Adloheat - Electric Foil Propagation Heat Mat - Professional Australian-Made Bench Heating System
The Adloheat Electric Foil Propagation Heat Mat is a premium, industrial-grade thermal solution designed to provide the commercial grower or home hobbyist with precision root-zone temperature control. Proudly manufactured in Pakenham, Victoria, for over 22 years, these mats feature a high-efficiency electric heating element laminated between heavy-duty aluminium foil and a durable poly backing. This specialized construction ensures exceptionally even heat distribution across the entire surface, eliminating cold spots and stimulating rapid, high-quality plant growth. Operating at approximately 150-160 watts per square metre, the system is engineered to maintain a stable microclimate up to 450mm above the bench, even during extreme overnight temperature drops. Supplied as a "plug-and-play" unit with a factory-fitted water-resistant thermostat, this lightweight and energy-efficient system is the professional standard for achieving superior germination rates and vigorous root development in cuttings and seedlings.
Best For: High-speed seed germination, professional-grade cutting propagation, maintaining consistent bench heat in greenhouses, and maximizing yield and quality for sensitive young plants.
Key Features
- Advanced Foil-Laminate Technology: Utilizes heavy aluminium foil to spread heat rapidly and evenly, providing a consistent thermal footprint that standard rubber mats cannot match.
- Professional Climate Management: Specifically designed to regulate root temperatures while supporting a warm microclimate nearly half a metre above the propagation bed.
- Factory-Fitted Control Options: Comes standard with a 0-50°C Dial Thermostat or an optional Digital Upgrade (pre-set to 23°C) for high-precision electronic monitoring.
- Safe & Simple Installation: A fully integrated system that requires no specialist electrical knowledge—simply roll out on an insulated surface, plug into a 240V outlet, and begin propagating.
- Industrial Durability: Built to Australian Safety Standards using all-Australian materials, designed for long-term use in the high-humidity environments of professional nurseries.

Ideal For (Uses)
- Commercial Seed Raising: Providing the uniform bottom heat required for large-scale, high-density seedling production.
- Specialty Cutting Strikes: Creating the ideal thermal conditions for callus formation and rapid root initiation in difficult-to-propagate species.
- Greenhouse Bench Warming: Converting standard flat benches into high-performance growing zones for out-of-season vegetables and flowers.
- Hydroponic Pre-Staging: Ensuring young plants reach optimal root maturity before being moved into larger hydroponic systems.
Installation & Care Highlights
- Setup: Best used on a flat bench with 15mm insulation foam underneath and a waterproof protective film draped over the top to prevent water ingress.
- Probe Placement: For accurate regulation, the thermostat probe must be taped directly to the foil surface under the protective plastic film.
- Safety: Always ensure an RCD (safety switch) is fitted to the circuit. Do not fold, submerge, or place polystyrene boxes directly on the mat.

Oversized Item Delivery Options
Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.
Available options include:
✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)
Important Notes:
- Shipping costs vary by location and method
- Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.
Business Delivery:
- Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
- If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
- If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
- Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
- Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!
Important Note on Availability & Shipping
Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.
Lead Times:
- In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
- Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.
While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions
Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:
- Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
- Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).
Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
