Tile, Stone, and Marble Installation
When installing QuietWarmth
®
Peel & Stick Radiant Heat under tile, stone, or marble, we highly recommend
Tile Counil of North America (TCNA) guidelines or ANSI specifications for minimum standards of installation. We
recommend latex-modified or epoxy modified mortar and grout, instead of water-based multi-purpose materials.
Select the proper size PLASTIC trowel for the installation of tile or stone. We recommend a minimum 3/8” x 1/4”
trowel. This trowel works best for most 1/4” tile.
If you need more information on tile installation, contact TCNA at [phone] or visit their Web site at www.tileusa.com.
Place Caution Stickers
Apply caution stickers provided with mats in appropriate locations, as shown below.
NOTE:
When installing tile, stone or marble over QuietWarmth
®
Peel
& Stick Radiant Heat, it is important to maintain a thin-set
thickness of 3/8” or less after the tile is embedded, even if the
mortar manufacturer allows for thicker installations. Thicker
mortar beds can potentially provide sufficient moisture to
cause some natural stones to warp or crown.
CAUTION:
Flooring materials must be rated for use
with electric floor warming system.
CAUTION:
Never bang a trowel on the mat to remove
excess mortar from the trowel. This could
damage the mat.
