An underlayment system is provided that includes a plurality of protrusions that extend from a common base member. The protrusions and base member can include an opening therethrough that allows for subsequent layers of material, such as adhesive, to interact and bond to each other. The protrusions
An underlayment system is provided that includes a plurality of protrusions that extend from a common base member. The protrusions and base member can include an opening therethrough that allows for subsequent layers of material, such as adhesive, to interact and bond to each other. The protrusions are arranged in such a way to contain a wire, string, or heating element, within a receiving area. The arrangement of the protrusions allow for routing of the wire, string, or heating element in a variety of angles, bends, and other routing layouts.

1. An underlayment adapted to receive and secure at least one heating element of a radiant heating assembly, comprising: a base material defining an area and having a first side and a second side disposed opposite the first side;a first protrusion disposed on the first side of the base material, the first protrusion configured as a geometric shape comprising a top surface, a sloping surface, and at least two sides, wherein the sloping surface forms an obtuse angle with the top surface and slopes downwardly from the top surface to the first side of the base material, and one or more of the at least two sides includes an angular element receiving surface; anda second protrusion disposed on the first side of the base material and adjacent to the first protrusion, the second protrusion configured as a geometric shape having at least two sides, wherein one or more of the at least two sides includes an element receiving surfacewherein the element receiving surface of the second protrusion is offset from and facing the angular element receiving surface of the first protrusion forming an element receiving cavity therebetween, and further wherein a horizontal distance between the element receiving surface of the second protrusion and the angular element receiving surface of the first protrusion is greatest at a height that is closer to the first side of the base material than to the top surface of the first protrusion; andwherein the element receiving cavity is configured to contain at least one heating element of the radiant heating assembly. 2. The underlayment of claim 1, further comprising: at least two routing hubs disposed adjacent to one another forming a routing element receiving cavity therebetween, wherein each routing hub comprises at least four protrusions equally-spaced in a circular array about an array axis. 3. The underlayment of claim 2, wherein the at least two routing hubs are configured to contain the at least one heating element via the element receiving cavity and the routing element receiving cavity. 4. The underlayment of claim 1, wherein said first protrusion and said second protrusion further have at least one cutout portion. 5. The underlayment of claim 4, wherein said cutout portions are adapted to receive one of at least adhesive, epoxy, grout, cement, glue, and plastic. 6. The underlayment of claim 1, wherein said element receiving surface is one of an arcuate receiving surface and an angular receiving surface. 7. The underlayment of claim 1, wherein said first protrusion and said second protrusion are formed from said base material. 8. A floor assembly, comprising; an underlayment layer having a base material defining an area and having a first side and a second side disposed opposite the first side, a first protrusion disposed on the first side of the base material, the first protrusion configured as a geometric shape comprising a top surface, a sloping surface, and at least two sides, wherein the sloping surface forms an obtuse angle with the top surface and slopes downwardly from the top surface to the first side of the base material, and one or more of the at least two sides includes an angular element receiving surface, and a second protrusion disposed on the first side of the base material and adjacent to the first protrusion, the second protrusion configured as a geometric shape having at least two sides, wherein one or more of the at least two sides includes an element receiving surface, and wherein the element receiving surface of the second protrusion is offset from and facing the angular element receiving surface of the first protrusion forming an element receiving cavity therebetween; and wherein the element receiving cavity is configured to contain at least one heating element of the radiant heating assembly; anda heating member positioned between protrusions wherein the protrusions secure the heating member;wherein a horizontal distance between the element receiving surface of the second protrusion and the angular element receiving surface of the first protrusion is greatest at a height that is closer to the first side of the base material than to the top surface of the first protrusion. 9. The floor assembly of claim 8, further comprising: a pad layer, wherein said pad layer is attached to said base layer. 10. The floor assembly of claim 9, wherein said pad layer is attached to said base layer by at least one of adhesive, thermal bonding, welding, and mechanical attachment. 11. The floor assembly of claim 9, wherein said pad layer is at least one of foil, cork, rubber, plastic, concrete, wood, organic materials, inorganic materials, composites, and compounds. 12. The floor assembly of claim 9, further comprising a sub floor, wherein said sub floor is attached to a bottom side of said pad layer. 13. The floor assembly of claim 8, wherein said heating member is one of a wire and a fluid conduit.
