Installation Manual
Cable Kit Instructions
All cables incorporate an earth screen to allow installation into wet areas. The diagram shows
a bathroom that is just under 3m x 3m . The total usable area is however 5m².
Therefore for optimum heat output the correct kit to use will be EK10 750 covering 4.7m². This
example also highlights the advantage of the Flexel Ecofloor twin conductor heating cable
requiring connection to the electricity supply at one end only thereby removing the need to
design the layout to get the cable back to the termination point.
(If in doubt and on receipt of a marked and sc aled drawing your supplier will calculate the
appropriate kit required).
2). Floor preparation.
Cable kits can be laid onto most existing floor surf aces that are sound and suitably prepared.
Any existing floor coverings such as carpet or vinyl must be removed. Bitumast ic sealant
should, be covered with a floor-levelling screed,
Primer.
When installing the kit over concrete, wooden or existing tiled floors refer to the
manufacturers standard guidelines.
Concrete floor.
New concrete floors must be allowed time to cure naturally. This will depend on weather
conditions but normally 1 week per 25mm is tak en as a guideline. Existing concrete floors
must be clean and level and where necessary a self-levelling screed (latex compound) should
be applied ahead of the cable installation.
