Electric Heating Mats

Overview

SunAura electric heating mats are the fastest way to add comfortable underfloor heating to ceramic, stone and tile floors. Each mat is a self-adhesive heating element that unrolls like a carpet, bonds directly into tile adhesive, and delivers a guaranteed 160 W/m² of gentle radiant heat — quick to warm, invisible after installation and completely maintenance-free.

Every mat is double-insulated and shielded along the entire length of the heating cable, protecting against electromagnetic radiation and electric shock. All SunAura mats are EMF-free, safe for bathrooms, kitchens and garages, and supplied with a 25-year warranty.

Key Features

• Guaranteed 160 W/m² output — pre-spaced cable on a self-adhesive mesh delivers even radiant heat, with no cable-spacing measuring on site.
• Self-adhesive, 3.6 mm thin — unroll, peel and press into tile adhesive; the ultra-thin profile means renovations over existing floors usually need no door adjustments.
• Double-insulated, fully shielded — shielding runs the entire cable length for an EMF-free design safe for bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
• 110 V or 230 V builds — 0.5 m standard mat width with custom widths available, matched to your local grid.
• Fast warm-up, zero maintenance — the element sits in the thin adhesive layer rather than a screed, so floors warm within tens of minutes; no boiler, filters or servicing.
• 25-year warranty — supplied with a warranty card and step-by-step guide; compatible thermostat with floor sensor bundled on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Double Conductor Heating Cable Mat

Our double conductor heating cable mat is the fast, precise way to install electric underfloor heating. Cables are pre-spaced on a flexible mesh backing, so you simply roll the mat out, embed it in tile adhesive, and tile over — no measuring, no cable spacing, no clips. It is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and commercial spaces.

• Pre-spaced cable mesh — guaranteed even spacing for uniform heat across the whole floor.
• Double conductor design — single cold-tail connection, no cable return loop.
• Ultra-thin profile — minimal floor height increase; works under tile, stone and hard finishes.
• Fast heating — reaches target temperature quickly for energy-efficient comfort.
• Long service life — rated 15–25 years, maintenance-free and silent.

Suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, offices, hotels, and both renovation and new-build projects. Pair with a SunAura Thermal smart thermostat for app-based or voice-controlled temperature management.

Planning a bathroom renovation or a new kitchen and looking for a 160 W heating mat under tile? This section collects what installers and distributors most often ask before ordering: factory-direct wholesale pricing, the typical order process for mats in 0.5 m widths, OEM/ODM options, and how samples and bulk discounts work. Because the mat installs directly into tile adhesive at just 3.6 mm thickness, it is one of the fastest electric underfloor heating products to specify — and the purchasing information below shows how to order it without guesswork.

Factory-Direct Wholesale Pricing & How to Buy

SunAura heating mats are manufactured in our own facility and sold factory-direct, so wholesale price and bulk discounts reflect production cost rather than a long chain of middlemen. The exact figure depends on mat area, voltage (110 V or 230 V), quantity per order and your export terms (EXW or FOB), so the most reliable quote comes from a short enquiry rather than a public price list. Tell us how many square metres you need and where the project is located, and we will come back with a same-day quotation.

To request a quote, contact our sales team with your room list — or message us on WhatsApp for a quick answer about stock availability and sample dispatch.

Ordering & Shipping Process

Every mat order goes through the same routine. First, send the room dimensions and tile layout; remember the mat must keep the manufacturer’s minimum edge distance from walls and fixtures, so the heat area is slightly smaller than the room. Second, our team confirms the mat area per circuit, checks the electrical load against your supply, and recommends one thermostat with floor sensor per zone. Third, we resistance-test each mat before packing, and include the warranty card, step-by-step installation guide and protective sensor tube. Fourth, goods ship by sea, air or express courier in export cartons; for trade accounts we can consolidate mats, thermostats and accessories into one container.

Because the mat is self-adhesive and only 3.6 mm thick, freight is efficient and damage-free in normal cartons — there are no heavy screed kits to ship. For e-commerce partners, neutral packing and drop shipping can be arranged for selected regions; ask whether your market is covered.

Customization & OEM Support

For distributors and brand owners we offer OEM/ODM programmes around the 160 W/m² mat: private-label cartons, custom mat widths on larger orders, co-branded installation manuals, and matched thermostat bundles with floor sensors. The double-insulated, fully shielded construction and EMF-free design are standard on every mat, so branding changes never affect the electrical safety case. We also supply the double-conductor pre-spaced cable mesh format as a related product for installers who prefer to cut loops around awkward room shapes.

