Installation

The installation method for ProWarm XP-PRO boards depends on the type of heating system being installed:

• Foil Underfloor Heating: Lay the boards in a staggered brick bond pattern, and then place the foil heating mat directly over the boards for optimal performance.
• Underfloor Heating Mats: When using XP-PRO boards with underfloor heating mat systems, the boards must be securely fixed to the subfloor using a suitable flexible tile adhesive. This ensures stability and proper heat distribution for your underfloor heating system.

Experience the benefits of superior insulation and efficient underfloor heating with ProWarm XP-Pro Insulation Boards. With their high-performance features and easy installation process, these boards are the perfect choice for achieving a comfortable and energy-efficient living space.

Specifications

High-Quality Construction

• 
  ProWarm Electric Underfloor Heating Sticky Mat: Utilizes the same premium cable as the ProWarm Loose Cable kit. The mat incorporates a sticky fibreglass mesh to ensure optimal heat output by maintaining proper cable spacing. Installation is straightforward—simply roll out the mat to cover the desired heating area.
• 
  Heating Cable: Series-type with twin conductors and a 4m cold lead at one end.
• 
  Cable Composition: The resistance heating wire is encased in a fluoropolymer insulation layer, wrapped in protective metal shielding, and enclosed in a final plastic outer sheath. The twin conductor cable has a final diameter of 2mm.
• 
  Junction Design: Unique design for hot and cold lead junctions ensures they are 100% foolproof.

Standards and Approvals

• 
  Standards: Meets all test requirements of IEC 60335.
• 
  Certifications: CE certified by SGS.

Performance and Benefits

• 
  Cost-Effective: Provides heat precisely where needed, optimizing heat utilization and minimizing losses.
• 
  Flexibility: Can be installed in any area or floor layout.
• 
  Comfort: Close and uniform spacing of heating cables, combined with thermostat controls, allows for precise temperature settings, enhancing comfort.
• 
  DIY-Friendly: Designed for easy installation with clear instruction manuals and professional technical support.
• 
  Versatility: Available in various heat loads and sizes to suit various flooring types.

Mat Dimensions

• Floor Primer - a high-performance universal priming/sealing agent suitable for plaster, timber, brick, and block work.
• Roller - a high-quality roller for applying floor primer to the subfloor
• Adhesive tape - works to assist in holding a mat or cable in position during installation
• 2m Floor Sensor Probe Conduit - provides a protective pathway for the sensor probe, connecting to your thermostat
• Digital thermostat (if selected) - adjust the heat settings and enjoy warm floors through a simple touch of a button

Installation

Please Note: This is a brief guide. Always refer to the full installation manual for comprehensive instructions.

1. Plan Your Layout:

• Divide the floor into a series of rectangles. Use these measurements to calculate the number and sizes of mats needed, excluding permanent or static fixtures from your calculations.

2. Prepare the Subfloor:

• For screed over concrete floors, lay insulation boards to minimize heat loss and ensure quicker warm-up times.

3. Lay the Heating Mat:

• Start with the first run of the mat. Cut the mat (leaving the cable intact) at the end of each run, turn it 90° or 180°, and continue laying.
• Once the area is covered, adjust the mat so that the loops are evenly spaced.
• Secure the mat to the subfloor using the special tape provided.

4. Electrical Connections:

• Install an RCD fused spur to power the thermostatic controller/programmer and the mat system.
• Lay the temperature probe from the timer-thermostat onto the floor, position it equidistant between two cable loops, and secure it to the surface.
• Position the unheated power supply cable from the end of the mat system near the thermostat.
• Make all necessary connections to the power supply. Run the heaters for no more than 10 minutes to ensure they are heating up properly.

5. Finish the Flooring:

• Option 1: Apply a thin, self-levelling screed over the mat and allow it to dry completely before laying tiles.
• Option 2: Directly trowel flexible tile adhesive over the mat and lay the floor tiles.
• After grouting, let the tile adhesive cure fully before switching on the system.
