Step 3: Laying Out Your Heating Mats
Once the underlayment/insulation has been fitted in the normal
manner, remove your Warmup® Foil mat from the packaging
box, unroll it completely and place it in the required position on
top of the underlayment/insulation. Make sure that Warmup Foil
heating mats are installed with the correct orientation. The side
marked “THIS SIDE UP” is facing upwards.
When positioning the mat on the underlayment/insulation, be
aware of the following:
• Keep it at least 6 inches (250mm) from any edge of the
Laminate and 12” for the carpet, (to prevent the spikes of
the power stretcher damaging the mat )
• Ensure the power supply cables can reach the thermostat
point to which they will be connected;
• Wherever possible, keep the corners where the power supply
cable enters the mat away from high traffic areas. Run the
power supply cables parallel or at right angles to the walls.
• NEVER run the power supply cables under or over the mats .
• The power supply cables (non heating leads) must be
installed in accordance with applicable national electric
building codes.
• The power supply cables (non heating leads) are to be
installed in listed conduit as the cables exit the floor where
mandated by building codes.
• Warmup Foil mat can be cut and turned at 90º or 180º
angles while laying to cover the total area.
NOTE : Cables MUST NOT be cut.
