Underfloor Heating for Under Wood/Laminate - Fitting Instructions
Carbon heating film - The perfect solution for heating wood or laminate floors.
Electrical Work
The electrical provision is made by your local electrician or installer - the photographs show the before & after with a solid wall, but hollow 'plasterboard' walls are usually less work.

Firstly the highly efficient 6mm Depron insulation is laid out & taped down over your existing sub floor. If possible 2 layers (12mm in total) are recommended in conservatories or un-insulated floors. The Depron effectively replaces the standard underlay required for wood & laminate 'floating floors' |

Next the carbon heating film is rolled out in accordance with the plan/drawing supplied with the kit |

Next small 'cut outs' are made in the Depron so that the cable connections sit 'flush' with the floor |

Then the floor sensor probe is fitted to measure the floor temperature |
|
|
|

Next the pre-connected cables are laid around the edge of the room to meet at the connection box point. |
|

The cables are then connected together at the junction box which connects to the thermostat & power |

Finally you are ready to lay out the plastic moisture sheet (supplied) & your new wood or laminate floor, paying attention to the manufacturers fitting instructions & recommended expansion gaps etc. |

As soon as the floor is fitted, you may turn on the heating system, no waiting or drying out time needed. |
