Firstly mark out the floor as previously described. 

 
Using the main kit cable (2000watts) run this out from  the termination point to the opposite 
end of the room and lay at 7cm spacings (12.5m2 c overage) back towards the control point. 
Check that remaining floor area will accommodate the additional 950watt cable (5.9m2 
coverage). Lay the additional cable and if necessary adjust the spacing to achieve full floor 
coverage. (The thermostat sensor m ust be positioned centrally between cable loops). 
 

Tiling the floor.  
 

Once the cables are laid suitable protection boards / old carpet must be provided to avoid 
damage during tiling. 
Tile adhesive can be laid in either a single or a two layer operation depending on the tiler’s 
preference to accommodate the 3m m cable thickness. The adhesive must be laid evenly in 
the same direction as the cables are running mak ing sure there are no air spaces. 
 

The following table of products are suitable for use with a Flexel Ecofloor underfloor 
heating system. Refer to the additional requ irements when using Depron underlay 
insulation and for further information and advice contact the Flexel technical 
department.
