Suitable wall Coverings
The Warmup heating panels are designed to be installed behind ceramic or natural
stone tiles.
Adhesive and Grout
The tile adhesive and grout must include an additive for flexibility and be suitable
for use with underfloor heating. Refer to the adhesive manufacture’s instructions
for usage. 2 part flexible adhesive is best.
Tiling Over the Heating Panel
In order to make tiling over the heating panels easier the wall heating panel
should be tiled over using a Two-Step Method:
1. Completely cover the heating panel with a 10mm layer of flexible adhesive and
allow this level to dry.
2. Apply another layer of flexible adhesive and tile as normal.
It is important that each tile is solidly bedded in adhesive, with no air gaps or voids
beneath. Do not allow the trowel to make contact with the heating wire while
applying the adhesive.
If a tile has been positioned incorrectly, take
great care not to damage the heating wire when
lifting. Remember that tiles must not be lifted
once the adhesive is dry, as this may damage the
heating wire.
It is important to test the resistance of the
heating panel regularly during the tiling process.
If at any time you damage the cable stop tiling
immediately and contact the Warmup Technical
helpline on 0845 345 2288 for further assistance.
