maintain a gap between heating wire runs of at least 50mm (2 inches) at all times. 

DO

make sure that ALL heating wire, including joints, are positioned under the tiles in the 
installation. 

DO

protect the heating wire with cardboard or hardboard between installation and tiling.

use ceramic tile adhesives and grouts suitable for use with underfloor heating.

DO

check that the heater is working immediately before commencing tiling.

DO

take particular care when tiling not to dislodge or damage the heating wire.

DO

ensure that each tile is solidly bedded in tile adhesive, with no gaps or voids beneath.

DO

DON’T

install the mat in temperatures less than +5°C.

DON’T

bend the heating cable under a 25mm radius.

The heating must be separated from other heat sources such as luminaires and chimneys.

WARNING

During the course of the installation care must be taken to ensure that no damage is caused by, for
example, falling objects, sharp objects, walking on the heating element. Once the heating wire has been
installed avoid all traffic over the wire until the floor has been tiled and the adhesive has set. Do not install
the heating wire until the floor is ready to be tiled. If the floor is not being tiled immediately, all heating
wires must be protected with two layers of cardboard or hardboard to prevent damage. Immediately prior
to tiling, test the heating wires as specified on page 14 to check it has not been damaged. If you are in
any doubt call the Warmup
