For the best outcomes, we advise employing a 10mm thick insulation board, as it enhances heat retention and guarantees peak efficiency.

Please Note: The following is intended as a guide only. Always refer to the full installation manual for instructions.

1. Divide the floor into a series of rectangles (excluding any fixed units or furniture that sits flat to the floor). Calculate the area of each rectangle and add these together for the total free floor space to be heated. We recommend covering 90% of this area with electric underfloor heating mat.

2. Lay XPS insulation boards down onto the subfloor and tape all joints.

3. Starting as close to the thermostat as possible, lay the first run of matting. At the end of the run, cut the mat leaving the cable intact, turn the mat through 90° or 180° and continue laying. When the area is covered, adjust the mat until the loops are equal distance apart. Now attach the mat to the subfloor using the special tape supplied.

4. You will need to install an RCD fused spur which powers the thermostatic controller/programmer and the mat system. Lay the temperature probe from the timer-thermostat onto the floor, equidistant between two of the cable loops, and attach it to the floor surface. Now take the unheated power supply cable from the end of the mat system, which should be positioned near the thermostat. Once all the connections have been made to the power supply, run the heater(s) to ensure they are heating up (no more than 10 minutes).
