NTRODUCTION
Calorique’s Warm Floors System is a unique heating system that is
installed under the floor, between the joists, to provide either primary
or supplementary heat. Completely unseen, the Warm Floors heating
panel sets warm floor surfaces to about 85°F / 30°C for unparalleled
comfort.
Design, installation and use are straight-forward: start by designing
the system, then cut the heating panel sets to length, staple them into
position between the joists and complete the electrical connections.
There are four sections of this manual:
Part 1 - Design Criteria is to be used by the heating system designer. This
portion of the manual will generally be followed prior to ordering
material. The designs and drawings completed during this stage must
be made available to the installer(s).
Parts 2 - Job-Site Preparation, 3 - Installation and 4 - Inspection•Testing•
Completion will be used by the actual heating system installers. Job-Site
Preparation provides a complete list of the materials and supplies that
must be on hand during the installation and testing of the system.
Installation and Inspection•Testing•Completion detail the actual instal-
lation and testing of the system.
Throughout this manual four types of notes will direct your attention to
important information that must be taken into account during the
planning and installation of the Calorique Warm Floors System.
