Laminate Floor Heating Customer Reviews

We take pride in providing both exceptional service and great products. But don't just take our word for it, check out what some of our customers have had to say.

I installed two 25' rolls to meet the room requirements as mapped by W.Y.'s.

I did have a problem finding a laminate floor to install over the electric heat mat as there are not many manufacturers that authorize the install. W.Y.'s helped me find a brand. Basement floor warm now, ready for winter.

We needed a solution to create a warm space in a basement office that didn't require heating the whole house and cookout the chill of the concrete under the laminate flooring.

The application of a 1/4 inch cork layer with the Environ Flex Roll heating system and the easy to program nSpire Thermostat has been a perfect solution. It was easy to install, we were able to take apart the old floor, install the cork underlayment and roll out the heating mat, reinstall the laminate and wire everything with about a day and half of effort. The results have exceeded our expectations. So far the heating costs appear to be minimal on our overall electric bill.

Works great with a third party thermostat.

I put these mats under bamboo hardwood flooring from *ome depo* in my 32' motorhome. Keeps it warm. After 9 months the GFCI I had it hooked up to (outlet) started tripping. After diagnosis ruled out under floor problems and I had already swapped out the GFCI outlet, I called for help. Troubleshooting help from OEM recommended a dedicated breaker with GFCI. Luckily it was a short run. Problem solved for under $100. Thanks.

I installed these Flex Rolls over a cork base and under bamboo floors.

They are wonderful! The ability to cut/turn the roll (without cutting the heating element/wire) made the install very easy and provided a great deal of flexibility. Ultimately, I was able to cover about 90% of the area of the master bedroom - the master bath had already been done... and this will make the whole winter wake up thing VERY nice. Ordering was easy - WarmlyYours was very helpful in providing product info, assisting with a suggested layout - and shipping was very fast. My only regret is that I didn't do this years ago.

How Much Does Laminate Floor Heating Cost?

Environ Floor Heating Mats for laminate typically cost between $10–$13 per square foot. For a 200 square foot living room with about 150 heated square feet, expect to spend between $1,500 and $1,950 on heating materials. Add a programmable thermostat ($100–$250) and you have a complete system.

Operating costs are remarkably low. One customer reported heating a basement office 12 hours a day for an entire December in Canada for only $18 total. Most homeowners spend less than $1 per day to heat a single zone.

Because Environ Mats require no adhesives, thinset, or self-leveling cement, material costs are lower than tile or stone installations. The floating installation method also means most homeowners can handle the project themselves—saving on professional labor.

How to Install Floor Heating Under Laminate

Installing Environ Mats under laminate is one of the simplest radiant heating installations. Because laminate uses the floating (click-lock) method, you never need adhesives or self-leveling cement—just roll out the mats and lay your flooring on top.

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Clean and level the subfloor (concrete, plywood, or existing flooring).
Step 2: Roll out Environ Mats according to your SmartPlan layout.
Step 3: Secure mats with tape and connect leads to the thermostat location.
Step 4: Test the heating system with an ohmmeter (test before, during, and after).
Step 5: Install a thin, radiant-compatible underlayment (≤3mm, R-value ≤0.4).
Step 6: Install click-lock laminate flooring over the underlayment (floating method).
Step 7: Wire the thermostat, set maximum floor temperature to 80–85°F, and enjoy!

Critical Compatibility Tips

Temperature limit: Laminate must stay below 85°F to prevent warping. Environ's 12 watt output and our thermostats with floor sensors enforce this automatically.
R-value: Total flooring R-value must be ≤1.0 for efficient heat transfer. Standard laminate (R-0.4 to R-0.6) plus thin underlayment (R-0.2 to R-0.4) stays within this range.
Pre-attached underlayment: Choose laminate without pre-attached foam or cork backing, as it blocks heat transfer. Use a separate thin, radiant-compatible underlayment instead.
