Underfloor-Heating-Mat

Due to its simplicity of installation, the mat system is currently the most popular. An electric driveway heating system with matting consists of electrical cables spread out on an approximately 4 mm thick fiberglass mat. The mats can be laid immediately on a driveway due to their thin thickness.

The mats can be covered with a single adhesive layer before being covered with floor tiles. After the foundation is finished, the floor can also be asphalted.

Advantages

  • Easy to install on an existing driveway.
  • Rapid heating of the floor because the mat is close to the floor surface.

Cons

  • Primarily suitable for smaller spaces that do not need to be permanently heated (due to power consumption).
