Living Heat Underfloor Carpet Heating.

 

Living heat offers several systems for use under carpet but only one that is suitable for use directly under carpet. (Living Heat ribbon heating). Please also see 'underfloor heating under all floor coverings' for other under carpet systems.

 

 

5: Sub floor (concrete or wood) must be suitable for the desired floor covering. Smooth and debris free.

4: Underfloor heating world 6mm soft thermal insulation should be laid over the sub floor and held in place with a suitable tape or contact adhesive in all areas where carpet is to be installed, (Not just under the heated area).

3: The ribbon underfloor heating heat mats should be laid out and fixed in place with their own self-adhesive backing. Care must be taken to make sure all mats do not overlap at any point. The connection tails on the mats should be run back to one location ready to either be installing into the thermostat or connected together to allow one single tail (One live and one neutral) to be taken up to the thermostat.

2: A open celled underlay (low tog) should be installed over the top of the heating in the normal way. Open celled (low tog) underlay will allow the heat to rise up through and into the room easily.

1: A good hessian backed carpet should be installed over the underlay and onto the gripper rods around the room in the normal way. Rubber backed carpets are not suitable for this type of heating.

Please note that care must be taken when installing the underlay and carpet to not cut or damage the mats or connection tails when cutting the underlay and carpet to size.
