Planning: Performing a resistance test

Planning: Thermofoil PRO™ cable formation options

! IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS !Planning checklist:

The section below highlights some common cable formations to tackle irregular areas too small for a Thermofoil PRO mat. If you cannot see a solution to your installation here please call our customer help line (0800 019 5899).

Cable formation: Solutions for common and irregular areas

Be sure to check the electrical resistance reading on the cable three times; before, during and after the installation process. These test symbols throughout this guide are a reminder:

Three test symbols

Test Live and Neutral, conducting the test in this way ensures total accuracy.

Resistance testWrite each resistance value on the customer handover form (P11) to ensure your customer can complete the warranty form online.

Record results

When you reach the end of a run, a simple turn can be achieved by cutting across the silverfoil (not the cable!) with scissors or a sharp blade. Turn the mat 180O and roll it out parallel to the first run.

Thermofoil PRO will not always fit the spaces around irregular shapes like a bath, toilet or sink pedestal.

In this case simply remove the cable from the mesh and arrange in loops to cover the area. Use a minimum cable spacing of 50mm and fix in place using the provided aluminium tape.

Do not place directly under permanent fixtures or furniture such as under pedistals or vanity units.

Planning: Layout

Use the grid above to plan your installation. This will help you to produce the safest, quickest and cleanest result with as little wastage as possible.

Measure your room, if you don’t already know the dimensions, and make a note of the available floor space excluding any obstacles or fixtures you might have such as sanitary ware, furniture or drainage. Use the grid to plan your installation layout making sure to include thermostat and sensor positions.

Correct spacing is essential for an efficient system. Ensure Thermofoil PRO is spaced evenly with at least 50mm gap around the perimeter of the installation.

If your floor finish manufacturer requires, you will need to allow for an edge insulation foam strip. Ask manufacturer if unsure.

Load calculations: Use the calculation below to work out the overall current draw for your Thermofoil PRO system. If this value is over 16A you will need to have a contactor/snubber installed by a Part P qualified electrician. Call our technical help line if you have any questions (0800 019 5899).

The Thermofoil mat must not be installed in direct contact with a cement or concrete slab. The heater must be installed on top of a suitable rigid insulation board.

Econoboard Insulation board may be used if additional levels of insulation are required but a soft underlay will need to be installed on top of the board.

A vapour barrier should be installed between the Thermofoil PRO mat and floor finish. This helps to eliminate any possible damage that could be caused by movement in the floating floor.

The Thermofoil mat must not be installed in direct contact with timber floor boards or chip board flooring. The heater must be installed on top of a suitable rigid insulation board.

Make sure your substrate and insulation is clean and dust free before installing your Thermofoil PRO heating mat.

Lay Thermofoil PRO wire side up where possible. Place the Thermofoil PRO in the starting position, and roll it out ensuring the conduit position lines up in between two runs of heating cable as planned.

Feed the cold tail up and into the channel in the wall, through the cavity or pre installed conduit.

If you have not already done so now is a good time to chase a shallow channel out of the insulation or substrate to recess the cold tail into the floor slightly. This will make fitting your floor finish easier.

Step 1: Roll out the mat Step 2: Simply cut and turn the mat

Installation: Lay Thermofoil PRO mats

Allow a gap of between 50 - 100mm from the wall to the edge of the Thermofoil PRO mat.

PRO TIP

! IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS !Step 1 & 2 checklist:

LAY THERMOFOIL PRO WIRE SIDE UP WHERE POSSIBLE

LEAVE GAP OF 50-100MM BETWEEN MAT & WALL

When you reach the end of a run, a simple turn can be achieved by cutting across the foil with scissors or a sharp blade, never cut the heating cable. Turn the mat 180O and roll it out parallel to the first run.

All exposed cable must be covered and cut mats must be joined for earth continuity and safety. Tape over all exposed cable and join any cut mats together using the provided aluminium fixing tape. Run an earth continuity test if unsure.

Your thermostat may require a different wiring diagram. Please consult the relevant installation guide for full details.

You can now lay a vapour barrier and then the final floor covering. Please take care not to damage the mat in any way. If you are not instantly laying your floor finish onto Thermofoil PRO please cover with a protective material in the meantime.

Floating and laminate floors usually require an strip of expansion foam around the edge of the room. Check your floor finish manufacturer guidelines for more information.

Step A: Heak Pak - Carpet and vinyl floors Step B: Heat Pak continued & floor finish

Installation: Carpet or vinyl flooring - Heat Pak

It is important to check that any trimming of the top board is accurate and that the adhesive coating is free from dust or fragments before removing the protective film from the baseboards. The adhesive will allow minor adjustments to be made for accurate positioning until pressure is applied.

Tapping down with a rubber mallet will ensure close contact of the adhesive coatings and produce a strong, permanent bond. Take care to position boards accurately as it is very difficult to separate them once bonded. The heating system must be switched off before installing Heat Pak. If the floor finish is to be glued to the Heat Pak , the system must not be switched back on until the glue has set completely. Temperatures should then be increased gradually.

Special attention should be made to the location of the floor sensor. A 5mm wide groove should be formed in the top board layer of the Heat Pak to take the tip of the sensor and allow the cable to run to the 50mm gap at the edge of the room. If the final floor finish is to be vinyl or similar the groove/sensor and joins should be covered with flexible filler.

You are now ready to apply your floor adhesive (if necessary) and floor finish. Please ensure you wait at least 24 hours before applying any adhesives to Heat Pak.

If you are installing carpet, vinyl or another non-laminate flooring you will need Heak Pak. You will need a vapour barrier (200 microns) between Thermofoil and Heat Pak.

The Heat Pak system consists of two self-adhesive boards, baseboards and top boards, which bond to each other. Heat Pak is a floating sub-floor. It is not fixed to the floor below. Each layer is laid out with staggered joints and arranged so that the top boards overlap the joints in the baseboards. Baseboards are thinner and have a protective plastic film to keep the self-adhesive coating clean. This is laid facing upwards and the film is left in place until cutting and fitting is completed.

The top boards are thicker and have no plastic film over the adhesive coating. They are carefully positioned, adhesive side down, so that they overlap all the baseboard joints.
