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.

Did You Know?

STEP Warmfloor™ is the most energy efficient heating available because the material itself is self-regulating and only draws the energy it needs to maintain an even temperature on the whole surface.  The heating elements cannot overheat.
