Whether you are renovating a bathroom, upgrading a kitchen or adding warmth to a living space, our \u003cstrong\u003eunderfloor heating mats\u003c\/strong\u003e and accessories provide a complete solution for both new builds and refurbishments. The \u003ca title=\"to the product Dural decoupling membrane for heating cable\" href=\"#\"\u003eCI-H decoupling mat\u003c\/a\u003e from DURAL forms the foundation of the system: it decouples the floor covering from the substrate while securely holding the DEVI \u003ca title=\"to the product DEVI heating cable\" href=\"#\"\u003eheating cable\u003c\/a\u003e within its stud structure. The result is a maintenance-free \u003cstrong\u003eunderfloor heating\u003c\/strong\u003e system with a build-up height of just 6 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/5603\/6671\/files\/Heizmatte-CI-H-Ambiente-4.webp?v=1756903290\" alt=\"Electric underfloor heating mat with heating cable installed in a living room\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the System Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe principle is straightforward. The DURABASE CI-H decoupling mat is bonded to the prepared substrate using thin-bed adhesive. Once set, the DEVIcomfort 10T \u003cstrong\u003eunderfloor heating cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is simply clicked into the stud structure of the mat – no additional fixings required. The full layer build-up is as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from the bottom, you have the existing substrate, then tile adhesive, the DURABASE CI-H decoupling mat, the DEVI heating cable seated between the studs, another layer of tile adhesive, and finally the top surface of tiles or natural stone. The entire system is controlled by a \u003ca title=\"to the product DEVI thermostat for underfloor heating\" href=\"#\"\u003eDEVI thermostat\u003c\/a\u003e with a \u003ca title=\"to the product DEVI temperature sensor\" href=\"#\"\u003eDEVI temperature sensor\u003c\/a\u003e, allowing precise room-by-room temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Electric Underfloor Heating Mats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing \u003cstrong\u003eelectric underfloor heating mats\u003c\/strong\u003e over water-based systems offers several practical advantages – particularly when heating individual rooms or during renovation projects:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance-free – no bleeding, no risk of freezing or leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low build-up of just 6 mm – ideal for refurbishments without raising floor levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick and easy installation thanks to the easy-click stud system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual room control via programmable thermostats with app connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe decoupling mat protects tiles from cracks and stress caused by substrate movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-year warranty on DEVI heating cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the heating sits invisibly beneath the floor, there is no need for radiators, giving you more freedom in your room design. The even heat distribution from below also creates a comfortable climate with less dust circulation – a real benefit for allergy sufferers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/5603\/6671\/files\/Heizmatte-CI-H-Ambiente-2.webp?v=1756903268\" alt=\"Decoupling mat for underfloor heating with heating cable in a bathroom setting\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Flooring Works with Electric Underfloor Heating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DURABASE CI-H system is designed exclusively for use with ceramic tiles and natural stone. These materials are natural heat conductors and store warmth effectively, releasing it evenly into the room. A heated tile floor also dries faster after use – especially handy in bathrooms. Other floor coverings such as vinyl, laminate or carpet are not suitable for this system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Substrates Are Suitable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the key advantages of the DURABASE CI-H is its versatility when it comes to substrates. The mat can be installed on:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew or existing screed (cement-based and calcium sulphate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete and fresh screed (once walkable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProblematic existing coverings such as damaged or outdated tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden floors and OSB boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry screed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the system particularly well suited for renovation projects. The decoupling function compensates for movement in the substrate and prevents cracks from transferring through to the tile surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are the Drawbacks of Electric Underfloor Heating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the benefits are substantial, there are a few points worth considering. Running costs can be higher than water-based systems when used as the sole heat source over large areas. For this reason, an \u003cstrong\u003eelectric underfloor heating kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is often best suited as a comfort or supplementary heating solution for individual rooms. Heavy furniture and thick rugs should not be placed on heated areas, as they restrict heat output. Additionally, the electrical connection of the thermostat and heating cables must be carried out by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Heat Output by Room Type\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe required heat output depends on the room type and the level of floor insulation. By adjusting the cable spacing within the stud structure, you can tailor the performance to each room:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRoom Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRecommended Heat Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eDry rooms with insulated floors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e≥ 100 W\/m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFloors without thermal insulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e130–160 W\/m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003eWet rooms (e.g. bathrooms)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e150–180 W\/m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DEVIcomfort 10T heating cables are available in 13 different lengths ranging from 10 to 170 m. The closer the cable is spaced within the mat, the higher the heat output per square metre.
