    Replacing my quickstep laminate with LVT click, I have Thermoflex 150w heating mats underneath. Will ant LVT click system cause any problems? and is there any other systems that are as good or better. Cheers

    I would image you will have problems with that. If I was you I would be contacting the manufacturer of the lvt you chose and ask them if it’s suitable.

    I wouldn't of thought LVT could be fitted successfully over heating mats, surely only over cement/screeded in heating pipe. Even then not without difficulty.

    Have installed stick down lvt plenty of times on electric ufh mats.
    The mat needs to be encapsulated in a levelling compound so there are no exposed wires and would say a minimum of 4mm on top of the wires ( normally takes 2 coats )
    Follow manufacturers recommend methods
    Wouldn’t recommend a click lvt as will expand and contract.
    A stick down lvt with ht adhesive would be better

    Last installation I did using 'warm up' ufh mats I had to fill it 10mm.
