Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs )

Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs )

Step 1: Make sure the size mat you purchased is the correct size for your room. Now you need to plan the layout of the Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs ). Start doing this by doing a sketch of the room with all measurements of the mat. Also, know where you would be positioning your thermostat, as this would be the starting and end point of the Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs ).

Step 2: Make sure the floor surface is clean and level. If there are any rough patches, level them out with a self-levelling screed.

Step 3: Now, from the point where you would place your thermostat, roll out the Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs ) to the desired length, then cut the mesh to twist the mat to run parallel next to rolled length, carefully not to cut the wire. You may cut away some mesh if you have excess, this could happen when installing in bathrooms. Continue in this fashion until the desired floor space is covered, ending back at the starting point.

Step 4: To hold the  Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs ) in place, use strong duct tape, a hot glue gun or nails attached to the mesh, NOT the wire.

Step 5: If you are installing an external sensor (which would be used for bathrooms, screed floors and wooden floors ), this should be perfectly positioned in the middle of the heating wires. If you position it closer to one cable than the other, the temperature would not be gauged properly.

Step 6: If you had purchased an alarm ( ideally you should ), connect the cold tails ( this is the wire at the end of the  Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs ) which connects to the thermostat ), to the alarm to ensure the mat did not get damaged. If the alarm sounds, you have a problem.

Step 7. To lay your tiles or floor surface: There are 2 methods, it’s up to your own initiative.

Method 1: You can lay tiles directly on top of the mat ensuring the tile adhesive goes through the mesh to make contact with the concrete floor.

Method 2: Prepare a slurry mixture of self-levelling screed and bonding liquid. Spread this mixture over the Tile Heating Mat 500w (5Mtrs x 0,5Mtrs ) and leave it to dry. This mixture will get rock-hard. You can now install the floor surface of your choice.

Step 8. Check the alarm hasn’t sounded.

Step 9. You can now connect the thermostat to the heating system.

In our next blog, we will explain how to connect and position various models of thermostats.

Step 9. Let it dry for a few days before the first usage.

In summary, preparing the subfloor is a vital step in ensuring the successful installation of underfloor heating. By taking the time to properly prepare the surface, I can ensure that the heating system functions efficiently, providing warmth and comfort to the living space.

As a professional, the goal is always to provide the best possible underfloor heating system that provides consistent and comfortable warmth throughout the space. And by taking care to accurately measure and cut the heating mats, I can ensure that the final product meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.
