¾ Measure tight to all edges & record all measurements. Do not make any allowances in the measurements.
¾ If the floor area has an angled side, it is a good idea to provide an “angle lock” to an opposite wall.
¾ Please include the following on your sketch with all perimeter dimensions of your room(s) :
‰ Thermostat location
‰ Voltage Available (120V or 240V) 120v is best for areas < 150 SF
‰ Vent locations identified
‰ Obstructions in the floor - including, but not limited to: toilet, bidet, plumbing, pony walls
‰ Special Instructions (i.e. heat not required areas, tight coverage requested, etc…)

Our in house design team will draw your mat with a 2”-4” offset to allow for minor adjustments.
We will send you this Production Drawing which shows your mat in the room for your approval.
You approve (or make corrections and repeat), then Return the signed Drawing & Pay for your mat
Nuheat manufactures in 2-4 days (if you pay expedited shipping charges the mat often ships in 1 day)
You can use more than one Nuheat mat (Standard or Custom) combined to fit any room size or shape, up to the 15
amp limit of the thermostat. Each Mat lead is 10 Ft long (Can be customized up to 22 Ft) and connects directly to the
Thermostat (not to each other). 15 amps =150 SF @120v, 300 SF @ 240v. And, if your room is over 300 SF you can
simply add a relay or an additional circuit with another Thermostat.
Installing Nuheat is easy no matter which flooring you want to warm; tile, stone, marble, laminate and engineered
wood surfaces are all compatible with this revolutionary electric radiant floor heat system.
Tile, Stone, Marble, Etc: The Nuheat Mat(s) is simply adhered to the subfloor using thinset and the flooring can then
be immediately installed over top.
Laminate / Engineered wood floors Installation: The Nuheat Mat(s) is simply adhered to the subfloor using thinset
then covered with 1/4" thick layer of thinset. Then follow manufacturer's installation instructions to install the underlay
(if used) and your laminate or engineered wood floor.
Nuheat offers over 60 different standard sizes electric under floor heat mats that fit most rooms as well as our custom
mats that are "pre-built" to fit rooms with curves and angles. When full coverage cannot be achieved with Nuheat
Standard Electric Floor Warming mats (i.e. angles or curved walls), the Nuheat Radiant Floor Warming System offers
Custom Mats to provide optimal coverage, in 120 and 240 Volt solutions.
As the Nuheat Custom Mats will be manufactured for your unique application, no exchange or refund is
possible. So, Please measure carefully and double check your numbers if not certain! We are here to help with
expert advice as well.
We can even assist you while you are measuring – call us for help and a “Phone Measure” with an expert!

How to Measure your room for Nuheat Floor Warming mats
Step 1 – Drawing Preparations
‰ Sketch the shape of the room – a drawing grid follows this page.
‰ Locate toilet, Bidet, vanities, make-up knee space, vents, drains, etc. (if applicable)
‰ Please indicate the proposed thermostat location with a “ T ”
Step 2 – Field Measuring
‰ Choose a starting point, begin measuring the complete inside perimeter of the room at floor level finishing
at the starting point – include even small dimensions
‰ Measure tight to all edges & record all measurements. Do not make any allowances in the measurements
‰ For toilet rooms, letters c, d, e, f, h, i, & j are required to provide heat through door opening
‰ Letter t is required to confirm angles
‰ For vents, letters u, v & w are required (where applicable)
Step 3 – Additional Information, if Applicable
‰
Have complex angles or curves? Additional measuring instructions are available on our website

Measuring Curves and Angles for Nuheat Mat
Multiple and Compound Angles
For rooms or fixtures with multiple angles, pick a reference
point directly across (perpendicular) from an angle corner
and measure the distance between these two points (this
is an angle lock). This measurement combined with your
perimeter dimensions will allow the Design Team to calculate
the angles of your walls or fixtures.
Curves
1) Mark the three points of your curve on the floor - the start
point, center point (apex) and end point.
2) Measure the distance from the start point and end point to
the wall or cabinet (toe kick).
3) Determine your reference points based on the
curve types:
A) Curve Type #1 - Curve on a straight plane
Pick a point directly across (perpendicular) from the center
point or apex of the curve and measure the distance between
the two points (this is a curve lock).
B) Curve Type #2 - Curve on a corner
Measure from the center point or apex to two reference
points (corners) in the room and record these measurements
on your drawing.
C) Curve type #3 - Irregular Curves
1) Draw a 90 degree reference line from the top to the
bottom of the curve - show the reference line on both the
floor and your drawing.
2) Measure and mark 12” increments along your reference
line. Measure and record the distance from the reference
line to the curve at each 12” increment.

Mark Thermostat with a “ T “ if you know where it will be installed
Measuring guidelines for floor warming: Sketch your entire room(s) and place fixtures and cabinets within the room.
**Important ** Please include actual measurements – do not deduct any space – we will make adjustments to keep your
mat 2-6” from walls and obstructions as needed! Leave it to our Design Experts!
Provide us the actual measurements and locations of cabinets, shower, tub, etc.
