…DONT’S

DON’T  

allow the STRATA_HEAT

 Wire on the mat to cross over or touch each other at any point as this can cause the cable 

to overheat. Always use the STRATA_HEAT Spacing Strips to avoid this. 

DON’T 

cut or shorten the STRATA_HEAT Wire at any time.

DON’T  

install the STRATA_HEAT Wire with any staples or other metal fixings that can damage the STRATA_HEAT Wire.   

DON’T  

store tiles, sharp or heavy objects on any of the STRATA_HEAT Wire while tiling or bang a trowel on the installation 

area to remove excess mortar from the trowel.

DON’T 

install the STRATA_HEAT Wire below 5°F (-15°C) ambient temperature. 

DON’T  

attempt to bypass the GFCI if it trips and cannot be reset during normal operation. Consult a qualified electrician or 

call the helpline for further assistance. 

DON’T 

install the STRATA_HEAT Wire under permanent fixtures. 

DON’T 

commence installation on a mud job/screed that has not been fully cured. 

DON`T

 

 use the STRATA_HEAT Wire system until you have allowed sufficient drying period for the finished floor.

DON’T  

cover the cold lead joint or termination joint with tape when securing the subfloor. This may cause air pockets 

resulting in the joints overheating. 

DON’T 

install the STRATA_HEAT Wire beyond the room or area in which they originate. 

DON’T  

attempt to repair the STRATA_HEAT Wire if it becomes damaged. Call the technical helpline for further instructions.

DON`T  

allow the STRATA_HEAT Thermostat to exceed the maximum temperature for your final floor finish. Always check 

the maximum temperatures allowed with the floor covering manufacturer. 

DON’T  

switch on the installed STRATA_HEAT Wire until tile adhesive has fully cured (1 – 3 weeks minimum), check 

adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.

DON’T 

install the cold leads closer than 2" (51 mm) from the STRATA_HEAT Wire on the mat.
