Heated Laminate Flooring in Toronto

Laminate flooring started being used in residential flooring decades ago. It is a popular choice because of its ease of installation, attractiveness, and durability. At Heavenly Heat we offer a wide range of products to ensure that you have the perfect solution for heating your laminate floors.

Laminate Underfloor Heating

When it comes to laminate floors, the secret to effective underfloor heating is ensuring thermal conductivity. This is important when you have dense laminate floors installed. The higher the density of the flooring material and the thinner it is, the shorter the heat-up time and the more responsive the heating system will be.

Electric Systems for Laminate

The best underfloor heating system for your home will depend on the floor size, height of the floor as well as a range of other factors. At Heavenly Heat we recommend one of three options.

Easy Mat

This is made of high-quality heating cables that are woven into flexible strips. Easy mats are ideal for heating basements, bathrooms, sunrooms, and other areas where warm floors offer greater comfort. Easy Mats come in three heat requirement strengths; 12, 15, or 20 Watts per square foot. 12 Watt per square foot is perfect for secondary comfort heating whereas 20 Watt per square foot is ideal for primary room heating.

Why Choose EasyMat?

  • The heating element is 1/8 inches thick and so doesn’t affect the floor levels
  • EasyMat’s flexibility makes it easy to work around existing fixtures or in cramped floor layouts
  • It can be used as the primary or secondary source of heating
  • Temperature thermostats permit independent temperature regulation in various heating zones
  • Do It Yourself is possible with EasyMat

Easy Wire

EasyWire is perfect for heating sunrooms, bathrooms, and basements. It comes in varying heat requirement strengths from 10 to 20 Watt per square foot. 10 Watt per square foot is recommended when underfloor heating is being used as a secondary comfort heating whereas 20 Watt per square foot is ideal where underfloor heating is used as the primary room heating.

Why Choose EasyMat?

  • Operates on the ordinary current already in your home
  • Easy installation
  • The heating element is 1/8 inches thick so doesn’t affect the floor levels
  • It is flexible and easy to install around fixtures and in cramped floor layouts
  • Can be used as a primary or secondary source of heating
  • Floor temperature thermostats help regulate heat in each heating zone
  • DIY is possible

Self-Regulating Cable

This is a cUL listed self-regulating parallel heating cable designed for both residential and industrial applications. The cable increases or reduces heat output depending on the ambient temperature. The cable can never overheat even when it is overlapped.

Why Choose Self-Regulating Cable?

  • Its energy-efficient
  • Easy to install
  • Low installation cost
  • No risk of overheating or burnout
  • Can be used in non-hazardous and corrosive elements

Thermal Conductivity of Laminate

To get great thermal conductivity, it is imperative that you choose laminate flooring with dense materials. The denser the material is the better it will be at transferring heat. It is also good to note that the thinner the flooring material is the faster it will transfer heat.

Floor Thickness

With underfloor heating, both solid wood and laminate flooring make a great floor covering. This is provided the material isn’t overly thick. For the best results, the thickness should be a maximum of 18mm. A thickness thicker than this will impede efficient performance.

With the board size, the wider boards show more movement than narrow ones. At Heavenly Heat, we thus recommend the ratio of thickness to widget be around 7 to 11. A board that has a width of 160mm and a thickness of 16mm will give a ratio of 10. It is, thus, a good choice.

Floor Temperature

The temperature of wood and laminate floor surfaces must never go above 27 degrees Celsius (81 degrees F). The temperature restriction is maintained using a thermostat. If you plan on using underfloor heating as the primary source of heat in a room, you should get a heat calculation done to ensure the floor heater meets the heating requirements.

Installation for Laminate Flooring

The type of underfloor heating you choose to install will depend on a number of things. For example, if you want to install an Easy Mat, the installation will include the following:

  • Type of underfloor heating
  • Underlay
  • Fitting the final floor covering

Underlay Thickness

It is of greatest importance that during the installation of underfloor heating, everything including the final floor finish and underlay be in the restrictions set in the below table. If the manufacturer insists that the laminate flooring has to be used with an underlay, the underlay should not be bigger than 6mm and should be breathable.

Limits of Heat Transfer

Proper care has to be taken to ensure the laminate flooring has an effective performance of the system. At Heavenly Heat, we do not recommend the installation of floor heaters if the limits in the below table are not met. This is because failure to meet these limits may impact the overall performance of the underfloor heating system and cause the system not to work as required.

Transfer of Heat Limits
Tog 1.5 (unless it is stated otherwise)
RSI 0.15m2 K/W (unless stated otherwise)
R-value (US) Should not exceed 1.42

What Our Clients Say

As a DIY, I really appreciated the snow melting cable from Heavenly Heat because it is so heavily jacketed I had no trouble with damage, testing the cable before and after proved that it withstood whatever it had to during installation. I love that it has a built-in return connection; meaning the cable doesn’t have to make the “run” back to the relay panel – this made the install so much easier.

Amazing product! We installed easy mat in a family room. The family room was part of an addition that was on a slab so the room was extremely cold especially in the winter. We used the mat under pad and carpet and it heats up in minutes. We are thrilled with how this product performs.

Ordered floor heating cable. Works well. A great solution for an odd shaped space and the price is great. We installed it in a bathroom floor that is above and unheated garage. Just the right solution.

It was a pleasure dealing with Heavenly Heat during home renovation project. Customer support was excellent, advising on how-to (I hired electrician at the end to install the system at the end, but still they were very helpful). Over all very positive experience.

Awesome floor heat system. I have installed Heavenly Heat as well as a couple other brands and this one for the price cannot be beat. It also comes with extras that the more expensive systems do not come with such as the alarm to let you know if you have damaged the cable during installation. The thermostat takes a bit of time to learn and is not as easy, but once you figure out how to program it, its no problem. Will definitely buy again. The floor is already nice and warm.

Good quality and much cheaper than many heating cables out there. No problem at all. I didn’t use the installation strips but bought uncoupling membrane. It makes it much easier to install since you can remove the cable and move them closer. Keep in mind you cannot cut your cable. There is some trial and error until the coverage is perfect with your cable length. Thermostat works well too and is programmable with many options.
