What is LAMINOTHERM?

Wooden and laminate floors can transform a home, but they don’t retain heat naturally. The ETHERMA LAMINOTHERM floating electric underfloor heating system provides smooth, even warmth across the entire floor area, using an ultra-thin design that sits directly beneath the floor finish.

Paired with the LAMINOFIL insulation layer, LAMINOTHERM creates a highly efficient, comfortable heating surface with no adhesives, no screed and no mess - perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and home offices.

ARC Thermal provides tailored, expert specification to ensure correct wattage, correct build-up and perfect system performance.

The System: LAMINOTHERM Floating Underfloor Heating

LAMINOTHERM is a dry installation heating mat designed specifically for floating floors. This system offers one of the most consistent heating profiles available for wood flooring.

Floating Installation

no adhesives or fillers required

Extremely even heat spread

thanks to special mat construction

Outputs: 80–140 W/m²

(matched to wood flooring tolerance)

Ultra-low build-up height

PFAS-free conductor

Installed directly beneath the final flooring layer

Optimised for modern, energy-efficient living spaces

Compatible with ARC smart controls

Why The Heat Is More Even

Unlike thin-bed tile systems that rely on adhesive layers, LAMINOTHERM sits directly beneath the floating floor.

The entire floor becomes a single, even heating surface - perfect for larger spaces like bedrooms and living rooms.

No adhesives

No Thermal Blocking

No Hotspots

No Cold Patches

Wider Surface Heat Transfer

WHICH POWER OUTPUT DO YOU NEED? (W/m²)

Wood floors have temperature limits - so choosing the correct wattage is essential.

Room Type / Use Output (W/m²) Reason
Bedrooms, warm floor 80–100 W/m² Gentle comfort
Living rooms, hallways 100–120 W/m² Balanced, consistent warmth
Colder rooms or rooms with heat loss 130–140 W/m² Fast heat-up + stable temperatures
ARC will advise the correct wattage based on: Floor manufacturer’s guidelines + Room insulation+ Subfloor type + Desired comfort level

LAMINOFIL INSULATION LAYER - CRITICAL FOR PERFORMANCE

LAMINOFIL sits beneath LAMINOTHERM and provides:

Faster warm-up times

Reduced heat loss to the subfloor

Enhanced evenness of heat

Improved energy efficiency

Acts as a cushioning layer, a moisture barrier and an acoustic improvement layer

WHY ELECTRIC UFH OUTPERFORMS WET SYSTEMS UNDER WOOD FLOORS

Wet systems often cause problems beneath wooden floors due to:

Slow response time

Heat from wet UFH must travel through screed - wood floors rarely appreciate long-term, sustained high heat.

Height build-up

Wet systems require pipes, insulation and screed - often incompatible with retrofits.

Risk of overheating

Electric UFH allows precise temperature limits for wood.

Moisture-related risk

Leaks in wet systems can cause severe damage to wooden floors.

Electric UFH solves all of this

Fast, controlled heat with precise temperature limits

No risk of leaks

No screed required

Ideal for renovations and floating floors

Smart zoning for living spaces

Not when installed correctly. ARC specifies wattage and controls to protect surface temperature limits.

Yes - it improves efficiency, comfort and protects the subfloor.

Often yes - depending on heat loss. We can calculate this for you.

Extremely low - typically just the LAMINOFIL layer + LAMINOTHERM mat.

Yes. LAMINOTHERM is designed specifically for floating floors.

Usually 80–140 W/m², depending on insulation and room type.
