Can I install this on a wood subfloor? Do I need to put a layer of mortar on the floor

You need something around the wire. A quarter inch deep rectangular space surrounded by subfloor and filled with thinset would be ok

Yes. You can install on wood subfloor. I suggest laying mat on floor first. Then putting mortar on top. You may have to chisel some of the floor out so the larger power wire does not cause tile to set uneven.

It requires a mortar base which must be cured before you adhere the mat in mortar itself. We did this over our plywood subfloor;very easy.

Are you installing tiles if so I recommend using a Brady board or wonder board on top with thinset to set the tiles. If you set in the basement usually that is concrete you will be fine to install wood floors on top of the heating pad.

Yes under wood, yes on top of subfloor. Don't know about the warm effort, want to rephrase that question?

I haven't gone up a wall but put it under my floor. Laid it down and it takes a pretty thick coat of leveling compound. I imagine that if you lay it under mortar it should do well.

The floor needs to be flat...find your self two small pieces of wood the same thickness as the small trim pieces height..use these as spacers under the mounting points for the unit...just make sure the top of the unit has ample clearance to open thru the cabinet opening, after the pieces are in place., Drill clearance holes thru the small pieces for the mounting screws, to ensure you dont split the wood when the screws pass thru.

I don't believe so....the only comment I would make is about WHERE you use it, not WHO...can't do too much on a wood floor - it can slide.

i suppose if you are careful.....am assuming you are talking about an under layment wood surface, not any flooring, e.g. pine, oak, etc. I would use a sander instead.

Only have wood flooring use the special hard wood tool. Works. Believe on carpet should work as well

You could but the floor should be buffed or something so that it was not slippery. It would improve the look of the wood, absolutelybut I think there are better products for the floor.

I installed mine on carpet without adhesive. Don't know about wood flooring.

No....you have to drill a hole then use concrete screws. The screws that come with it are f ok r wood flooring.

It could be used under a "Floating" wood floor system but it would need to be Pro installing it. It would not be all that efficient either, but it would make the floor warm and comfortable.

Yes you can use it on a wood floor. The suction cups might not work, but it comes with plastic covers for the suction cups.

After reading the other answers, I would agree. This would get the tile off, but it is heavy and if you are not careful, damage will be done to the concrete subfloor. I did try this when removing the tile that was in our foyer, which was laid in a mortar bed around 1974. It went right through the tile, through the mortar bed and actually poked a little hole in the wood subfloor. After that, I went back to a hammer and chisel to remove the tiles, and mortar bed. Lot of work, but I didn't risk poking more holes in the wood subfloor.

I don't know. We only have wooden flooring. Sorry that I cannot be of any help to you.

It depends on the wood underneath the carpet. If its smooth and flat, then you should be fine. I would pull the staples and nails instead of hammering them, and I highly suggest you use a adhesive flooring primer. If the wood isn't smooth and flat, sand it down and definitely use the primer.*note* for lining it up, there are arrows on the backing paper that you use to line it up. We went every other one up then right and loved the design.

I am not 100% but I would have to say no.I would follow the advice from the can as to what they suggest.Or ask a wood floor refinisher.

We have ours set up on the rubber alphabet mat on our wood floors but it comes with rubber stickers for the bottom to make it slide proof!
