MYHEAT Pre-Wired Carbon Film Underfloor Heating Element

MYHEAT electric underfloor heating film is the easy way to install comfortable floor heating that lasts for decades, requires no maintenance and provides significantly lower running costs than alternative heating systems.

Providing greater comfort than any other heating system, MYHEAT film is the most efficient means of heat delivery in existence. It is a low temperature system which emits radiant heat energy (like that from the sun) to provide unrivalled comfort. Allergy suffers will benefit from the near absence of air circulation, dust and dryness associated with traditional heating systems.

Further Information

Installed as part of a refurbishment or new-build project, MYHEAT electric underfloor heating film can be mounted on top of concrete or timber subfloors or built into floors so that you can apply any floor finish that you wish. It is ideal for installation where the intended floor finish will be a floating hardwood, wood, laminate or wooden parquet floor. It is also equally suitable for carpets, vinyl and lino when used with our overlay board system.

MYHEAT heating elements rated 130W/m² or 160W/m² are a very versatile underfloor heating system.

If you are installing MYHEAT heating elements on top of any wood or solid concrete sub-floor, you must install a layer of 6mm thick MYHEAT thermal insulation first to minimise downward heat losses and prevent damage to the MYHEAT heating elements. Thermal insulation also helps to 'quieten' the subsequent floor surface. The insulation can be cut to accommodate the interconnection wiring and floor sensor.

Once the MYHEAT electric underfloor heating elements have been laid and the connections made, the whole floor should be covered with a layer of polyester vapour barrier - available from MYHEAT.

Where the edges of the polyester sheeting meet they should be overlapped by 200mm to prevent water coming into contact with the heating elements if there should ever be any spillages on the floor.

Features include:

  • Dry installation no self levelling compound required
  • Suitable for most laminate & engineered hardwood floors
  • Extremely low build height – less than 7mm
  • Quick installation – roll out the film & connect pre-wired elements
  • Two heat outputs -130W/m² & 160Wm² for conservatory use
  • Suitable for carpet & vinyl floors when used in conjunction with MyHeat Dual Board Overlay System

Installation Guide

Typical refurbishment projects

If you are carrying out home refurbishment, and want to experiance a wonderfully heated floor, then electric underfloor heating film is ideal. The fillm means there is minimal floor build up.
Heating film can be installed:
  • Onto an existing sub-floor.
  • Under wood or laminate flooring.
  • Where floor build has to be minimised.

Thermostat locations

If you use floor and room temperature control, the thermostat should be installed 1.5m from the floor, in a location free from draughts and direct sunlight.
If you use floor temperature control only, the thermostat may be installed out of view, perhaps in a cupboard.

Floor sensor locations

The floor sensor must be located directly beneath the heating film. A channel can be cut into the insulation to accommodate this.

Important maintenance notes

Once the electric underfloor heating film is installed it must be covered with a vapour barrier. This will stop any fluid spilled on the floor coming into contact with the element.
