Just make sure that the total load does not exceed the wattage that the thermostat can take.
I think its 100w for matstats... so you should be fine with a few.

Cheers for that info. Should be able to run 3 off one stat quite safely then.

having more than one mat is fine, just be carefull with the temps in the other vivs as dont forget you only have one sensor

I am currently running 12 mats on 1 stat. Sounds a lot but the stat will take a MAX load of 1000watts, and each mat is 12 watts

Only slight drawback is that it does seem to take longer to reach the desired temp......which is to be expected with the amount of mats I guess

To be honest youre pushing your luck there Labmad

12 mats!!...crikey

But if the stat can handle it, i guess temps are the only worry
