The mat can be laid in several ways, as illustrated in diagram below:
PLEASE NOTE: Heating will only occur
where the mat has been installed.

If the mat is too long the cable can be cut loose
from the fibre netting and installed in loose strips.
The loose cables must be looped at least 40mm
from each other. They must not touch or cross each
other. See section 3.3 above.
Please note that where there is no matting installed
the floor will not be heated.
The sensor must be installed in the middle of a
cable loop for optimal temperature registration.
Ensure that the sensor is installed well clear (min.
500mm) of hidden radiator and water pipes, drains
and electrical wiring.
The mat must never be installed under fixed
objects like wall units, kitchen units, baths, or
showers and must be able to give off its warmth
without being obstructed.

Never cut the heating cable.
