How to Use This Manaul
Before You Begin
The QuietWarmth
®
Peel & Stick Radiant Heat mats are a unique floor heating system with anti-fracture membrane
installed under thin-set installations of tile, stone, and marble. Completely unseen, QuietWarmth combines easy
release liner installation with anti-fracture protection to provide warmth and comfort to tile, stone, and marble.
QuietWarmth is a safe and efficient electric floor warming product for interior applications. It cannot be used for
exterior snow melting applications. It is intended for installation below tile, stone, marble, and other masonry
flooring materials in residential and moderate commercial installations.

®
Peel & Stick Radiant Heat can be used to heat a room as well as to warm the floors. Refer to “Heat
Loss Calculations” on page 4 for further information.QuietWarmth is designed to deliver 12 watts per square foot.
The floor temperature attainable is dependent upon how well the floor is insulated, the temperature of the floor
before start up, and in the case of uninsulated slab applications, the thermal transfer of the underlying materials.
QuietWarmth’s efficiency is maximized with a well insulated sub floor.
