Installation Step 9 - Tiling
The tile adhesive and grout should be suitable
for use with underfloor heating. For further
information refer to the Technical Notes
section on Page 9.
Where possible when tiling, gently comb the
adhesive in straight lines in the same direction
as the runs of the heating element. If possible
use a plastic trowel. Where possible, combing
the adhesive at right angles to the element
should be avoided.
Use sufficient adhesive to ensure that there
are no voids or hollows under the tile.
If a tile has been positioned incorrectly, care
should be taken not to damage the heating
element when lifting the tile.
Do not store or cut tiles on top of the heater.
Do not allow chippings or dust to contaminate
the floor during tiling. Care must be taken not
to damage the heating element during the
tiling process.
Use a piece of carpet or cardboard as a ‘crawl
board’ to prevent the heater being damaged
by your feet or knees during the tiling process.
If possible, periodically test the heater during
tiling. If the heater is not working, DO NOT
CONTINUE, call Warmtech Technical Support
on 1300 138 126.
The thickness of covering materials shall be at least 5mm.
The maximum thermal resistance between the heating unit and the room is
0.333per sqm K/W.
