The Rayoflex foil cable heating mat is not suitable for any floor that is to be glued down or with the use of latex based
self-levelling compounds. For these floor types, please use the Webtech Cable Heating system.
Basic Installation Method
- Prepare sub-floor by removing all dust and debris.
- Fix insulation to the sub-floor using a double sided tape. Ensure that the whole surface is covered.
- Once the insulation is fixed, unroll and correctly position the Rayoflex Mats.
- Every time the mat is cut and turned, close the gap between the mat and cover the cable with the foil tape provided.
- Cut a small groove into the insulation so the cold cable connectors lay flush and run them back to the thermostat.
- Lay the thermostat floor sensor in the conduit and place between mat turns.
- Re-test the mats to ensure none have been damaged during installation.
- With the system turned off, either lay the wood flooring or the carpet underlay and carpet.
