Description
Overview
STRATA_HEAT Mat holds STRATA_HEAT Spliceless Wire in a planned floor-warming layout while providing an uncoupling layer beneath tile. Its translucent structure lets installers see mortar contact below the mat, and hydration vents help the adhesive mortar cure.
Features
- Supports multiple wire-spacing layouts for different heat outputs.
- Works with the appropriate modified or unmodified mortar.
- Provides vapor management and visible chalk-line layout.
- Can avoid a separate self-leveling pour over the wire when the specified tile assembly permits it.
- Eligible assemblies are part of the LATICRETE Lifetime System Warranty, subject to its terms.

Applications
Use with compatible heating wire and thermostat over approved concrete, mortar beds, cement backer board, cement terrazzo, existing tile/stone, exterior-glue plywood, OSB, prepared resilient flooring or specified gypsum/lightweight-concrete assemblies.
Plan Your Installation
- Choose sheet or roll quantities for the floor layout, and size the wire separately for the heated footprint and spacing.
- Prepare a suitable flat substrate; the no-SLU claim is not permission to ignore floor preparation.
- Do not bridge expansion joints or structural movement cracks. Provide separate waterproofing where required.
- Use the wire manual for spacing and testing, and the selected mortar instructions for bonding and tiling.
Common Planning Questions
Does the mat generate heat by itself?
No. It supports the separately selected STRATA_HEAT wire; the wire and control provide the heating system.
