It is not recommended that you install any type of UFH directly beneath carpet or vinyl flooring, however our Heating Mats and Cable can be used with carpet or vinyl floor surfaces by encasing the entire heating system in a minimum of 8mm of a flexible levelling compound. The levelling compound will protect the cables and insure the heat is evenly distributed to the floor finish.
