If I have step warmfloor under tile and I want to remove or change the tile, can this be accomplished without damaging the warmfloor product?

thanks in advance.

Yes, it can be accomplished as the electroplastic material is very, very durable.  If you have the warmfloor product underneath cement board, it should be very easy to replace the tile.  If the warmfloor is in direct contact with the tile (via thinset), then make sure you test the elements (after the tile has been broken up) before covering them up again.  It is okay to puncture the elements without depreciating their heating functionality.  Just avoid puncturing the bus braid wires.

Indoor Air Quality is directly correlated with respiratory illness.  The last thing you want your mechanical system to do is to distribute dust, mold spores, pollen, and other particulates throughout the structure. Because radiant heat does not blow allergens, it helps those with allergies and asthma find dramatic improvement to their symptoms.
