DON’T
Cut or shorten the heating element at any time.
Commence installation on a concrete floor that has
not been fully cured.
Leave surplus matting rolled up under units or
fixtures - USE THE CORRECT SIZE MAT.
Plan your mat layout and installation so that any
drilling after tiling (e.g. for sanitary ware) will not
damage the wiring.
Install the mat on irregular surfaces such as stairs
or up walls.
Maintain a minimum gap of 50mm between wire
runs and from conductive parts such as water pipes.
Use staples to secure the the heating element to
the subfloor.
Check that the mat is working, immediately before
commencing tiling.
Run the floor sensor wire or power lead over or
under the heating element or close to other heat
sources such as hot water pipes.
Take particular care when tiling not to dislodge or
damage the heating wire. Ensure that during the course
of the installation that no damage is caused by, for
example, falling objects, sharp objects etc.
Connect two mats in series, only connect mats in
parallel.
Commence tiling before testing the mat.
Wear gloves to prevent irritation from the fibreglass
mesh.
Ensure the end cap and manufactured joint are
under a full bed adhesive or levelling compound and
covered with a tile.
Switch on the installed mat until 8 days after fitting
to allow the tile adhesive to dry completely.
Install the mat in temperatures less than 5°C.
Bend the heating cable under 25 mm radius.
Ensure that a heat loss calculation has been carried
out and heating requirements have been met if you
are using the underfloor system as a primary source
of heating.
Use the heating system to dry out levelling
compound or adhesive.
Tape over the end cap or manufactured joint.
Ensure that the heating mats are separated from
other heat sources such as luminaires and chimneys.
Ensure that the maximum thermal resistance of the
floor does not exceed 0.15 [m²K / W].
Attempt a DIY repair if you damage the heating mat.
