Abstract
The roll-up floor heating comprises an insulating layer, a heating element and a cladding. The insulating layer is intended for laying on a floor and the heating element extends between the cladding and the insulating layer. The cladding is intended to support a floor covering and comprises a force distribution layer for transmitting a force which is exerted on the cladding in a distributed manner to the insulating layer. In as far as (a part of) the heating element is at the location or in the vicinity of the exerted force, the load which will be exerted on it will be lower than the original load, due to the force being transmitted in a distributed manner. This lowers the risk of the heating element being damaged.

Roll-up heating for a floor, or wall, comprising
- an insulating layer, a heating element and a cladding, in which the insulating layer is adapted for laying on a floor and the heating element extends between the cladding and the insulating layer,
- wherein the cladding is adapted to support a floor covering and comprises a force distribution layer for transmitting a force which is exerted on the cladding in a distributed manner to the insulating layer,
- and wherein the force distribution layer comprises a first and a second sub-layer, in which the first sub-layer has a higher modulus of elasticity than the second sub-layer and the second sub-layer faces the insulating layer.
