How you can modify the mat

 

In order to fit your mat into a specific area, it may be necessary to cut and turn the mat (examples below).

NEVER cut the heating element. When cutting and flipping the mat take care not to cut or damage the heating cable.

Before installing the mat

Check mat size

Please take a moment to double-check that your plan has the proper room dimensions and that you have the 

correct size and proper number of mats. Mats should run backwards and forwards between walls and obstructions 

as shown in the examples. 

 

     

 

     

Depending on insulation, air-flow & overall heat-loss within the room, additional heating may be required.

Before Installation Test

Perform the first test following the steps described above to ensure that the mat has not been 

damaged during transport. Do not wire to a plug at this stage.

Note:

When laying two or

the coldtails reach the 

thermostat.
