Warmup Inscreed Metal Fixing Band

The Warmup Inscreed Metal Fixing Band is an essential accessory for securing the WIS (Warmup Inscreed) in-screed cable during installation. This metal fixing band ensures proper placement and stability of the heating cable, allowing for efficient and effective underfloor heating.

• Secure Cable Placement: The metal fixing band is designed to securely hold the WIS in-screed cable in place during installation, preventing any movement or displacement that could impact the performance of the heating system.
• Recommended Usage: For optimal results, it is recommended to use approximately 1 meter of metal fixing band for every 6 meters of wire, ensuring sufficient support and even distribution of the heating cable.
• Perpendicular Orientation: The fixing strips should be laid out perpendicular to the heating cable runs, ensuring that the cable is securely held in position and minimizing the risk of accidental damage.
• Secure Installation: To ensure stability, the metal fixing band must be secured to either the insulation or the concrete floor using appropriate fixing nails or an adhesive. This ensures a reliable and long-lasting installation with no movement or shifting of the fixings.
• Even Distribution: The fixing strips should be evenly spread across the floor at intervals of 0.75 meters, providing consistent support and securing the heating cable uniformly throughout the installation.
• Minimum Border Requirement: It is important to place the fixing strips in a manner that leaves a minimum border of 100mm around the perimeter of the room. This border ensures proper cable positioning and allows for the desired heating coverage.

Experience a secure and reliable installation with the Warmup Inscreed Metal Fixing Band. Designed for use with the WIS in-screed cable, this metal fixing band ensures proper cable placement and stability, allowing for efficient and effective underfloor heating in any room or 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.

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.
