BASE MATERIAL
STEP 2.5
Prepare the site that you want to heat with ProMelt Mat/Cable. This includes making sure all utilities and obstructions
are accounted for.
STEP 2.6
General
Ensure the base is a smooth, well-compacted and solid base. If the mat/cable is to be placed on existing slab, inspect
it for any sharp or loose objects, or other potentially damaging issues.
Ensure proper slope and drainage to avoid water buildup in any heated or surrounding areas. This is especially
important for brick paver applications, as melted water may re-freeze and heave surrounding sand and paver areas.
Follow local building codes and construction guidelines for grade requirements and slab thickness in your area.
Ensure that the base is at the proper height to allow the total slab thickness needed and that the cable will be
embedded at the proper distance below the top surface to avoid damaging the cable. It is very important for the
cable to be completely embedded.
STEP 2.7
Concrete Application
For a new pour, attach reinforcement, such as wire mesh or rebar, over the base at the required level below the top
surface. You must use "chairs" or other appropriate objects to raise the wire mesh to the correct level. The ProMelt
Mat/Cable will be attached to this reinforcement later. It is very important for the cable to be completely embedded
in concrete.
Protect or remove sharp protrusions by bending them over, capping, or cutting. Sharp edges may damage the
heating cable.
STEP 2.8
Asphalt Application
Apply a first course over the gravel base and compact it. The ProMelt Mat/Cable will be secured to the top of this
later. Allow it to cool enough to work on before installing ProMelt Mat/Cable.
