4.6 Applying Self-Levelling Cement
Measure the cable’s electrical and insulation resistance and record
the readings on line 3) Before embedding the heating cable in self-
levelling cement of the measures’ table.
- Consult the manufacturer’s instruction for the type of floor covering (ceramic,
linoleum, or other). See Section 7, Expert Tips;
- Completely embed the heating cable in self-levelling cement (fig. 4.6). It is
crucial that the ENTIRE cable be embedded. No part of the cable must be
exposed;
- Level the subfloor with self-levelling cement or cover the cable with a layer of
cement glue when installing the stones or ceramics.
Do not turn on the Thermat floor heating system before the cement
has completely dried. Follow the manufacturer recommandations (may take
up to 30 days, depending on the product).
Once the cement or binder has dried, measure the cable’s electrical resis -
tance and record readings on line 4) After embedding the heating cable in
cement of the measures’ table.
