How Environ™ Mats Install
Environ mats use a straightforward dry-lay method—no wet materials, no curing time, no mess. Here's what the installation process looks like:
Prep the Subfloor
Ensure the subfloor is clean, flat, and dry. No special primers or bonding agents needed.
Roll Out the Mat
Unroll the Environ mat across the floor area. Cut the mesh (never the cable) to navigate around obstacles.
Connect to Thermostat
Run the cold lead to your thermostat location. Connect to your nSpire or nJoy thermostat per wiring instructions.
Install Flooring
Lay your floating floor directly over the mat. No waiting for anything to cure—install and enjoy same day.
How Much Does It Cost to Run an Environ™ Mat?
Environ mats are highly efficient and typically cost just pennies per hour to operate. Their lower 12W/sq ft output makes them among the most economical floor heating options available. Use the calculator below to estimate costs for your room size and local electricity rates.

*1 Slab Heat systems are embedded in the concrete slab; any finished flooring can be installed over the cured slab.
*2 Consult your flooring manufacturer to ensure the flooring can be installed directly over a heating system. If embedding is required, you must use a TempZone or Slab Heat system.
*3 Floating floor can be installed over an embedded TempZone system in 3/8–½" self-leveling cement (SLC), fully cured.
*4 Nailed floors: Install wood sleepers across subfloor, lay mat between sleepers, cover with self-leveling cement, then nail flooring into sleepers only.
*5 Glued floors: Embed mat in 3/8–½" self-leveling cement, allow to cure, then install flooring with adhesive.

We've Got Your Back: A Backup Floor Sensor
Every complete WarmlyYours floor heating system—TempZone™, Environ™, or Slab Heat—ships with two floor sensors: one with the heating mat or cable and one with the thermostat. Install the backup right beside the primary sensor and run both leads to the thermostat box, but connect only the primary; the backup stays disconnected until it is needed.
The floor sensor lives under your tile, wood, carpet, or concrete, where it tells the thermostat how warm the floor really is. If that sensor is ever nicked during installation or fails years down the road, replacing it would normally mean tearing up the finished floor.
With the backup already embedded in the floor, the fix takes minutes: turn off power at the breaker, disconnect the original sensor at the thermostat, connect the backup, and your heat is back on. No torn-up floor, no new flooring, no second installation. Follow your thermostat's instructions, or have a qualified electrician make the swap.
Installer tip: Install both sensors side by side, centered between the heating wires, and test each one for 8–15 kΩ before covering the floor. For Slab Heat, place the sensors in capped 3/4″ rigid metal conduit between cable runs, clear of the heating cable, as the Slab Heat installation manual describes.

Environ™ Mat FAQs
Showing all 9 questions
No. Never cut the heating cable. The floor heating cable is designed with a very specific resistance in order to consistently maintain heating at a specific wattage per square foot. Trimming the heating cable lowers the resistance of the cable causing the system to overheat. WarmlyYours recommends obtaining a complimentary SmartPlan™ Floor Heating Installation Plan to assure a good installation.
For carpet applications, we require a minimum of 12" around the room's perimeter so that a carpet stretcher can be used without damaging the Environ roll or mat. With laminate floors, you can install it wall to wall. We do not recommend heating under heavy pieces of furniture (100lb/ft2) or box-bottom furniture. We recommend 2 inches of clearance underneath furniture placed over electric floor heating. Floor heating cannot be installed underneath permanent fixtures like cabinets, built-ins, etc.
Environ™ Floor Heating Systems are backed by WarmlyYours 5 and 10 year “No Nonsense™ Warranty* and WarmlyYours highly recognized lifetime 24/7 technical support. Due to the fact that we will also cover not only the cost of labor, but also the cost of the floor itself, our warranty is renowned for being an industry best. Our “No Nonsense™ Warranty” for Environ covers 5 years for under carpet applications and 10 years for under laminate or floating wood floors.
Multiple Environ™ products may be connected in parallel directly to a thermostat or through the junction box. Please ensure the total amperage of all connected mats doesn’t exceed the thermostat’s maximum load.
Installing Environ™ under wood laminate flooring requires a suitable underlayment beneath the heating elements. Never install Environ™ between two hard surfaces. Underlayments that are less than 2mm in thickness and that are not Robinson-rated are not acceptable. Underlayment is necessary to prevent Environ™ Flex Rolls from damage due to the weight of the floor, furniture, and people. Unavoidable wooden floor movements will not harm Environ™.
Installing Environ™ under carpeting(USA only) requires a suitable cushion/pad beneath the heating elements. Never install Environ™ between two hard surfaces. Carpet padding must have a density of at least 6 pounds per cubic foot, the higher the R-Value the better. 1/2“ Prime Urethane (R-2.15) and 1/2“ Bonded Urethane(R-2.1) are good choices. Adhere to Restrictions on Furniture Placement outlined on page 12 of Environ Install manual when installing under carpeting.
Environ™ must not be installed in direct contact with concrete, it is mandatory when installing over concrete to use a 1/4“ (6mm) Robinson-rated underlayment.
Certain underlayments, such as 1/4” (6mm) thick cork, or 6mm ThermalSheet are recommended for Environ™. It is also acceptable to place a vapor barrier, such as a plastic sheet, beneath the underlayment. Underlayment paper is not an acceptable underlayment choice.
Always check with the manufacturer of the flooring, carpeting, and underlayment for limitations and compatibility with electric radiant heating. Adhere to national and local code regarding electric radiant heating systems.
The roll and mat is 1/16" thick, and the cord is 1/4" in diameter.
The Environ™ Flex Rolls and Easy Mats are designed to deliver 12 watts per square foot.
Environ Flex Rolls can be cut (the body of the roll can be cut but never cut the heating wire) and turned at 90° or 180° to cover the total area intended to be heated. Make sure that Environ Flex Rolls are installed with the correct orientation (wire side down) and ensure that the side marked “THIS SIDE UP” is facing upwards.
The amount of amperage draw depends upon how large the area is that you are heating. For coverage of areas less than 30 square feet, a 120V Environ system will draw less than 3 amps. If you have a larger area over 300 square feet of heated space, then you will need a larger breaker plus additional controls. No matter what the size of the area you choose to heat, we recommend a dedicated circuit for your electric radiant floor heating system.
