What is the CALORIQUE Electric Heating Mat?

The CALORIQUE electric heating mat is a sustainable solution designed to provide eco-friendly thermal comfort in both residential and commercial spaces. This underfloor heating system uses a low-energy electric network with a power of 150 W/m², ensuring efficient and uniform heating.

Thanks to its TWIN technology, the CALORIQUE mat distributes heat evenly across the entire floor surface, avoiding energy waste and maintaining a consistent temperature. Its compatibility with renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, makes it an ideal choice for those seeking an environmentally responsible option.

The A+++ energy rating confirms its efficiency, translating into significant energy savings and reduced environmental impact.

The CALORIQUE mat not only contributes to internal comfort but also meets the sustainability standards required by modern eco-friendly homes, representing a key element for zero-impact living.

What is the CALORIQUE Electric Heating Mat Used For?

The CALORIQUE electric heating mat is designed to efficiently and sustainably heat any residential or commercial environment, eliminating the need for bulky, visible radiators or other heating systems.

It is installed under the flooring and provides even warmth, helping to reduce cold feet and improving overall room comfort.

Ideal applications include:

Bathrooms: Where underfloor heating is especially appreciated for avoiding cold tiles and other hard surfaces.

Living rooms and bedrooms: For everyday comfort without the clutter of radiators or other appliances.

Kitchens: To maintain a constant and pleasant temperature while carrying out daily activities.

Beyond comfort, using the CALORIQUE mat offers significant sustainability benefits:

Energy savings: The system’s efficiency helps reduce consumption and CO₂ emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change.

Reduced environmental impact: The system can be powered by renewable energy, decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.

Zero direct emissions: As the system does not rely on gas or fuel combustion, it does not produce harmful emissions either indoors or outdoors.

In summary, the CALORIQUE mat offers a sustainable solution for those who wish to combine home comfort with energy efficiency while also reducing the environmental impact of their heating system.

How to Install the CALORIQUE Electric Heating Mat

The installation of the CALORIQUE mat is designed to be simple and flexible, making it an ideal solution for both renovation projects and new constructions.

One of the main advantages is the ability to install it without invasive work, minimizing the use of additional materials and reducing installation time and costs.

The main steps for installation are:

Floor preparation: The existing surface must be clean, dry, and level to ensure proper installation. This step reduces the need for additional materials and minimizes waste.

Mat placement: The mat is rolled out over the surface to be heated, easily adapting to various configurations. It is compatible with a wide range of flooring types, including tile, laminate, wood, and carpet, making the installation flexible and non-invasive.

Electrical connection: The mat is connected to the building's electrical system. It is important to have this step carried out by a qualified technician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Using renewable energy can maximize system efficiency and further reduce consumption.

Floor installation: Once the mat is in place, the flooring can be installed without significantly altering the overall height, an advantage for those looking to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the space without compromising functionality.

Testing and adjustment: After installation, the mat is tested to ensure proper operation. Thanks to the thermostat, the temperature can be adjusted precisely, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable and sustainable environment.
