under carpet

[Pjm 63]

any wire out their rated for under carpet in a residential situation? I saw FCC wire rated for under carpet for a commercial application not residential. Carpet is on a slab, trying to avoid channeling the concrete for emt.

What about under-carpet flat-wire by Tyco? It's been about 10yrs, but I've installed it before. You put a large strip of special tape down, then the flatwire and finally a sheet metal type of cover.

Must be a rough gig if you have to channel concrete rather than run through a ceiling.....
