Installation Guide

SECTION 2. Designing the Installation
QuietWarmth Radiant Heat for Floating Floors is made up of four major components: the heating mats, the wiring,
the control device and the floor structure. These components work together to create a system that provides com-
fortable, trouble free floor warming or as primary heat when appropriately specified. Designing a QuietWarmth
system is straightforward. The following instructions will ensure a trouble-free design and full compliance with
the warranty requirements.
Sketch the System Layout
A sketch of the area to be warmed, including the mat locations and associated wiring is suggested to make instal-
lation and ordering as smooth as possible. Use the sketch below as an example. Allow at least 6 inches clearance
between the edge of the mats and the wall. Note that the thermostat is located on an interior wall where it will
not be subjected to direct sunlight and that the length of the non-heating leads is taken into account. Ensure that
non-heating leads will not cross over any heating mats.
