Step 1 - Materials and ToolsAssemble for a DIY fault free installation: * WarmlyYours floor warming roll(s) of mesh backed cable |
 |
Step 2 - Cuts and TurnsCut the fiberglass mesh roll with scissors to create "panels". Position the panels around fixtures using cuts and turns to accommodate the system design lay out. Use the custom floor plans where provided. NEVER cut the warming cable; cut the mesh only. |
 |
Step 3 - Floor Heating System InstallationStaple or glue the panels to the sub floor, install the floor sensor and apply a 1/8" layer of thinset or self leveling cement over top of the mesh. |
 |
Step 4 - Flooring InstallationFor a one step process, install the floor covering directly over the cement embedded system. Alternatively, allow the first layer to cure before installing the tile with a second layer of thinset for a two step process. The thinset cement should be latex modified, flex mortar, self-leveling, mastic or a similar variety. |
 |
Step 5 - Electrical Hook UpThe system can then be wired to the home electrical system and the thermostat installed in a standard 4"x 4" wall box by a licensed, certified electrician. Click here to return to our Do-It-Yourself installation page. |
