DO'S & DONT'S
ERKO
INSTALLATION PROCESS
The Erko underfloor heating system MUST NOT be installed in thin set cement or in direct contact with a cement or concrete
subfloor. The heater MUST be installed on top of a suitable soft insulation material. This prevents the heater from being
damaged when the weight of the floor, furniture and people are added. The insulation material should be at least 6 mm thick
and suitable for use with electric underfloor heating. It is important that you take into account the insulation properties, the
better the R value, the shorter the heat up time. If using an insulation board or similar, a soft underlay must be used to ensure
the heater is not in contact with the cement facing of the board.
Please ensure that the laminate flooring is suitable for use with electric
underfloor heating.
Most wood / laminate floors are compatible with the foil mats but we
do not recommend using any wood flooring thicker than 18 mm.
Wood flooring with metallic strips as part of their locking systems are
NOT compatible as these metallic strips may damage the foil mats.
Any wood floor with a pad already attached must not be used with the
foil mats. For wooden floors or similar the thermal resistance should
not exceed 0.15 [m²K / W].
