4.2 Preparing the Subfloor

– Clean and remove any debris, or protruding objects that could damage the

heating cable;

– Subfloor cracks must be filled with polyester wood filler (only for self-leveller);

– The subfloor must be solidly fastened in place to prevent movement;

– The application of a floor levelling product is recommended to prevent future

damage to the ceramic caused by subfloor movement;

– For concrete subfloors, apply a surface sealer that is compatible with electrical

heating systems in accordance with the cement glue manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. Completely coat the surface;

– Let dry before installing the Therma Cable system (refer to the sealer’s instruc-

tions for drying time).

stationary elements;

Ouellet Canada Inc. strongly recommended to install two temperature sensors

installed between the spires of the heating cable and at a distance of 306 mm
(12’’) from each other. Note that only one sensor is connected to the thermostat,
