Benefits
Economically warms the entire surface of the tiled floor
Easy and quick installation
Primary or comfort heating
Please Note
The heating cable cannot be cut, however the mesh it is mounted on may be cut and shaped to suit;
For the best results we always recommend installing the mat on an insulated sub floor or thermal board;
A Heat Loss calculation is always recommended to determine whether the system can be used as a primary heat source;
We recommend that you check with your floor covering supplier for compatibility.
Our largest size mat is 10sqm, for sizes above this we will use multiple mats e.g 20sqm mat set = 2 x 10sqm mats
Installation
Always ensure the subfloor is insulated. The mat can be installed directly onto a concrete floor or if installing on a wooden subfloor it must be flat and stable and the mat covered with a self levelling compound.
Measure the area you require first and allow a 50mm gap from the edge of the room and any furniture. DO NOT INSTALL UNDER FIXED FURNITURE.
Lay the first run of matting. At the end of the run cut the fibreglass mat leaving the heating cable, turn the mat 90º or 180º, depending on requirements, and continue laying.
Once completed the entire floor, you can cover the mat with a self leveller and leave to dry before tiling. The matting should not be turned on for minimum 14 days after installation

Answer:-
Yes as long as you are self-levelling over the mat, or using a concrete backed insulation board below, then there is no issues. Tiles can be fitted directly on top.
