DO Check with the manufacturer of your flooring, that their products are compatible with
radiant electric floor heating systems.
DO install the underlaminate heating mats on top of a polyethylene foam or reconstituted
rubber which is at least 1/8 inch (2mm) thick.
DO operate the heating mat with a Warmup floor sensor thermostat to ensure the floor
does not exceed the maximum temperature of 81˚F (27˚C), as recommended by
leading laminate/carpet floor manufacturers.
DO ensure that the system is operated with a Warmup c-UL Listed thermostat with built-in
GFCI, or that a GFCI breaker supplies the power.
DO connect all cold wire leads from the Warmup Underlaminate foil heating mats in
parallel inside an electrical junction box or boxes.
DO provide each room with an Warmup FOIL system with its own thermostat. Each Warmup
thermostat has a maximum capacity of 15 Amps. If the amount of Amps in the room is
greater than 15 Amps, divide the amperage over several thermostats.
DO consider using insulation under the mats to reduce running costs and warm-up time.
Call your Warmup representative for more information on insulation options.
DO ensure that no sharp edges (e.g. metal-edged laminate locking systems) come in
contact with the foil heating.
DO allow a minimum distance of 10 inches between the mat and the wall.
DO allow keep the Warmup foil mats separated from heat sources such as luminaries and
chimneys.
DO allow a minimum distance of 40mm between adjacent heating panels.
DO Indicate which circuits supplies power to the foil heating system and retain the c-UL
for each foil mat in a convenient location at the distribution box for reference by the
Electrical inspector or homeowner.
DO attach a warning label in a convenient location indicating where the foil mats have
been installed.
DO use listed conduit, fittings and other components.
DO ensure that all electrical work is undertaken by an approved contractor compliant to
the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the USA and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in
Canada, and all applicable local building and electrical codes.
