14 PROGRESS PROFILES - PRODESO HEAT SYSTEM
Installation
Preparation
• Before laying PRODESO HEAT MEMBRANE make sure that the substrate
is load bearing, compact, flat and free of oils, greases and waxes which could
prevent proper adhesion.
• Before laying
PRODESO HEAT MEMBRANE make sure that the substrate
is in accordance with local and national building codes and norms.
• In case of a wood based substrate check that the panels are properly secured.
• In the case of vinyl flooring, make sure that the underlying structure is sound
and suitable for the intended use and that the vinyl flooring is securely attached.
• In case of anhydrite based underlayment verify that the moisture content
is less than 2%.
Mortar Required for fixing PRODESO HEAT MEMBRANE to substrate.
50lbs ( 22.70Kg) for 100ft2 (9.3 m2 ) using 1/4” x 3/8” (6 mm x 10 mm) square or U-notched trowel
Apply a compatible adhesive to the substrate
using a suitable trowel.
Lay the next sheet of PRODESO HEAT
MEMBRANE making sure to align it with
the previous one, without overlapping. Align
the square reliefs to facilitate the installation
of the heating cables.
Apply PRODESO HEAT MEMBRANE,
previously cut, on the adhesive.
Press the membrane evenly with a roller or a
plastic flat trowel.
Check coverage of PRODESO HEAT
MEMBRANE; in case of partial coverage,
increase the amount of adhesive or its fluidity.
Warning:
If heavy mechanical loads are foreseen
(frequent passages), it is recommended
to protect the laid membrane with
wooden planks to ensure proper bonding.
