On my first heated floor I used heating coil mats, which work well, but are a pain installing. You have to first lay out a plan, then cut the mats and continually flip over to change direction of the heating pattern. I used the Dirta Heat cable with my second install, and with this, you just pop it into the underlayment membrane. You can easily change your layout if you need to, and you can alternate spacing if you end up with too much cable. My only concern with this system is the thermostat. It seems to be greatly affected by the ambient wall temperature, rather then just the room temperature. I used this product on a room that was added on to the original house. So while the thermostat is installed on an interior wall, since that wall was originally an exterior wall, it gets some cold intrusion. So during a recent cold and windy night while the room temp was actually 68, but the thermostat was reading 58, so the floor was continually on. Once the wind died down, it when back to normal. I was able to confirm this problem with an infrared thermometer. I'm going to try spraying in some insulation foam above to thermostat to see if that helps.
