7.2 Room layout and corresponding floor heating system product
• Create a room layout plan to scale (for maximum accuracy, use the manufacturer form designed
for this purpose);
• Identify all stationary elements (toilet, bath, shower, counters, drawers, and permanent furnishings)
and never install the heating cable under these stationary elements (Figure 1);
• Determine thermostat or temperature control location;
• Note room dimensions;
• Determine the electric cable (cold lead) location that will be connected to the heating control;
• Calculate the heating area in square meters (sq.m.) [square feet (sq.ft.)];
7.3 Preparing the subfloor
• Clean and remove any debris, or protruding objects that could damage the heating cable;
• Subfloor cracks must be filled with polyester wood filler (only for self-leveller);
• The subfloor must be solidly fastened in place to prevent movement;
• The application of a floor levelling product is recommended to prevent future damage to the ceramic caused
by subfloor movement;
• For concrete subfloors, apply a surface sealer that is compatible with electrical heating systems in accordance
with the cement glue manufacturer’s instructions. Completely coat the surface;
• Let dry before installing floor heating system (refer to the sealer's instructions for drying time).
