In Screed Mat
$220.00 – $1,104.00
Simple to install, and embeds in screed to heat a variety of floor finishes.
Features & Benefits
The mat heater features an easy-to-install design that fits any room shape
Provides heating beneath a wide range of floor coverings, including tile, marble, stone, engineered timber and luxury vinyl tiles
Durable and tough heating cable, insulated with premium Fluropolymer materials
The FHK in-screed heating mats provide an efficient solution for warming your home, ideal for heating a variety of floor finishes, including tiles, stone, ceramic, carpet, vinyl, engineered timber, and more. The mat design reduces installation time and eliminates the need for fixing loose heating cables to steel mesh or fixing rails nailed into the floor.
These mats are designed for easy installation on concrete floors or insulated tile backer boards. They feature three main components: evenly spaced 4mm heating cables for optimal heat distribution, a durable mesh with adhesive tape strips for fast and secure installation, and factory-fitted cold tail leads for connecting the mat to the thermostat.
Ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, the FHK in-screed heating mat creates a cosy environment in any room—be it a bedroom, office, bathroom, or more. The system operates quietly and is controlled via a thermostat, letting you set the temperature to your preferred comfort level.
The in-screed heating mats come in two heat outputs (mat wattage): 150W/m² for living areas and 200W/m² for bathrooms. Designed for easy installation, they can be rolled out directly onto the floor right from the box.
To enhance performance and lower running costs, we recommend using insulated tile backer boards beneath the mat heater.
Product Details
The In Screed Mat kit includes:
- In screed mat heater
- Cable alarm monitor with batteries (for testing & monitoring for breaks)
- Installation guide
- Note: Thermostats are sold separately
The FHK in-screed heating mats are made using high-quality cables securely attached to a 500mm wide mesh, ensuring optimal heat output by maintaining the correct cable spacing. This design also makes installation simple, as the mat is easily rolled out to cover the required heating area.
The heating cable is a series-type, twin conductor heating cable with a 2.5m cold lead on one sides for power connection.
The heating conductor is enclosed in an initial Fluoropolymer insulation layer, which is itself wrapped in a protective metal shielding, before being encased in a final plastic outer sheath. The final diameter of the heating cable is 4mm.
The cold lead junctions are prefabricated and rigorously tested in a controlled factory environment to ensure reliability.

Installation
FAQ
Is electric in-screed heating safe to use?
Yes, electric in-screed heating systems are safe when installed properly. They are designed with built-in safety features, such as temperature sensors and circuit breakers, to prevent overheating or electrical malfunctions.
How thick should the screed layer be for electric in-screed heating?
The screed layer for electric in-screed heating should typically be around 25-40mm thick. This thickness ensures that the mat heater cables are properly covered and that the heat is distributed evenly across the floor. Note where screed layers exceed 40mm, an insulated tile backer board should be used to restrict heat losses into the floor below.
Do I need to insulate beneath the screed for better performance?
Yes, it is highly recommended to install insulation beneath the screed layer to maximise the efficiency of the in-screed heating system. Insulation helps to direct the heat upwards into the room rather than allowing it to dissipate downward, making the system more energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Will electric in-screed heating increase my electricity bills?
While electric in-screed heating may increase your electricity usage, it is designed to be energy-efficient, helping to keep costs down. By using insulated tile backer boards and programmable thermostats to optimise the system’s use, you can minimise energy consumption and reduce heating costs in the long run.
