Nuheat Membrane significantly decreases the time, difficulty, floor height, weight, & cost of your overall floor heating installation.Nuheat Membrane is a tile underlayment that can be installed over the entire subfloor for uncoupling, crack isolation and waterproofing purposes. It replaces the need for a second layer of plywood or concrete backer board in most tile installations.The polypropylene plastic layer features square-shaped columns which form channels specially designed to embed and hold Nuheat Cable. The shape of Nuheat Membrane also functions as a vapor management system that allows moisture to escape from the substrate during the curing process. It's polypropylene layer is heat-welded to a non-woven polypropylene fabric that absorbs thinset and creates a strong bond to the subfloor.Additional benefits include:Even floor heat distributionOn-site adjustments are made easily for complex floorplansNo need for a second layer of plywood or concrete backer boardsLowers the finished floor heightSignificantly reduces installation time & material cost of installing a Nuheat Cable System

Easy-ish install. Just pay attention to the instructions.
I have this product installed in a kitchen/breakfast area. The area is about 300ftsq so I have it divided into 2 zones (2 thermostats). 2 key points are to be sure you use the correct mortar for bedding the mat and for setting the tile. It calls for unmodified mortar for the tile, which is a money saver as its usually the least expensive mortar. Some mfg have brought out “membrane” mortar, which is what I used (mapei). Keep the mats lined up to make the cable install easy. And watch the wire spacing. More than once I had to pull up and re-route the wire because I didn’t pay attanetion to the spacing recommendation (amazing how well it worked when I read the instructions). Wiring was simple once I ran the 2 dedicated circuits to the thermostats. I waited 7 days before starting the system and then no problems. It takes a little trial to set the correct temp for the floor as to not be too hot and overheat the room.

For electrical floor heating cables there’s nothing better.
Is this Matt a little more expensive? Yes. Is it worth it, and time saving and materials? Yes. If you’re putting heat under a tile floor there is no better way to go. Simple fast easy saves time and money.
