Heater Information

Warmup FOIL Heaters should not be installed under flat-bottom furniture or any permanent
fixtures, such as cabinets. Please see below for specific restrictions in regards to furniture use
and placement, remembering you have heating mats operating under your carpet / laminate
floors.
• NEVER puncture the carpet with nails, staples or other sharp objects
• NEVER use nails or screws in the floor to secure furniture above Warmup FOIL heaters
• Area rugs can be placed over the flooring surface, but the total thickness over the heater
(including your flooring) should never exceed 1 ½”
• ALWAYS ensure that chairs, tables and furniture legs are over 1” square or make use of
PVC “carpet protectors” or protective sliding pads
• NEVER leave items larger than 6” x 6” permanently over the carpet as they will trap the
heat (bean bag, dog bed, etc)
• ALWAYS ensure a minimum of 2” clearance for low lying furniture on legs to allow free
movement of air.
• Nver place any item with a footprint of 36 square inches (e.g. 6” x 6”) or more on the
capet, if the item is thicker than 1”. (e.g. a dog bed, bean bag, mattress)
The maximum allowable PSI rating on top of the FOIL heaters is 100 lbs per square inch.
You can obtain the PSI of your furniture by dividing the overall weight of the item by the total
contact surface with the floor (if your table has 2” by 2” legs, that is 4” x 2” x 2” = 16” square).
Specific Items of furniture that should not be allowed onto the carpet surface.
• Pianos
• Stands for Hi-fi speakers that have sharp points as feet
• Bookcases
• Closed-bottom furniture.
