Electric heat system

Mapeheat is the name of a new underfloor electric heating system from Mapei. Designed for commercial and residential applications, the new system provides a rapid-fit solution and energy saving benefits. Its thin profile and waterproof construction make it suitable for all internal environments – in new builds, renovations and remodelling projects, including kitchens, bathrooms, steam rooms and other spa environments.

The product can receive various types of floor finishes such as ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles, wood and laminate flooring, and sheet vinyl. The three components – membrane, cable and mesh – can be used in conjunction with Mapeheat’s three thermostat options: Thermo Basic, Thermo Touch and Thermo Connect.

The membrane is a lightweight uncoupling antifracture and waterproof membrane that prevents transmission of in-plane substrate cracks up to 3mm wide and eliminates the need for a second layer of plywood or concrete backer board in most tile installations.

The cable is a free-form, twin coil floor heating cable which provides comfortable radiant heat. The mesh – the self-adhering, pre-wired floor heating mesh – is compatible with all subfloor types.
