This depends on a number of factors like the sub-floor type and insulation: a cement sub-floor will be slow to warm without a thermal insulation barrier, creating a significant drag on the performance of the floor heating. A layer of high quality insulation will have a dramatic effect in these circumstances, speeding up the initial warm up times to within 15-20 minutes. We recommend the use of Fastwarm® underfloor heating insulation.

Cablewarm underfloor cable heating mats are manufactured from twin conductor, thin profile (3mm), double insulated and earth braided heating cables attached to a 500 mm open weave mat backing at 70mm centres to produce a standard 160 watts per square metre (W/m² ) output.

This will depend on the U Value of your room. This is an industry term for the total measure of resistance of each component that makes up the fabric of the building. Simply put, this means that old buildings will lose heat faster than modern buildings where the latest materials are incorporated. Insulation will go a long way towards offsetting these drawbacks, helping to retain the heat within the room.

For single heating cables the floor spacing pitch can be adjusted closer together down to a minimum of 50mm, this will result in a higher wattage output per m². If under floor cable heating mats are too long select the nearest heating mat down from within the Cablewarm™ range. If in any doubt always work out how many widths of 500mm will be required to fill the area of the floor you intend to heat.

A high quality thermal barrier will slow the process of heat loss into the sub-floor, significantly improving the performance, speeding the initial warm up times and reducing the electricity costs. We recommend Faswarm under floor heating insulation.

Each under floor heating installation is controlled by a programmable, digital thermostat. This will maintain your floor temperature and on/off times at a precise setting according to your own individual taste.

Unfortunately not. The installation of tile heating can only be done before the tiles are laid. If however you have purchased a new existing home without tile heating, you can have a carpet heater installed under a loose lay rug to negate the problem.

The surface temperature of the floor depends upon several variables: the spacing between adjacent runs of cable, the depth from the cable to the tiles??? surface, the total thermal mass of the floor, and the temperatures of the room and area beneath the floor. For this reason, the temperature range will vary from installation to installation. Generally, Warm Tiles cables will warm a floor to a maximum of about 90??F.

It is highly recommended that you connect your under floor cable heating system via a fused spur (to isolate the heating system for future maintenance). The power supply should be from a safety contact breaker (RCD) to the thermostat, an electrician will be able to advise you.

All Cablewarm™ underfloor cable heating systems come with a 10 year manufacturer's guarantee.

This is possible but there are a number of extra steps involved. All underfloor heating cables require fully encapsulating. The application of a leveling compound screed will be necessary to prepare the heated floor prior to laying the underlay and laminate flooring.

You will need to accurately measure the area of the floor you intend to warm in square feet. Do not include areas under objects such as toilets, vanities, or other inaccessible areas. Measurements should be as accurate as possible.

All of the mud, tar, dirt and grime that you track into your car ends up deposited nicely on your car floor. How easy is it to remove the carpet and wash it? Put down a pair of floor mats and you can easily remove and wash them and at the same time protect your cars floor. Too Late? Is your floor already dirty beyond repair? Add a pair of floor mats to cover that dirt up today. You'll see a difference.

A. Again, this depends on the type of tile you choose. Generally speaking, our floor tiles can be mopped regularly with tile cleaners. We also have stronger cleaners for the initial cleaning, products that are designed to remove any grout residue. These products may also be used to remove most stubborn marks on your floor. Porcelains and some natural products like terracotta and slate require different products; we can give you all the information and a demonstration in the showroom.

Yes. If the old tiles are high-gloss, we recommend sanding them down first to increase bonding strength. Then use a high-strength latex thinset to install the new tile.

It is only necessary to heat the kiln to about 85 degrees F (29 degrees C) to start the dehumidification process. Once started, the process feeds itself by recycling the heat recovered from the air. Initial warm-up can be done with nearly any type of heating system. Usually, small kilns or single kiln chambers use electric heat, while larger kilns may employ a gas, oil or wood boiler to provide heat.

There are many variables that can effect the floor temperature, but generally the floor will warm to about 90°F. Warming Systems products are designed for easy installation by the average do-it-yourselfer, making sure all local electrical building codes are followed.

Absolutely not. If you received carpet floor mats with your vehicle these mats will not be the same. First, these mats are at least twice the weight of your factory mats and generally thicker as well. In addition, although custom floor mats are designed for your particular vehicle, they are being made by private companies that do not necessarily make the pattern exactly the way the factory decided to make it.

We add grommets if they were part of the original OEM mat....there are a few exceptions such as BMW's, C6 Corvette, etc. that are exclusive to the vehicle maker and can only be purchased through a dealer. In the cases where we can't get the correct grommets, we do not put the grommets in the mats. You really won't see anything as the ones we can't produce are more of the flat snap type so the mat just lays over them.

The choice is yours. The mats can either be used as replacement floor mats or they can be used in conjunction with your existing mats.

Absolutely. All tiled floors need expansion joints and with heating installed the need for expansion joints is even more critical.

Many people 'discover' a wonderful, original Victorian style floor when they move into a new (old) home or maybe lift a hall carpet or other floor covering. These floors are typified by small unglazed clay tiles in earthy colours; red, black, buff, sometimes with white, blue and green elements, laid in geometric repeating patterns with sometimes quite elaborate borders. The usual problem with these floors is a build up of waxes, polishes and many years of general dirt and grime.

On most mats, you can order embroidery, heel pads and/or grommets. Floor Mat Guys' provides embroidery services on any two-piece driver and/or passenger floor mats.

Floor Mat Guys' floor mats will provide years of satisfaction with proper care. Clean the floor mats regularly by vacuuming them. Our mats can be washed with mild soap and water and hung out to dry to produce wonderful results. Do not wash the floor mats in a washing machine, it may damage the machine.

Weathertech Rubber Floormats are made from heavy virgin rubber and will not shift around due to both a good fit and to the weight of these heavy duty floor mats. Husky Liners floor liners are custom made for each vehicle and will not move around due to a perfect. In addition to the perfect fit, Husky Liners benefit from Sta-Put Nibs on the underside of the mat, which prevent movement.

Lloyd Floor Mats are finished with an attractive and durable color coordinated nylon velour edging. There's no yarn to unravel and no vinyl edging to detract from the floor mats appearance.
