Under Tile, Stone or Slate Heating
Our flat ribbon under floor heating system works perfectly under a tile, slate or stone floor. The quick heat up times make it an ideal solution for making hard cold floors into comfy warm floors
Floor Preparation
The system can be installed on top of any type of sub floor, including concrete, wood, block and beam and insulated deck.
Installation Steps
- Dry lay your Easy-Heat insulation (cut to shape with a sharp knife)
- Once you are happy that all the boards will fit, remove the boards remembering where they will go
- Mix your Flexible tile adhesive and spread over your subfloor (3mm notch trowel) and replace the Easy heat insulation applying a bit of pressure to ensure it bonds
- Allow the flexible tile adhesive to set, if using rapid set flexible adhesive you should be able to walk on the insulation within 2 hours
- Lay down your ribbon heating mats using the double sided tape on each end of the heating mats
- Where required use our high adhesive tape to secure the edges
- Route the cold leads (live & neutral) to a junction box just above skirting board level
- Check the resistance of the heating elements matches with the resistance chart in installation manual
- Connect the cold leads using our 5 lever quick connectors
- Using a 10mm notch trowel spread an even bed of flexible adhesive over the heating mats and lay your tiles, slate or stone.
