Our 3 top installation tips

Technical

Quick installation

Screed cables can be staples directly to foam faced insulation ready for screeding over.

Cable Protection

Protection

Protect the cold tail and floor sensor connection cables during screeding in a section of vertical pipe that is longer than the screed depth.

Maintenance

Preparation

Always mark out final wall, door and permanent furniture positions before laying the heating cable, as heating cable should not be laid in these areas.
