Installation Guide

STEP 4: CHECK AND PREPARE THE SUBFLOOR

WarmlyYours oor warming systems may be installed over any suboor

that is approved for tile or stone application, including plywood, backer

board and concrete slabs.

Note: While WarmlyYours systems provide up

to 25% more heating power per square foot than

the nearest competitor, the slab will always act as

a “heat sink.” We suggest using Cerazorb

over a

slab, between the cable and slab.

The suboor should be carefully inspected to ensure that it is clean and free

of sharp edges, nails and other materials that may damage the system’s

warming cable. All debris should be removed, protrusions sanded ush

and the oor thoroughly vacuumed before installation.

Note: If the suboor is a concrete slab that contains an expansion

joint, position the system so that it does not cross over the joint.

STEP 5: TEST POSITION YOUR SYSTEM ON THE SUBFLOOR

BEFORE INSTALLING

You should test t the warming system on the suboor to determine where

you would like to have the oor warmed for your personal comfort. See

pages 8-10 for various layouts.

Tip 1: Locate placement of the system’s thermostat

or control device and arrange the power leads

accordingly. Power leads should run alongside

the system and should never cross over or under

the warming cable, or themselves.

Tip 2: Use a permanent marker directly on the

suboor to indicate where to position the system.

These marks will serve as a ready reference during nal installation.

Tip 3: If multiple system mats are being installed in a single room,

position each mat so that the warming cable or power leads do not cross

over one another, and are within reach of the thermostat.

Note: Warming mats are never attached to each other in series. The

power leads of each mat must return separately to the power source.
