cables a 10 year warranty.
FIRST FLOOR MAT200
Our new powerful 200watt mat has
been specially introduced for use as a
sole source of heat subject to a heat loss
calculation. The mat is primarily designed
to provide extra power for areas such as
conservatories, kitchens, and lounges to
go under tiles, stone or marble. The cable
is woven into our adhesive fibre glass
mesh and at only 3mm thick it is one of
the thinnest systems on the market today.
Surpasses International

FIRST FLOOR MAT160
FIRST FLOOR CABLE
Our 160watt mat has all the attributes
of our 200watt mat, but has the added
benefit of being able to be applied on
marine ply/wood surfaces.
Our 10watts/metre loose cable range
is widely used when a matted system is
not practical, especially in areas which
have awkward shapes and obstructions
particularly in bathrooms
Its main aim is to provide comfort heat by
heating tiles to give a luxury underfoot
feel.
Our mats are uniquely designed to aid the
installer by making them completely sticky
on the underside and having a peel off
film to enable the installer to design how
he wants to lay the mat before sticking it
down.

FirstFloor Mat floor heating mats are one
of the easiest systems to install on the
market today. The twin conductor, single
lead elements are mounted onto a fabric
mesh which means it does not want to
go back into its original roll shape when
being laid. With a large range of sizes
available it is suitable for both large and
small areas.
FirstFloor Mat is available in two standard
power outputs, 160w/m² and 200w/m².
FirstFloor Mat rated at 160w/m² is ideal
for comfort heating, while the 200w/m²
are widely used for a primary source of
heating. Please check on the insulation
properties of the building and carry out
a heat loss calculation before deciding on
the correct heater size.

INSTALLATION DETAILS
FirstFloor Cable is perfect for the DIY enthusiast or specialist contractor, a qualified
electrician can advise on the electrics and help you with the final connection to the mains
FAQ’s
How much will the running
costs be ?
Based on a 160watt mat, running costs
will work out at under 1p/m2 per hour.
How long will it take for my floor
to warm up ?
This is dependent on how well insulated
the sub floor is. When using our insulated
construction boards under tiles the
floors will be at temperature within an
hour. Using the 200watt system will also
give you a faster heat up time over the
160watt system.
Is it necessary for an expert to install
our matted or cable systems?
Installation is ideal for either the DIY
enthusiast or approved installation
contrators. The electrical supply must
be protected by a correctly sized RCD
(Residual Current Device), either at
the mains or a fused spur. The system
connects to your household wiring and it
is recommended the final mains electrical
connection is made by a qualified
electrician.
Contact FirstFloor Heating Direct technical support for help on Tel: 08081293020
Designed for operation at 230V installation requires an R.C.D. (residual current device)

Going Green !!
There is a real pay-back with insulated
floors in terms of energy and running cost
savings. Before you know it the boards
will have paid for themselves.
Why insulate ?
Systems rated at 160 w/m² and 200W/
m² are installed on uninsulated
concrete floors with good results both
in conservatories and internal rooms.
However, due to the thermal dynamics
involved, a cold uninsulated concrete
subfloor will absorb up to 30% of the
heat load down into the floor. Without
insulation the heat up rate is slower and
running costs higher. It is a fact however,
many installations have critical floor levels
and a layer of insulation, just 10mm, is
not practical. To make the best use of the
installed energy, insulation should be
installed, either below the subfloor or as
a layer of insulation backing board on top
of the subfloor, OR BOTH.
Where can’t I lay the underfloor
heating?
When using the FME for underneath
woods, care should be taken not to
place any heating beneath areas where a
thermal block will be placed on the top
floor covering. Furniture without air gaps
beneath them or large beanbags prevent
the heat from escaping and could cause
the system to overheat.
Please also set the controller to Air and
floor mode to turn on the floor limiter.
