   Hi Chad:

   I have no experience with these, but a local plumbing supply house can order them. They can also order a heating wire that you install in the thinset like radiant plumbing and hook to a thermostat for control.
   For what it's worth, the supply house is Lewis Supply in Richmond, VA 804-232-7801.

   *I recently installed the electric radiant mat you're looking for in our bathroom remodel to supplement forced air heat. I got it from Heatway in Springfield, MO, 800 255-1996, http://www.heatway.com. The only installation problem was that it will raise the tile over it about 1/8", so the thinset under the tile that doesn't fall on the mat has to be a little thicker. I installed it on a slab and had to chip a couple channels to accommodate the connector and thermocouple. Overall, installation was relatively easy, and the performance is very good. I leave the thermostat set at around 80 degrees, and it keeps the bathroom floor very comfortable. It runs at 300 watts.

   Is the cost of operating an Electric Radiant Heat Mat much of a consideration?

   I am looking for information & sources of electric radiant heat mats that can be applied under tile, floating floor systems, etc. Does anyone have experience with the product? Does anyone know where to get it or information about it? Please share your wisdom.
