The unTouch heating mat was one of the easiest installations of my 10 year home renovation saga. the adaptability of the mat to install in almost any location, along with easy to following instructions for testing the mat with easy to use tools was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth the time and money.

so far so good
Review by
It was installed no problems. I choose the sun touch over the nuheat because of the ability to cut the matt backing and rotate it. it added some additional height to the floor and made the tile install a two step process but so far it is working. I haven't started it up full time yet but i have test run it. looking forward to warm bathroom floors
