The Nuheat 120V Electric Floor Heating Mat (F2118) provides comfortable, consistent radiant heat across 42 sq. ft. of floor space, making it an ideal choice for warming smaller areas such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other indoor spaces. Its pre-built design has the heating wire precisely embedded at the factory, eliminating the need to measure and configure wire spacing during installation. At just 1/8" thick, the low-profile mat installs beneath the finished floor without adding significant height to the floor assembly, while the 84" x 72" size provides targeted coverage where it's needed most.
Key Features
Pre-Built Heating Mat
The heating wire is factory-embedded in a consistent pattern, providing even heat distribution without requiring installers to measure or configure wire spacing on site.
Ultra-Thin 1/8" Profile
The low-profile mat minimizes floor height buildup, helping simplify transitions between heated and unheated areas while maintaining a comfortable radiant heating system beneath the finished floor.
Consistent Radiant Heat
The Nuheat Standard Mat delivers 12 watts per square foot for reliable, evenly distributed warmth throughout the heated area. At 42 sq. ft., the F2118 draws 504 watts (4.2 amps) at 120V.
Easy Installation
The pre-built mat is designed to be adhered directly to the prepared subfloor with thinset, eliminating the on-site manipulation required with loose heating cable systems.

Nuheat Electric Floor Heating Mat FAQ
How do I choose the right Nuheat mat size?
Choose a mat based on the actual area you want to heat rather than the total room size. Permanent fixtures and areas that don't require floor heating should be excluded when determining the coverage needed. Nuheat offers more than 60 standard mat sizes, making it possible to combine mats when necessary to cover a larger or irregularly shaped area.
Can Nuheat Standard Mats be cut to fit the room?
No. Nuheat Standard Mats should not be cut, altered, folded, overlapped, or otherwise modified. The mat should be selected and positioned to fit the intended heated area. If the room has an unusual shape that a standard mat can't accommodate, Nuheat offers custom mats manufactured to the dimensions of the space.
What flooring can be installed over a Nuheat Standard Mat?
Nuheat Standard Mats are designed for embedded indoor floor heating applications and are commonly installed beneath tile and stone flooring. The mat is installed over the prepared subfloor with thinset before the finished flooring is installed according to the flooring manufacturer's requirements.
Does a Nuheat Standard Mat need a thermostat?
Yes. The mat is designed to be controlled by a compatible floor heating thermostat, which regulates the system and uses a floor sensor to monitor temperature. Nuheat recommends testing the mat before, during, and after installation, and electrical connections should be completed by a certified electrician.
Does a Nuheat mat need a dedicated circuit or GFCI protection?
Yes. The F2118 mat must be wired to its own dedicated circuit with GFCI protection. Nuheat thermostats have a GFCI built in, so a standard breaker is typically all that's needed at the panel, just have a certified electrician confirm the setup for your specific installation.
