Installation Guide

Step Turn
Cut and remove the amount of Fiberglass
Mesh indicated in the circle and then
make a U Turn. The released Heating
Element is then placed in a free form
manner in the stepped gap. (See Free
Form this section) This is the most popular
way to do a step turn because it keeps the
Heating Element under the Fiberglass
Mesh offering some protection during oor
covering installation.
Step Turn with Flip Over
Cut and remove the amount of Fiberglass
Mesh indicated in the circle and make
a 180° ip turn. The released Heating
Element is placed in a free form manner in
the stepped gap. (See Free Form) Some
installations will require a Heating Panel
to be placed with the wires facing up.
We recommend that at the next turn the
panel should be ipped over so that the
Fiberglass Mesh sits on top of the Heating
Element.
Working
around Obstacles
Special circumstances will require the
Heating Element to circumvent an
obstacle. The released Heating Element
is not needed to ll an area but to simply
continue the circuit.
Experience is the Key
As you begin to work with the Heating
Panels, you will become more comfortable
with the product. The ultimate goal is to
keep even spacing of the Heating Element
and the integrity of the electrical circuit.
Cut and remove the amount of Fiberglass
Mesh indicated in the circle.
When using the double-sided tape on the
“wire side” of the roll to help secure the roll
to the oor, be sure to separate the paper
backing from the tape. If care is not taken
when trying to expose the sticky side of
the tape, the tape will pull off along with
the backing, allowing the cables to fall
off of the mat. Use a nger nail to help
separate the backing from the tape itself.
