Installation of the Amorphous Metal underfloor heating system is simple and straightforward - simply follow the installation guide that comes with the system.
Heat mats operate at 150 watts per m2. Take each heat mat out of their packaging, lay them flat and allow them to acclimatise for several hours before fitting. Safely running power through each heat mat for 20-30 minutes prior to fitting will help the mats "relax" and sit flat on the base floor. Any tile adhesives used should completely cover the area - do not "dot & dab" as this will leave air pockets under the floor and will compromise the effectiveness of the heating system. Below are diagrams showing typical build-up using different floor coverings. For more information please call or email us.
Installations in bathrooms, kitchens, en-suites and any area with natural slate floor covering require grounding nets to be laid between the heat mat and the floor covering. This is a fine wire mesh 0.35mm thick connected to earth. The diagrams below show a typical build-up. In installations with a vinyl or LVT floor covering, solid board insulation is required with a minimum of 6mm self-levelling screed above the heat mat. This provides a secure & level surface upon which the vinyl flooring can be laid.
