Steps 5, 6 & 7
When you have reached the end of the mat run,
carefully cut the grey backing mat in between the
two orange cables (do not cut the orange cable)
and turn the mat to its new position. Ensure the
cable remains a minimum of 50mm apart.
Once the mat is turned and secured, continue this
process until all of the mat is used. Then check the
complete matting area is securely fixed to the floor.
Check the resistance of the mat again (see
page 7 for details) to make sure damage
hasn’t occurred during the installation process.
Note
In some instances it may be necessary to remove
the orange cable from the grey backing mat.
Ensure the cables are not laid in areas where
fixed appliances could be positioned e.g.
underneath sink basins or toilet pans.
Important Note
After the finished floor covering has been laid,
perform the following tests (see page 7 for details):
• Insulation resistance test
• Heating cable resistance test
• Thermostat floor sensor resistance test
Record your findings in the test & commission
form enclosed in the mat box.

Steps 8 & 9
The mat can now be covered with either a flexible
tile adhesive or flexible self-levelling compound.
Check there are no air pockets then carefully spread
the flexible tile adhesive or self-levelling compound
until all mat areas and heating cables are covered.
You can tile directly over the mat. Carefully apply the
flexible tile adhesive with a notched trowel ensuring
each tile is securely fixed, and all mat and cable
areas are completely covered with the adhesive.

Steps 3 & 4 (continued)
The factory made cold tail joint must be positioned in
the floor area. Once the mat cold tail (power cable) and
thermostat floor sensor probe have been positioned
(ensure the sensor probe is situated between two
heating elements) you can start to lay your mat.
Following your previously drawn mat layout, ensure
the mat is placed on the floor with the adhesive side
down. Unroll your mat until you reach the end of
your first run.
