How To Install ThermoFilm Heating Mats
This overview does not substitute for a full reading of the Installation Manual.
The below steps will take you from beginning to end simply, but please refer to the full Installation Manual or call us to go over a more detailed installation plan.
ThermoFilm Mats are an easy way to add heat to any floating floor, and can even work for almost any other type of floor covering when embedded in cement!
Before beginning your installation:
- Ensure that you have a structurally sound subfloor
1Make sure you have the right amount of material
- The mats should cover the entire floor space.
- Follow heating mats spacing from walls according to the manual.
- Heating elements should be in areas where you can walk, stand, or want to heat. See your manual for areas to avoid heating.
- Contact support if you have any questions prior to your installation.
2Prepare conduits and electrical boxes for thermostat installation later.
- Complete electrical rough-in
- This step may be done after cable is laid but is more difficult to do later as location of thermostat may change location of heating system.
3Install moisture barrier and underlayment on the subfloor.
- Moisture barrier should go down first, then underlayment.
- Moisture barrier should overlap 4-6 inches onto the next sheet.
- Duct tape underlayment pads to each other along seams to keep in place.
4Roll out your radiant floor warming film and arrange to fit your heated area. Tape seams of film rows.
- Make sure to roll the heating mat out with stickers facing the ceiling.
- Duct tape the mat seams together, paying attention not to cover the heating element.
5Install floor temperature sensor and run lead wires from the end of each film to the electrical junction box.
- Highly recommended to install a backup sensor.
- Position sensor evenly between 2 heating mats.
- Do not cross the heating mats.
6Cover film with vapor barrier.
- Moisture barrier should overlap 4-6 inches onto the next sheet.
- Use adhesive strips to secure sheets onto each other.
7Install floor covering following floor manufacturer's instructions.
- For wall-to-wall carpet, carpet tile, and vinyl, install fiberboard over ThermoFilm.
