Invisible Electric Underfloor Heating Film

Infrared Electric Heating Film Under Laminate and Engineered Floors

For an efficient and affordable heating option, consider installing invisible infrared electric heating film under your laminate or engineered wood floors.
Easy to install and highly effective, infrared underfloor heating is becoming a popular choice among homeowners — especially as energy costs continue to rise.

In this guide, we’ll explain the benefits, the installation process, and why infrared heating film works so well with laminate and engineered floors.

What is Infrared Electric Heating Film?

Infrared electric heating film is a modern, energy-efficient technology designed to deliver consistent and even heat.
Unlike traditional systems that heat the air, infrared heating warms objects and surfaces directly.

At the core of the system are thin, carbon-based layers that emit infrared heat when electricity flows through them.
As a result, the film is easy to install under many types of flooring, making it an excellent solution for contemporary homes.

Benefits of Electric Underfloor Heating for Laminate and Engineered Floors

1. Energy Efficiency

Infrared heating is highly energy-efficient.
While regular heating systems can lose up to 30% of their heat to the air, infrared heating transfers heat directly to objects.

Consequently, it heats faster and retains warmth longer, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.

2. Even Heat Distribution

Infrared underfloor systems ensure consistent warmth across the entire room — without cold spots.
Thanks to the even heat output, you’ll enjoy a uniformly warm and comfortable space.

3. Invisible, Space-Saving Solution

Installing underfloor heating means you can eliminate bulky radiators and heaters.
Therefore, your home maintains a clean, uncluttered appearance while staying efficiently heated.

4. Simple and Quick Installation

Infrared heating films are ultra-thin and easy to install.
In most cases, you won’t need extra screeding or major construction work.
The floor height stays virtually unchanged, making installation straightforward.

5. Eco-Friendly and Silent

Infrared heating produces fewer carbon emissions than traditional systems.
Moreover, it operates silently, with no moving parts — offering a greener and more durable heating option.

How to Install iHelios Electric Underfloor Heating Film for Laminate and Engineered Floors

One of the standout advantages of infrared heating film is the ease of installation.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting it right:

Step 1: Preparation

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before you begin.
Install a thermal insulation layer to prevent heat loss and boost system efficiency.
Typically, a thin, reflective insulation board is ideal for this purpose.

Step 2: Lay Out the Heating Film

Unroll the heating film across the prepared area.
Measure and cut it according to room dimensions, ensuring no overlaps.
Maintain a small 5 cm gap from the walls.

Step 3: Wiring and Connections

Follow the manufacturer's wiring instructions carefully.
Connect the film to a thermostat and your home's electrical system.
For safety reasons, a qualified electrician should complete all electrical connections.

Step 4: Install the Laminate or Engineered Floor

Once the heating film and wiring are securely in place, you can install your flooring directly over the film.
Always follow the floor manufacturer’s guidelines for installing over underfloor heating.

Step 5: Testing

Before installing the final floor covering, test the system.
This step ensures the heating film works properly and heats evenly across the surface.

Why Choose Electric Underfloor Heating for Laminate and Engineered Floors?

• Floor Compatibility

Infrared heating films are ideal for laminate and engineered wood floors.
They operate at lower, consistent temperatures, protecting sensitive flooring materials from thermal stress.

• Increased Comfort

Imagine walking barefoot on a warm floor during winter.
By installing underfloor heating, you enhance daily comfort and add luxury to any room.

• Improved Indoor Air Quality

Unlike forced-air systems, infrared heating doesn’t circulate dust or allergens.
Thus, it’s an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and anyone wanting a cleaner, healthier home environment.

• Cost-Effective Heating

Infrared systems are not only energy-efficient but also easy to control via thermostats and smart apps.
Consequently, you can heat rooms more precisely, reduce energy wastage, and lower your energy bills.
