Thicker floors require more energy to heat them so larger cables up to 7mm are used.
Instead of blowing hot air through a vent or pumping hot water to a baseboard radiator along the wall radiant heat warms up the entire floor.

Wunda group if the pipes are housed in the concrete floor slab sometimes the case for new homes this is could be 150mm thick and give a reaction time of over four hours.
An alternative breathable option is limecrete.
The underfloor heating mats on mesh are very easy to use but limited in their ability to heat floors when the covering such as concrete or deep slabs is thick.
