Heater Installation
Step 1: Begin Laying the Heater
• With the heater layout in mind, the overall process is to roll out the heater,
cut the mesh to change direction (if/when required) and secure the heater
to the subfloor
NEVER CUT THE HEATING ELEMENT
• Place the heater with the sticky side of the mesh face down, then roll the heater
out in accordance with your heater layout – This is your first run
• Ensure the heater is straight and under slight tension when sticking it down
HEATING ELEMENTS MUST NEVER TOUCH OR CROSS
• Press the mesh down so that the adhesive strips stick to the floor, keeping the
element in position
• If part of the mesh lifts, it can be stuck down with duct tape or hot melt glue
Step 2: Changing Direction of the Heater (if/when required)
• Once you’ve reached the end of the run you will need to change direction
• You will need to cut the mesh without cutting the heating element (see diagram
below)
• After cutting the mesh, you are now able to take the next part of the heater to
create your next run, using the same guidelines as above
• Things to keep in mind while setting up next run:
o Ensure that you do not flip the heater as you set up for your next run
o Ensure that the adhesive side of the mesh is still facing down after you have
rotated the heater
o Ensure that your next run is consistent with the heater layout you planned
o Where necessary, cut the mesh (without cutting the heater element) to
separate the element into a single line to get to another point (as seen in the
photo)
Step 3: Finish Laying Heater
• Repeat above steps until the heated area is covered as per your heater layout
• If there is extra heater length left over, you can either:
o Lay under wall hung fixtures
o Cut the mesh (without cutting the heater
element) to separate the element into a single
line and lay along the perimeter of the room,
around where the heater is already laid
