How to install the Klima electric underfloor heating mat installation video. Any issues? or questions, please call our technical support line on 01887 822020
Hi there, the mats can use either self leveling compound or tile adhesive but you would need to lay about 6mm in tile adhesive before hand and then roll the mat with the cable facing down the way and then apply another 4mm of tile adhesive on top.
I would be very apprehensive about sealing this underfloor heating with levelling compound. The thought of it failing and having to remove all that makes me shudder. Heating elements do fail even if all seems good after installation.
Hi there, when installing the Klima underfloor heating mat we recommend to do a ohms resistance test, before you laid the mat , when you rolled the mat out and finally when the tiles have been laid. If for example the mat has become damaged during installation, it can be identified to the tile where the damage has been done and then the single tile is lifted and the repair can be performed and allow for you to reuse the underfloor heating system (Please note with the repair being done it will void the manufacturer warranty)
I noticed that in this case the element/matting has been fixed directly to plywood. This to me seems a better way of doing it than having the insulation panels underneath. Would you advised to do it directly on wood? I am going to use Wood effect ceramic tiles for finished surface.
We always recommended a insulated subfloor , hence why as the 1st option we recommend thermal boards to be used. But potentially you can use the mat system on top of plywood it would just need to be covered in a self levelling compound.
Hi there, there is no maximum amount of screed/self leveling compound to be poured over the top of the mat but the average amount of compound poured of tile adhesive and self leveling compound and tile on top is 20mm - 25mm amount of compound. We highly recommend if your going 20mm or thicker then ensure the floor is well insulated and the more amount of compound poured the longer the heat will take to penetrate through.
Do you have to use a self level compound or can you put tile adhesive and tile straight on to the mat. The floor has already been leveled and is going to have insulation cement boards
Hi there , it can be done both ways. Please refer to this hyperlink www.klima.co.uk/heating-mat , then go to the installation section to look at the instruction booklet
Do yo need some iron nesh for stability when installing on wooden floor?
Do you need to use levelling compound or can you just adhesive directly onto mats?

What’s the maximum level of screed if you’re putting this into a new extension

Hello, can we put this on top of plyboard and then cover the heating wires with a Mapetex Membrane on top and then we're tiling on to the membrane?
