Hello, Nikolai. If during the installation of the electric heated floor everything was done according to the rules, then it can be covered with thin, durable materials with reduced thermal insulation. An excellent coating for film and cable floors is tufted carpet - in terms of thermal insulation, it stands next to a laminate on a polyethylene basis.

Please note that in this case, the heat transfer from the floor heating will drop, and much more heat will go into the ceiling than before. The best underfloor heating system in this situation can be considered a film underfloor heating - infrared heating has a very soft effect, which will not lead to overheating of the upper carpet and its structure (color).

Experts recommend not laying the thermostat settings after laying the carpet. Thus, you will protect the heaters from the danger of overheating and ensure the system is operating normally.
