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.

Studies from the "Sick Building Syndrome" show a direct relation between indoor climate and symptoms such as fatigue and headaches.  Research shows that thermic indoor climate is also related to productivity.  The level of comfort with radiant heat at lower temperatures increases productivity by 20-30%.
