Important Notes:
Due to their moisture content, solid and kiln dried wood floor coverings should be laid, but not fixed, to allow acclimatisa-
tion with the heating system energised before final fixing. Allowances should be made for expansion. Refer to manufac-
turers instructions.
Laminate and veneered/engineered flooring needs to have an allowance made for expansion. Refer to manufacturers
instructions
The Carbon Heating Film, when installed under a wood floor, will heat the floor to a temperature of 27°C. This is the limit
to which most wood floors can be heated to. Consult wood flooring manufactures technical details for further information.
Please note that the surface temperature of the wood flooring under rugs and flush or low profile furniture may exceed
27°C if not monitored.
If other floor finishes are to be installed over the carbon film, e.g. Carpet, Vinyl etc, a stable floating floor must be con-
structed. Heat-Pak® flooring is recommended for this application, which is available from your underfloor heating supplier,
to give a smooth and thermally conductive sub-floor.
