ProWarm Underfloor Heating Edge Insulation 50m - 8mm

ProWarm Underfloor Heating Edge Insulation 50m - 8mm is a vital component designed specifically for screeded floors. It is used around the edge of the room to comply with Building Regulations, minimize unwanted heat loss, and allow for proper expansion of the flooring system. By placing edge insulation, you prevent the screed from bridging the gap between the wall and the floor insulation, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency of your underfloor heating system.

The Premium edging foam is 8mm thick, 100mm high and 50 metres long. It has a self adhesive backing making it the ideal choice that's quick and easy to install.

ProWarm Underfloor Heating Edge Insulation benefits:

• Effective Heat Loss Prevention: The edge insulation acts as a barrier, reducing heat loss and improving the energy efficiency of the underfloor heating system.
• Compliance with Building Regulations: By using edge insulation, you meet the requirements set by Building Regulations, ensuring a safe and efficient installation.
• Expansion Allowance: The edge insulation strips permit the free expansion of the floor screed, preventing potential issues caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
• Easy Installation: The edge insulation can be easily fitted around all surrounding walls, fixed constructions such as columns, steps, and access doorways. Made easy with its self adhesive backing, a staple gun can be also used for a secure and straightforward installation process.
• Trimming Capability: Any surplus insulation showing above the top of the finished floor screed can be easily trimmed once the screed has cured, allowing for a clean and professional finish.
• High-Quality Standards: The ProWarm Underfloor Heating Edge Insulation is KIWA/KOMO approved (Certificate numbers K14341, 14342, and 14343), WRAS approved, and manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 9002 (BSI registered firm Certificate FM00318).

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.
