Plaster Walls
•
When the plaster has been
installed, conduct another
resistance test to ensure the
sensor and heater have not
been damaged and record in
the control card.
•
If you are planning to have
a plastered wall rather than
a tile finish you
MUST
lay a
minimum 8 mm base coat of
plaster over the heater first
followed by a final layer of
plaster not less than 2 mm
thick. You must ensure that all
heating cables, including both
coldtail and termination joint
are completely covered.

NOTE:
If installing anything over the plaster finish such as textile tiles,
the combined resistance of both plaster and final wall finish must not
exceed 0.1 m² K/W or 1 tog.