Applications & Installation Scenarios

The mat is at home wherever tile, stone or porcelain is set in adhesive. In bathrooms it turns cold morning tile into a warm surface and pairs with a bathroom-rated thermostat and floor sensor for safe wet-zone control. In kitchens and hallways it supplies comfortable warmth exactly where people stand most. Hotels, salons and showrooms use it as invisible main or supplementary heating with zero maintenance after commissioning. For renovation jobs the 3.6 mm profile means the floor level barely changes, so doors and skirting boards usually do not need adjustment.

If your finished floor is wood or laminate rather than tile, a different element makes more sense: the graphene heating film is laid in dry installation over insulation, and our 0.5 mm aluminum film heating mat goes directly under laminate where floor height is critical. For projects tiled over very large or irregular areas, the loose double conductor heating cable gives installers full layout freedom. The whole range is on the underfloor heating category page.

More real-world layouts are shown on our applications page, and answers to common wiring and sensor questions are collected in the FAQ hub.

Running Costs & Energy Saving

Because the mat heats only the thin floor layer rather than a heavy screed, it reacts quickly to thermostat changes, and smart scheduling can cut energy use by up to 30% compared with a permanently-on floor — a figure we quote because our own thermostats are designed around it. Actual running cost depends on your electricity tariff, room insulation and the hours you really heat; a well-insulated bathroom used for an hour or two each morning and evening costs only a small amount per day in most markets. There is zero combustion and zero CO₂ in use, no boiler to service, no filters to replace, and no fan blowing dust around — which is why the mat also suits households with allergies.

Pairing With the Right Thermostat

A thermostat with a floor sensor is not optional on a mat system: it protects the tile adhesive and the floor structure by capping surface temperature, and it is what makes scheduling savings possible. We supply manual, programmable and WiFi smart thermostats, each with the protective sensor tube, and can pre-select the model your market expects when you place the mat order. If you already favour a different thermostat brand, send us the specifications — we will confirm compatibility before you commit.

Warranty & After-Sales Support

Every SunAura mat is covered by a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects in the heating element and connections, and ships with a warranty card and step-by-step guide. The warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, mechanical damage or incorrect voltage supply — which is why we insist on a qualified electrician for the mains connection and on protecting the cold tail during tiling. Our engineers stay available after commissioning: if a circuit reads abnormal resistance, send us the multimeter readings and room layout and we will help trace the cause before the floor is covered. For trade accounts we keep installation drawings and test records on file, so any warranty claim is handled quickly.

Purchasing & Installation FAQ

FAQ

1. How do I calculate the right 160 W heating mat size for my bathroom?

The mat covers the open floor area only — not the space under the bath, toilet or vanity — and keeps the manufacturer’s minimum edge distance. Because the mat cannot be cut across the cable mesh, sizing is done by choosing from standard mat areas; send us the bathroom layout and we will select the closest mat for an accurate heating mat under tile calculation.

2. Can I walk on the self-adhesive heating mat before tiling?

The self-adhesive backing is meant for positioning the mat in tile adhesive, not as a walking surface. The normal sequence is to press the mat into the adhesive layer and tile over it the same day, so the self-adhesive heating mat in tile adhesive never needs to carry foot traffic for long.

3. What happens if the mat cable is accidentally damaged during tiling?

Every mat is double-insulated and fully shielded, but the safe practice is a resistance test before tiling and a second one at handover, so damage is caught while the floor is open. A professional heating mat repair routine is documented in the supplied guide, and abnormal readings should be reported to us before tiling over.

4. Is the 3.6 mm profile enough to avoid door clearance problems?

Yes — the heating layer itself is only 3.6 mm including the cable, which is why this 3.6 mm underfloor heating mat is the standard choice for renovations over existing floors. In the vast majority of jobs the combined adhesive and tile build-up means door frames do not need planing, though your installer should still check each door swing.

5. Does the full-length EMF shielding matter in bedrooms or living areas?

It does for customers who are sensitive about electromagnetic fields: every mat is double-insulated and shielded along the entire cable length, which is what makes it a true EMF-free underfloor heating mat suitable for bedrooms and children’s rooms as well as wet areas.

6. Can the mat be installed under natural stone such as marble?

Yes. Stone and porcelain conduct heat well, so a heating mat under marble or natural stone responds quickly and feels pleasantly warm underfoot. A floor sensor thermostat is mandatory with stone finishes because the surface runs cooler than the air above it.

7. What is included in a wholesale electric heating mat kit?

Each mat ships with the cold tail, warranty card and step-by-step installation guide, and we bundle the compatible thermostat with floor sensor and protective tube on request. For distributors, a standardised electric heating mat kit wholesale pack — mat, sensor tube and thermostat — keeps installation fast and ordering simple.

8. How long does a 160 W heating mat take to heat a tiled bathroom?

Because the element sits in the thin adhesive layer rather than inside a screed, the floor warms up within tens of minutes, and a smart thermostat can pre-heat the bathroom before your morning routine. In practice a 160 W heating mat warm-up time is short enough that you only pay for the heat you actually use.
