't suppose you know if you can connect extra length to the heating cable? the area is about 36m, the site only says the cables go up to 19m. looks just what I'm after though

The maximum length of cable will be determined by the amount of current the system draws.
You mentioned it was over several rooms, it wouldn't make sense to have it all controlled by one thermostat, each room would want its own.
Why heat a room if it's not being used.
And personally I'd prefer a bathroom to be warmer than my bedroom.
But it is a great system and simplicity itself, just as the Schlüter system is.

yes its exactly what I was thinking... impressive system (and expertly laid may I add)
the rooms are master bedroom 36m, en-suite 4m, guest bedroom 35m, en-suite 6m, main bathroom 10m. so it would have 5 thermostats. its just if the system would do the bedrooms really... I hope so as it looks the real deal.

Well with regular electric UFH it should not be run beneath permanent items of furniture or sanitary ware. I can't imagine this being any different.
So you would preferably have some kind of room layout plan to work to, therefore avoiding wardrobes and the like. By the time you leave these spaces out, as you can see in the images above, you may well find you're down to 20m2 anyway.
However, most controllers take multiple mats, up to 4 normally I think, so increaseing the m2 up to even 30m2 from 19m2 is never going to be a problem.

Well I did NOT know that!
Just had a look at @Uheat - Jake website? one of our sponsors, and they do a similar system.
I couldn't see which floor coverings it's suitable for, but I'm sure they can easily supply that information in a post here.
Which would be interesting for future reference.

Our HeatBase can be used with any floor finish, however with a carpet or engineered wood you'd need a 10mm SLC over the top of the heating cables. We can offer a foiled backed heating mat as well for carpet and wood.
