1. Prepare the Heating Film according to the process outlined in the

General Installation Instructions beginning on page #24.

2. Adhere the Heating Film to the slab or sub-floor using a moisture

resistant or water proofing indoor/outdoor flooring adhesive by rolling

back 1/2 a sheet at a time, using a 3/16”-1/4”(5-6mm) V-notch trowel

to apply adhesive to the floor, setting the Heating Film down onto the

adhesive. Using a roller, apply a continuous, even pressure with

overlapping strokes making a permanent bond between the sub-floor

and film.

3. Install the linoleum or vinyl flooring according to the manufacturer’s

specifications.
