INTRODUCTION:

Thank you for purchasing the Environ II Electric Radiant Floor Heating Panel. 

This manual contains IMPORTANT information regarding the safe use and installation of your Environ II

 

panel, so please 

read through the entire manual carefully before you install or use your panel.

BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER - SOME REALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

•  

Environ II panels are designed for installation directly under carpet and wood laminate, on top of the underlayment 
pad. “Floating - engineered wood” fl oors up to 3/8” thick are also acceptable. 

  

Environ II panels are NOT designed for installation under ceramic tile, natural stone or similar hard fl oor coverings; 
and MUST NOT be installed under nailed hardwood fl ooring. Other products are available to heat these types of 
fl oor – contact WarmlyYours.com, Inc. for more information.

•  

Certain types and thicknesses of underlayment pad, carpet and wood laminate are NOT compatible with Environ 
II panels (see pages 9,13); and we DO IMPOSE SOME RESTRICTIONS on the TYPE AND PLACEMENT OF 
FURNITURE items on your heated fl oor (see pages 7,9,12,15). To ensure your intended installation does not 
confl ict in any way with these restrictions, please read the relevant sections in this Installation Manual carefully 
before installing the panels.

We want your installation to be trouble-free.   If you are confronted with a problem you cannot solve, please do not  hesitate 
to pick up the phone and call us at  (
