Revolutionary In-floor
heating for Laminate and
Luxury Vinyl Flooring

The HexHeat Plug & Play's far infrared heating film technology is unique to classic heating cables or heating mats, as set up and installation times is greatly diminished as it does not require many additional steps and materials to install. The intuitive plug & play system is designed specifically as a ready made assembly out of the box to be installed seamlessly for use under floors that were previously unattainable with other systems. HexHeat Plug and Play provides many advantages as it provides uniform heat through out the entire space and is 60% more efficient than traditional cable systems. HexHeat Plug & Play can be installed in basements on concrete sub-floors or any other level of the house on plywood sub-floors.

Areas to utilize the most efficient full room heating system

One of the best cases for using HexHeat Plug & Play is to replace inefficient baseboard heaters.

Baseboard heaters are usually installed on the exterior walls under a window, which is typically the coldest area of the room, and the thermostat is located on an interior wall across the room. This creates varied temperatures across the room as it relies on heating the air and not efficient as the heater is constantly cycling on and off.
The far infrared carrier waves heat the room uniformly and provides the sensation of the warm sun on your body. Once it reaches the optimum temperature, it uses very little energy to maintain this uniform heat throughout the area.

Install in 3 basic steps

HexHeat Plug & Play, is the only patented far infrared in-floor Heat Film . As a result of our patented connectors, HexHeat Plug & Play Heat Film has revolutionized the far infrared in-floor heat installation.

  1. Install Underlayment
    • Clean and prep floor
    • Layout and secure underlayment
  2. Install Heating Film
    • Roll out and cut to length each roll of heat film
    • Connect the films together
    • Install UL Certified In-Floor Radiant Thermostat
    • Perform OHM test to ensure product was not damaged during install
  3. Install Finished Floor
    • Test the floor heat and enjoy
Make sure to cut out and sink the connector into the underlayment so the flooring can be laid flush on top.

Let's expand on the installation procedure a little further

HexHeat Plug and Play is an intuitive ready-made assembly that is simple and quick to install

A typical 10 x 15 bedroom can have laminate flooring installed in about 2 to 3 hours. The additional time to install HexHeat Plug & Play is approximately 1 hour or less.

Installation Steps

1 Clean and Prep the floor
Ensure the floor is clear of all dust and debris. Make sure it is flat and smooth.
2 Laydown underlayment
Install the underlayment to manufactures specifications. We suggest at least a 5mm to 8mm thick underpad to help with the thickness of the connector and provide insulation and cushioning for the finished flooring
3 Roll out the HexHeat Plug and Play
Roll out the HexHeat, keeping it 6" away from the walls and cut to length as needed along the allocated cut lines
4 Plug and connect the films together
Using the HexHeat patented connectors, plug each roll of film together. Cap the last roll with the included connector cap
5 Install the Cold Lead
From the first roll of film, up the wall to the thermostat junction box.
6 Test the resistance
Before installing the thermostat, test and record the resistance for the warranty
7 Sink the connectors into the underlayment
Carefully mark out the locations of the connectors and wires. Cut out the underlayment in these areas. The connectors must sit flush with the floor. If needed, you may have to grind out some subfloor for the connector to seat all the way flush.
8 Secure the heat film to the floor
Now that the connectors and wires sit flush in the floor, place tape over them to keep them securely in place. Also tape the edges and ends of the film down to the floor to ensure they stay in place during the installation of the finished floor. There must be a 1cm space between each roll of film. Do not overlap the film.
9 Connect the thermostat
Included with the thermostat, is a floor temperature sensor. This must be installed under the flooring. Install the sensor under the first row of film about a foot away from the edge directly under the carbon area of the film. Now connect the thermostat to manufactures specifications
10 Test the HexHeat Film
Now that the thermostat is connected, and installed, turn on the system and test for functionality. Confirm there are no errors reading on the thermostat, and that the heat film is functioning properly.
11 Install your finished Floor
Turn off the power to the thermostat and heating system. You can now proceed to install your Laminate, LVT or SPC flooring directly on top of the heating film.
12 Finish
Install your baseboards, being careful to not nail where the wires lead from the floor to the thermostat. Turn on your system and you can enjoy the warmth of a finished floor right away. The heat film is designed to come up to temperature slowly, so give it some time, but soon you will have a cozy space.
