EcoFoil Aluminium Heating Mats provide gentle, energy-efficient radiant warmth beneath floating laminate and engineered hardwood floors — even in wet environments like bathrooms and shower rooms, where ECOFILM carbon elements should not be used.
The built-in aluminium layer helps disperse heat evenly across the floor while acting as a protective earth layer, making EcoFoil a safe, effective, and completely dry installation solution for modern homes aiming to reduce heat loss and improve comfort.
Pairing EcoFoil mats with suitable insulation supports lower running costs and faster heat-up times, helping you enjoy a warmer space while reducing wasted energy
ECOFOIL Aluminium Heating Mats provide electric radiant heat under laminates which are installed in wet environments like bathrooms and shower rooms. ECOFOIL underfloor heating mats are made of a heating cable encased in an aluminium foil.- Quick Installation – simply roll out the mat and fix to the floor
- Suitable for use under floating laminate and engineered hardwood floors
- Fully earthed aluminium foil offers electric radiant heat in wet areas
- Dry installation – no self levelling compound required
- Low build height – only 7mm when used in conjunction with ECOMAX Lite insulatio
- Safety Requirements: The system must be protected by a 30mA RCD (Residual Current Device).
- Installation Method: These mats are for dry installation—no self-levelling compound is required.
- Insulation: Do not install the foil mat directly onto a concrete slab; it must be installed on top of a suitable, soft insulation board to minimize heat loss.
- Limitations: Do not install the heater under fixed furniture or sanitary ware (toilet, bath), and maintain a 50mm clearance from walls.
-
Thermostat: The thermostat must be located outside the bathroom.
