The risk
Due to the cyclical bending movement of the wooden floor, while the vehicle is moving or stationary, the floor heating mat between the PVC covering and the wood sandwich can break at the butt joints. The result is uncontrolled contact resistance during heating, which may lead in extreme cases to the PVC covering catching fire.
