Wood Underfloor Heating Ribbon

Ribbon underfloor heating is very easy to install under a laminate or engineered board.

1. Engineered board or laminate floor
2. Ribbon Underfloor Heating
3. Therm-All insulation
4. Concrete or wooden subfloor.

Floor Preparation.

When installing underfloor 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 you ribbon underfloor heating mats on the insulation.
3. Use double sided tape on mats to stick the underfloor 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.
10. Sit back and enjoy.

Special Notes:

While underfloor heating is in operation it is important that no thermal barriers are placed over the top of the heating elements, thermal barriers include boxes of books or paper, bean bags, heavy rugs, large quantities of bedding or high tog quilts. If you are unsure as to what can be placed over the underfloor heating please contact your vendor.

Please remember heating mats cannot be cut, bent or overlapped, please see sizing chart and planning for full details
