Pre-installation preparations
9.1 Installation tips
• For multilayer wood flooring (engineered floor) or linoleum, it is recommended that you consult the manufac-
turer to verify whether these floor coverings are compatible with a floor heating system;
• Fasten the cold lead and floor sensor to a concrete subfloor with adhesive (hot glue, tape).
9.2 Floor Covering tips
• It is strongly recommended to coat the subfloor with a sealer before spreading the self-levelling cement
(which is very liquid). This is to prevent any leaks under the floor;
• The use of a latex primer on a concrete subfloor is recommended to ensure the self-levelling cement adheres
better to the concrete;
• With multilayer wood flooring (engineered floor), applying a minimum 6.4 mm (1/4”) layer of self-levelling
cement on the heating cable is recommended. To completely embed the cable in the cement or cement glue;
• It is important to respect the drying times recommended by the manufacturer to prevent residual moisture
from affecting the adherence of floor coverings such as vinyl, linoleum, or wood.
