Warmup DCM-PRO Decoupling Mat

The Warmup DCM-PRO Decoupling Mat is an advanced solution for protecting tiled floors while offering convenience and efficiency in installation. This innovative decoupling membrane is designed to absorb lateral subfloor movements, effectively safeguarding the tiled floor finish from potential cracks.

One of the standout features of the Warmup DCM-PRO is its self-adhesive underside, which eliminates the need for an additional adhesive layer during installation. This peel-and-stick membrane attaches directly to the subfloor, saving valuable time and effort. With no adhesive layer required, the installation process becomes significantly faster and more straightforward.

The dimensions of the membrane are precisely tailored for easy sizing. Each 2m² section of the membrane perfectly accommodates 2m² of heating cable, ensuring optimal coverage and power distribution. For added flexibility, the spacing of the cable can be adjusted to increase or decrease the coverage area and power output. Installation is tool-free, allowing you to effortlessly position the heating cable within the membrane's castellations by hand.

The Warmup DCM-PRO Peel & Stick V3 Mat offers versatility in application. It can be tiled directly onto the membrane, providing a secure and durable surface. Alternatively, when used with other floor finishes that are certified for use with underfloor heating, the membrane can be covered with a layer of self-levelling compound. This compatibility allows for various design options and ensures optimal performance with different types of floor finishes.

Experience the benefits of Warmup DCM-PRO, from its unique decoupling technology for floor protection to its time-saving peel-and-stick installation method. Whether you're a homeowner or a professional installer, this advanced membrane provides peace of mind and exceptional efficiency when it comes to underfloor heating projects. Enjoy the convenience, reliability, and durability that Warmup DCM-PRO brings to your tiled floor installations.

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.
