Floor Preparation

When installing under floor heating with wood, laminate or engineered board there is very little floor preparation needed, it is important that the subfloor is flat and smooth (Latex level compound may be needed). When the floor is flat ensure that it is free from dust and debris.

Installation Steps

  1. Roll out your 6mm therm-all insulation and cut so it covers the whole floor
  2. Lay your ribbon under floor heating mats on the insulation
  3. Use double sided tape on mats to stick the under floor heating mats to the insulation
  4. Where required use additional high adhesive tape to ensure the heating mats are secured
  5. Route the cold leads (live & neutral) to a junction box just above skirting board level
  6. Check the resistance of the heating elements matches with the resistance chart in installation manual
  7. Connect the cold leads using the revolutionary 5 lever quick connectors
  8. Lay your laminate or wood floor, glue the joints with a D3 PVA glue to seal the joints
  9. See Electrical section for setting up electrics, if installing in a wet area please see grounding kits
