Choose by floor type
Comfortable, even electric underfloor heating designed for compatible laminate and engineered wood floors.
WoodTec is the straightforward, low-profile solution for floating floors. Plan the complete build-up, insulation and floor-temperature control together for reliable performance.
Choose the right system
For most compatible floating laminate and engineered wood floors, WoodTec is the simplest direct solution. MD mats and UltraTec cable offer embedded alternatives when the project needs a different layout or floor construction.
Recommended direct solution
Purpose-designed for compatible floating laminate and engineered wood floors
Embedded alternative
A pre-spaced option for regular-shaped areas where a covered heating layer is preferred
Flexible alternative
A loose-cable route for irregular rooms, detailed layouts and awkward floor areas
Plan the complete system
WoodTec combines a slim foil heating mat with the insulating layer and controls needed for a compatible floating floor. Size the heated area before ordering and plan every layer as one system.
Compatible laminate or engineered wood can be laid directly over WoodTec, with no additional underlay above the mat. Always follow the heating and flooring manufacturers’ instructions.
Start with WoodTec for a direct floating-floor installation, or compare alternative embedded systems for a compatible covered build-up.
Planning your project
Clear answers to common questions about selecting, sizing and installing electric heating beneath compatible floating floors.
Yes. WoodTec is designed for compatible floating laminate and engineered wood flooring. Always confirm that the chosen flooring is approved by its manufacturer for use with electric underfloor heating.
Yes. A 5mm XPS insulating underlay is an essential part of the WoodTec installation. It sits below the foil heating mat and helps the system operate effectively.
Compatible floating laminate or engineered wood can be laid directly over the WoodTec mat, without another underlay above it. Follow the WoodTec instructions and the flooring manufacturer’s installation requirements.
Engineered wood is generally more dimensionally stable for heated floors than solid timber. Do not assume a solid wood product is suitable: obtain written approval and temperature limits from the flooring manufacturer before specifying the system.
Use the maximum temperature stated by the flooring manufacturer and configure a compatible thermostat and floor sensor accordingly. The permitted limit varies by flooring product, so it should be confirmed before installation.
WoodTec mats are normally planned to cover approximately 85–90% of the free floor area. Exclude fixed furniture and other areas that the installation instructions say must not be heated.
Yes. Multiple correctly sized mats can be connected in parallel for larger rooms. Heating mats must not be shortened, and the electrical load, testing and final connection should be checked by a suitably qualified electrician.
They can form part of a compatible build-up when the heating system is fully covered with a suitable self-levelling compound before the approved floor finish is installed. Confirm the covering depth, thermal resistance and floor-temperature limits for every layer.
Use a compatible thermostat and correctly positioned floor sensor to control the system within the flooring manufacturer’s limits. Electrical testing, connection and certification must be completed in accordance with the product instructions and applicable regulations by a suitably qualified electrician.
