Cover the heating mat as is possible floor space, avoiding covering the areas occupied: flush gutters and ladders, pipes, bathrooms, toilets, always standing furniture. Also avoid areas that will be drilled. Do not put heating cables 18 mm closer to each other and never cross it. Minimum bending radius of 18 mm. Electricity consumption is definitely not in W/m2, and controlled by a thermostat to ensure optimal and economical operation of your underfloor heating. The heating mat is made on the basis of two-conductor heating cable, so it makes a connection in only one place. If you want to make a connection cable hidden, you need proshtrobit channel in the wall before you lay out the matrix. The room temperature must be above +5 ° C. If you use a floor sensor, you need to cut a channel for the two cables. The sensor probe should be installed between two cables under the mat. The floor sensor must also be placed in the mounting tube in order to be able to replace it if necessary. Also, after installing the sensor in the phone should make sure to cement or tile adhesive from getting inside the tube. Completely clean the floor with dust and finish primer. Always use a primer that is compatible with the screed. Waterproofing is required in wet areas. Lay mat in accordance with the drawing. When you reach the wall, you turn the mat, gently cutting the grid (without damaging the cable). Be careful with the scissors, which cut the grid mat. Do not cut heating cables. Always wear rubber boots when it's on the mat. Be careful when removing and lay mat to avoid damage. Black coupling should not be bent. Then, turn the mat in the right direction, ie left or right. Make space in the floor to accommodate the coupler. The entire heating mat, including the location of adherence to the "cold" cable must be covered with leveling compound or adhesive.

Squeeze the mat to the floor to smooth bumps to cover the leveling compound. Before and after application of screed by a qualified electrician, an examination of the following: - resistance wire - insulation resistance between conductors braided shield - In power circuits of electric heating floor should be applied protective device (RCD). When you use a leveling or glue mixture, make sure it is suitable for warm floors, and plastic. If the floor is ukladyvatsya ceramic tiles, then glue the tiles can be laid directly on the cable. Just make sure the cable is completely covered with adhesive composition, or screed. When using the alignment of the surface is desirable to attach the mat using a gun with glue or double-sided sticky tape to avoid "floating". It is important that the floor is completely dry before powering up. For complete drying screed is required up to 28 days. If another treatment instead of tiles (wood flooring, linoleum, carpet), requires screed thickness min. 3 mm, preferably 10 mm. In no case do not cut the heating cable.
