Laying Warmup® Undertile Matting System
Note: The following is intended as a guide only. Always refer to the installation manual for full instructions (download). You may also view our Installation Video.Measuring and planning: Divide the floor into a series of rectangles. From these measurements you can calculate how many mats you'll need and what sizes. Exclude permanent or static fixtures from your calculations.
| Floor preparation: If the floor is self-levelling compound over concrete, it is advisable to lay insulation boards to minimize heat loss and ensure quicker warm up times. |
 |
 |
| Laying the Matting System: Lay the first run, at the end of the run cut the mat leaving the cable intact, turn the mat through 90º or 180º and continue laying. When the area is covered, adjust the mat until the loops are equal distance apart. Now attach the mat to the sub floor using the special tape supplied. |
|
 |
| Connecting to the power supply: Lay the temperature probe from the programmable thermostat onto the floor centered between two of the cable loops and secure it to the floor surface. Now take the unheated power lead from the end of the matting system which should be positioned near the thermostat. Refer to the installation manual for testing instructions and readings. |
|
 |
| Completing the job: Either lay a thin, self-levelling compound over the mat and leave it to dry before laying tiles or trowel flexible tile adhesive directly over the mat and lay the floor tiles. Once the grouting is complete let the tile adhesive cure before switching on the system. |

The heater can be installed without the need for specialist tools or expertise (in accordance with local building code). It is important, however, that the Warmup® Thermostat be connected by a qualified electrician.
The underfloor heater is suitable for wooden or concrete tile sub-floors overboarded by cement backer board or ¾” plywood (insulated tile backer board is recommended for concrete sub-floors).The radiant heater is so thin, it is absorbed into the thickness of tile adhesive without raising your floor level.
All that remains visible is the discreet Warmup Thermostat.
The Warmup Radiant Heating can be fitted into any shape or size of room and has the flexibility to be installed around permanent fixtures such as tubs, vanity units etc.|Floor preparation:
