What floor coverings can Tuff Cable be used under?

Tuff Cable is compatible with almost all floor coverings where a heatsink material is present in the floor assembly — including hardwood, carpet, tile, laminate, engineered wood, linoleum, and vinyl. The heatsink is typically concrete, a mortar bed, or a self-leveling compound into which the Tuff Cable is embedded before the floor covering is installed. Unlike ZMesh, Tuff Cable requires this heatsink layer — it cannot be installed directly under flooring without an embed.
