2
Fix Palziv insulation to the sub-floor using a suitable adhesive spray. Ensure that the whole surface is covered.

Once the insulation is fixed, unroll and correctly position the Rayoflex Mats.

4
Every time the mat is cut and turned, close the gap between the mat and cover the cable with the foil tape provided.
