30.0 sq. ft, 120V Ceramic & Stone Tile Electric In-Floor Heating Mat - ThermoTile TT20-120

I read all the directions and watched the online videos before I started my install. The steps of the install were very easy, but I found it hard to get the mats to stay flat on the concrete. I recommend laying out your entire floor before you start to glue or tape down, as I did. I used a glue gun on the mesh, which helped quite a bit, but the cords themselves were so curved from being rolled up in the box that when I put down the self-leveling pour, some of the ends of the coil loops didn't get submerged. I added a little extra back-buttering on my ceramic tiles to ensure a level tile floor, but it was not without difficulty. If I had it to do over, I think I would use duct tape on the coils in addition to the glue gun on the matting. I had an electrician run a new line from my panel to wire the thermostat and it works great. I love the heat and think for the price this mat is a great deal.I did buy the resistance meter as recommended and checked several times during my install. I also thought about where I wanted my thermostat to be so that my heating coils ended near that area. The cord for the coils is thicker than the system itself, so I recommend chiseling a little trench in the floor to bury the cord. I was able to run it under a baseboard and into my wall from there. I only installed the one floor sensor, but it's probably a good idea to install two just in case. One last tip - be sure to get a good seal with your thinset over the entire tile. If you have any trapped air, the heating elements won't heat the tile properly, The tiles must be in contact with the cement/elements for the system to work correctly. This is important because of the issue I had with the coils not laying down during the installation.

This was my first time installing radiant heating in a floor, it was quite easy actually, I took all the precautions not to damage the coil during installation...Only mistake I made was ordering the wrong thermostat, I chose the Honeywell Thermostat shown where Amazon indicates other "customers who bought this product, bought this" but it was a 240V and was made to work with ambient temperature instead of a floor sensor, which connects to the thermostat.. Anyway, I reordered it even though it was 3 times more the cost, but it worked out perfectly... Never will I assume that what others buy is the right product. We all learn by our mistakes.

It heats up, but it kinda takes its time.... I wanted it warm within 5 minutes... But it took like 10 before you felt anything... 20 minutes before I liked the way it feels

Easy to use and run in whatever coverage you need. No problems after 5+ years of use so I used the same product in a second larger bathroom. Overall easy to setup with thermostat and temperature sensor. Great product at a good price.

Had this installed for a while now and it works so well. I smile every time I walk into the warm tiles

Purchased three mats in 2007. Two 15sf and one 30sf. One 15sf mat quit working within the first year and now after 7.5 years the 30sf mat has failed. (Two different bathrooms.) Really not happy with the reliability of this mat. They warm nicely when working but now.... we have cold floors. I don't recommend them. When the first mat failed the warranty was to rent a tester from the manufacturer to hopefully determine where the fault is, pay the shipping for tester, then they would send you a "repair" kit in which you are supposed to hopefully find the failure under the floor and fix. If you don't have good notes of the mat layout you're going to have to replace the entire floor or do without heated floors.

very easy to install and cut the mat to turn corners...or vary the layout

Super easy to install and its made in America. I called to ask how many amps it draws and I was on the phone with a friendly smart sales guy in a few seconds not a call center. Its 1.5 amps on full draw by the way. Great product and great company. Thanks for making it in AMERICA!
