Underfloor Heating for Under Wood/Laminate - Fitting Instructions

New On-line Instalation Video

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.


 
DIY Installation
1

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'

 
       
2

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

 
 

 

   
3 Next small 'cut outs' are made in the Depron so that the cable connections sit 'flush' with the floor  
       
4

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

 
       
5

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

 
       
6

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

 
       
7

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.

 
       
8

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