For large rooms it is common practice to use more than one heating cable. In these circumstances there is a choice of subdividing the room into separate zones each controlled by its own thermostat or connecting the heating cables together electrically in parallel and using a single thermostat. When controlling more than one heating cable from a single thermostat it may be necessary to incorporate a contactor into the control circuit.

 

Tiled Floor The EHM heating mat should be installed in a flexible self-levelling compound or directly into the tile adhesive. It is important that the heating cable is completely covered.

Other Floor Surfaces (carpet, vinyl, engineered wood and laminate floor) The EHM mat should completely covered in a flexible self-levelling compound with the required floor surface applied once the compound is completely dry. Great care must be taken to ensure that fixing devices are not driven through the heating cable. Where underlay is required, the lowest tog option is recommended. If there is any doubt about the suitability of any given floor surface for use with underfloor heating, Confirmation should be sought from the flooring supplier.
