Yes, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is typically installed over the embedded heating element using self-leveling cement (SLC). Many people choose to use SLC when installing tile over floor heating.
We do not suggest using thinset to encase the heating wires with LVT, as it is very difficult to get thinset completely flat.
There are heating systems designed for floating floors, such as our Environ system. However, the flooring must be rigid enough so it does not mold itself to the heating cables over time.
Check the flooring manufacturer's floor heating recommendations. In most cases, the heating system will need to be embedded beneath the flooring. Check for all "flatness" requirements for the flooring you choose. The flattest floors utilize self-leveling cement when installed correctly.
Waterproofing is recommended under and around tubs/showers. It’s also recommended wherever the tile could possibly be exposed to considerable amounts of water. Prodeso is naturally waterproof, but the corners and seams need to be treated with waterproofing tape and thin-set. (Use Pro WP Waterproofing Band 5“ - Soft polyethylene tape – to seal seams.)
