Tips:                             

  • Use a modified thinset mortar
  • Do not run the mat until the mortar is cured
  • The heat radiates up from the mat, but not beyond the edge of the mat.
  • Stay close to toe kicks
  • Recommend to insulate floor over slab on or below grade or unheated crawl space to reduce heat loss.
  • Remove mortar from grout lines while still wet when laying tile
  • Set thermostat probe 12” into the mat area
  • Ensure probe will not be in sunlight or covered by a fixture as this may cause early shut down of the thermostat
  • On an engineered wood installation ensure that the thermostat is not run above 28C or 82F temp

Mat Test:                     

  • Test, before, during and after the installation process
  • Set your meter to ohms
  • Black and white on 120V mat to the two meter clamps
  • Black and red on 240V mat to the two meter clamps
  • The reading on the meter should be + / – 20% of the ohms value on the mat label.
