sleepers are installed to create lanes into which the 18" wide
warming system roll will be placed.

Lay the floor heating system into the 19" lanes created by the
sleepers, carefully stringing the power leads alongside the
system within the lane and back to the power supply.

Once the self leveling cement has dried and cured to the
manufacturer's specifications the hardwood floor can be
installed by nailing it into the wood sleepers. Be careful not to
place nails or staples near to the system's heating cable or
power leads.
