Timber floor. 

Existing timber floors must be clean, s ound and level. To achieve this it may be necessary to 
have a screw fixed overlayment of WBP (weather and boil proof)  plywood or marine board. 
 

Insulation. 

To ensure optimum perfor mance and minimise running costs  floor insulation such as 
Aquapanel, Celotex, Marmox or W edi Board should be laid directly under the heating cable.  
 
 

3) Marking out and other preparatory work. 

 
Having determined the size of the area to be heated, the heat level required and the electrical 
supply position form a channel in the floor adjacent to this point as  illustrated.
