10. Self-Levelling method
•
Position the mat as described in Point 9.
Attach the mat to the floor with adhesive
or double sided adhesive tape.
•
Test the MAGNUM Mat again with
a multimeter and write down the
readings on the inspection card. Take
measurements both between the
resistance wires and between the
resistance wire and the earth cladding.
•
First read the instructions of the self-
levelling mortar, check that the product
is suitable for floor heating and follow
the instructions of the manufacturer to
the letter.
•
The self-levelling effect must usually be
assisted somewhat using a squeegee.
Observe the drying time before applying
the floor covering.
•
Take the resistance readings of the mat
again.
•
Then apply a solid layer of flexible tile
adhesive taking care to avoid air bubbles
and use a plastic tile cement comb to
avoid damaging the MAGNUM Mat. (DO
NOT SPOT TILE!). Press down the tile with
a light sliding motion.
TAKE CARE: Do not apply more than 1 self
levelling layer. Please follow manufacturers
instructions.
