Roll out heating mats on top of the insulating material with the heating ribbon facing
down and the fiberglass net facing up. It is recommended to leave a gap of about
10 cm (4 inches) from the wall to the heating mats, and a gap of about 5 cm
(2 inches) between each mat (ribbon to ribbon). Ensure that each heating mat is
completely flat. Make sure that the cold leads of the mats are on the side of the mat
that is closest to the location of the electrical junction box (
See step 3 – Making
the Electrical Connection).
