Installation – for qualified contractors
8.1.2 Bathrooms and shower rooms
The heating mat must not be installed in areas where
sanitary equipment such as baths, showers, freestanding
WCs, etc. are to be installed.
8.1.3 Floor coverings
The heating mat is suitable for use with a range of floor
coverings, e.g. tiles, carpets, PVC or parquet.
Material losses
!
Only use floor coverings which are suitable for un-
derfloor heating systems.
Note that different floor coverings have different thermal
conductivity values according to their type and the thick-
ness of the material:
Floor covering Max. thickness
Tiles
Carpet
Parquet
PVC
Cork
8.1.4 Covering the floor
Additional floor coverings, e.g. carpets, may lead to higher
temperatures in the floor itself.
» Do not use floor coverings which are more than
10 mm thick.

8.2 Safety clearances

Material losses
!
Cupboards which cover the whole area must not be
placed on heated areas.
» Make sure that you leave a 60 cm wide unheated
edge area along the walls.
» Make sure that you observe a distance of at least
30 mm from all conductive materials.
Material losses
!
The heating conductors on heating mats installed in
parallel must not touch.
» Make sure that you observe a distance of at least
50 mm when installing heating mats in parallel.

8.3 Installation diagram
You must draw up an installation diagram before installing
the heating mat. See chapter "Sample installations" and
"Safety clearances" in this respect.
» Draw the position of the heating mats, the unheated
edge area, the temperature sensor and the cold lead
on the installation diagram.
8.3.1 Sample installations
8.3.2 Position of the temperature sensor
◦ The temperature sensor must be positioned directly
below the heating mat and approx. 100 mm from the
edge of the heating mat.
◦ The temperature sensor must be positioned halfway
between two heating conductor loops.
◦ The temperature sensor lead must not cross or touch
the heating conductor.
