Underfloor heating cable installation
Planning –
When installing underfloor heating cable system’s use our installation guide to make sure you
space the cables accurately. Now make sure you have calculated the correct m2 and have the correct sized cable spacing (see Instruction manual). This is to make sure the heat is the same over the whole floor. Heating wire can be 135, 160 or 200 Watt depending on the spacing – See this chart.

- Put down two layers of double sided adhesive tape at the start/ end and middle of each run.
