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 EFMA 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 resistance
