LARGE ROLL - 161 SQ. FT., PRODESO® HEATING CABLE MEMBRANE

Prodeso® Electric Floor Heating Membrane

The Prodeso® Electric Floor Heating Membrane is a low-profile uncoupling membrane designed for electric radiant floor heating installations under tile, stone, and other finished flooring surfaces. This heated floor membrane combines cable management, waterproofing, vapor management, crack isolation, and load distribution into one easy-to-install system.

Warming Systems floor heating cable can be installed exactly where heat is desired by wrapping the cable around the membrane pegs. For proper spacing, we recommend alternating the cable between 3 pegs and 2 pegs to create an average spacing of approximately 3 inches.

Benefits of the Prodeso® Heating Membrane

• Eliminates the need for backer board: The membrane can be installed directly over plywood, OSB, concrete, and other approved substrates, reducing the need for cement board, Durock, or Wonderboard.
• Lower floor height: At only 5.5mm thick, less than 1/4 inch, Prodeso® helps reduce overall floor height buildup in remodeling projects.
• Faster installation: Once the heating cable is installed in the membrane, tile can be installed immediately. There is no need to wait for a first layer of mortar to dry.
• Flexible heating zones: Install the membrane over the full subfloor and place heating cable only in the areas where radiant floor heat is desired.
• Protects heating cable: The membrane helps hold the cable securely in place and protects it during tile installation.
• Uncoupling and crack isolation: Helps support tile installations over wood subfloors, concrete slabs, and cracked substrates.
• Waterproof membrane: The polypropylene membrane is naturally waterproof, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other tile areas.
• Vapor management: Designed for use over wood, concrete, and gypsum-based substrates when installed according to instructions.
• Load distribution: Helps evenly distribute loads from the tile covering to the subfloor.

Ideal for Remodels and Low-Profile Heated Floors

The Prodeso® Heating Membrane is a smart choice for bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, basement flooring projects, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways. Because the membrane is only 5.5mm thick, it is especially useful when the new heated tile floor needs to meet an existing floor height.

This electric floor heating membrane is also a strong option when installing floor heat over difficult substrates such as plywood, OSB, cement slabs, or existing approved surfaces. The low overall weight of the system makes it useful for projects where subfloor load limits may be a concern.

Install Tile Faster With Electric Radiant Floor Heating

With traditional floor heating cable installations, an installer may need to embed the cable in mortar and wait before installing tile. With the Prodeso® Heating Membrane, the membrane, heating cable, and tile can be installed in the same day, helping save time on the job.

Prodeso® vs. Ditra-Heat

The Prodeso® Heating Membrane achieved the highest rating of “Extra Heavy” according to ASTM C627 testing when installed with 12" x 12" porcelain tile over concrete, plywood, or OSB substrates. ASTM C627 is a standardized test procedure used to evaluate ceramic tile floor installation performance under conditions similar to real-world use.
