Manual: Installing Foil Floor Heating

Follow these steps to correctly install your foil underfloor heating for optimal performance.

1. Plan and Design

• Determine which rooms you want to heat and where you place the thermostat.
• Check that you have the correct dimensions and specifications of the heating foil for each room.

2. Floor Preparation

• Clean the floor and make sure it is level and free from bumps.
• Remove old carpeting if necessary.

3. Lay Insulation Material

• Install a suitable insulation layer to limit heat loss downwards.
• For example, use an insulating subfloor or special insulation foil for underfloor heating.

4. Install the Heating Foil

• Roll out the heating foil according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Make sure the foil lies flat and does not overlap to prevent overheating.

5. Electrical Connection

• Connect the heating foil to the electricity grid according to the instructions.
• Have a qualified electrician make the connection because of the electrical wiring.

6. Test the System

• Test the operation of the heating before installing the floor covering.
• Check the resistance of the foil and measure the voltage with a multimeter according to the manufacturer's instructions.

7. Installing Floor Covering

• After a successful test, you can lay the floor covering (e.g. laminate, carpet, vinyl or tiles).
• Make sure that the floor covering is suitable for underfloor heating and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Please note: In some cases it is necessary to use a heat-permeable underlay before installing the final floor covering.

Follow these steps carefully to ensure a properly functioning and efficient underfloor heating system.
