Installation Procedure for Electric Radiant Floor Heating

The installation procedure must follow the requirements of the Technical Prescription File (CPT PRE) in effect and the Technical Opinion issued by CSTB. The process is divided into 6 phases:

1/ Floor Preparation

Step 1: Verify Floor Flatness

Intervention: Chapiste

Rule: The floor must be cleared of debris and materials before laying insulation. Overall flatness within a 2m rule should be ≤ 7 mm. Local flatness within a 0.2m gauge should be ≤ 2 mm. Level difference with the reference plane should be < 3 mm/m, not exceeding 2 cm. If flatness is not met, proceed with a leveling compound or floor repair mortar.

Caution: Plumbing must be integrated into the support.

Materials: 2m mason's rule, 20cm gauge.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

Step 2: Lay Polyethylene Film

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: For ground slabs, floors above crawl spaces or unheated rooms, or on any leveling compound, a 200 µm polyethylene film must be laid. It prevents water transfer.

Caution: Overlap of the sheets must be at least 10 cm. The floor support must have been completed more than 1 month prior (2 weeks for ground slabs).

Materials: 200 µm thick polyethylene film.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

Step 3: Lay Perimeter Joint

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: A perimeter joint must be installed around the room, above the floor support. It absorbs screed expansion against partitions.

Caution: The joint must extend at least 2 cm above the finished floor level (including floor covering) before being trimmed by the floor covering installer. The floor support must have been completed more than 1 month prior (2 weeks for ground slabs).

Materials: Minimum 5 mm thick joint (approx. 150 mm high). Length should match the room perimeter.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

2/ Thermal Insulation

Step 4: Lay Insulation Panels

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: Insulation panel requirements vary based on dwelling type, insulation quality, and number of layers. Refer to CPT PRE. For mineral wool, also refer to CPT PRE. Insulation panels ensure continuity of insulation and prevent air gaps.

Caution: Check insulation panel flatness; their deflection must be strictly < 4 mm/m. No pipes or conduits are allowed within the insulation. The support must be free of debris.

Materials: 2m rule. High-density expanded polystyrene panels (or extruded polystyrene or rigid polyurethane foam panels): SCI class (a or b) with 5 cm thickness, or locally > 4 cm (for individual houses).

Material (cont.): Total thermal resistance (specific insulation + thermal insulation panels) must be ≥:

• 1 m².K/W if the supporting floor is in contact with a heated room.
• 2.20 m².K/W if the supporting floor is in contact with a crawl space, unheated room, or ground slab, with no specific insulation.
• 2.50 m².K/W if the supporting floor is in contact with the exterior, with no specific insulation.
• 1 m².K/W if the supporting floor is in contact with a crawl space, unheated room, or ground slab, with specific insulation ensuring a total thermal resistance of at least 2.20 m².K/W.
• 1 m².K/W if the supporting floor is in contact with the exterior, with specific insulation ensuring a total thermal resistance of at least 2.50 m².K/W.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect. Insulation panels must comply with standard NF DTU 26.2 / 52.1.

Step 5: Ensure Insulation Watertightness

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: Two solutions: seal joints between panels with adhesive tape (for alveolar plastic panels) or lay a polyethylene film over the entire floor surface, extending 2 cm up the walls (after screed pouring over insulation). This prevents the screed from penetrating under the insulation.

Caution: Overlap of sheets must be at least 15 cm.

Materials: Minimum 5 cm wide adhesive tape or 200 µm watertight polyethylene film.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

3/ Installation of the Mat

Step 6: Unroll Mats on Insulation

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: Unroll PRE mats on the insulation according to the layout plan, covering most of the surface. Fix the plastic mesh to the insulation using the provided clips. The new clip design allows fixing loops directly into the insulation without overheating.

Caution: Keep PRE mats at least 100 mm from interior walls/partitions and 200 mm from exterior walls. PRE mats and cold leads must not cross expansion joints. Return mats by cutting the plastic mesh only. Use cutting tools carefully to avoid damaging the cable. Photograph installed mats for easy identification in case of issues. Provide these photos and the actual installation plan to the site supervisor.

Mise en garde: Do not shorten the PRE mat if it is too long. If cutting the plastic mesh is necessary for cable placement (narrow passage, corner), do not detach the cable from the mesh, do not cut the cable, and maintain the initial spiral spacing (17 cm).

Materials: Layout plan, PRE mats, fixing clips, camera.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

Step 7: Make Electrical Connection

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: Connect the cold lead to a junction box, then to the power circuit and thermostat. For mats up to 2200W, direct connection of the cold lead to the thermostat is permitted. The cold lead can be shortened.

Caution: The cold lead must be embeddable in the screed for at least 50 cm. Do not overlap the cold lead with the PRE mat; contour around it. Photograph connection points for troubleshooting.

Materials: Junction boxes, ICD or ICT conduit (for cold lead passage in partitions).

Standards: Electrical connection compliant with NFC 15-100, CPT PRE in effect.

Step 8: Perform Electrical Checks and Verifications

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: Checks BEFORE covering the mats:

• Electrical insulation of heating cable conductors (must be ≥ 0.5 MOhms at 500V DC).
• Electrical insulation of the shielding braid (≥ 0.5 MOhms at 500V DC).
• Continuity of conductors (resistance value).

Record values on the 2 warranty forms. If any of these checks fail, contact after-sales service for replacement. Other localized defects (e.g., cable sheath damage) may allow installation to proceed, but must be documented and marked on the layout plan for provisional repair with an insulation square.

Materials: Standard electrical testing equipment (Multimeter, Megohmmeter...).

Standards: Verification according to chapter 61 of NFC 15-100, CPT PRE in effect.

4/ Screed Pouring

Step 9: Lay Welded Metal Mesh (Not applicable for liquid screed)

Intervention: Chapiste

Rule: A welded metal mesh reinforcement must be incorporated into the screed mortar at mid-thickness of the screed. Grounding the metal mesh is mandatory.

Caution: When cutting metal mesh, do not cut the heating cable.

Materials: Standard characteristics: wires diameter > 1.4 mm and mesh < 50 mm (650 g/m²) OR wires diameter > 3 mm and mesh < 100 mm (1000 g/m²), associated with a perimeter chain of 3 x Ø 8 mm Fe 500 Ha reinforcing bars.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

Step 10: Cover PRE Mats

Intervention: Chapiste / Electrician

Rule: PRE mats are embedded in a concrete slab or mortar screed of 5 to 6 cm thickness. Electrical checks from Step 8 must be re-performed DURING screed pouring, and values recorded on the warranty forms. The "ATTENTION" sticker must be clearly displayed for other trades.

Caution: Use of rabbit sand, washed sea sand, or dune sand is prohibited. No pipes or conduits within the screed are allowed. Use of fiber-reinforced screeds is prohibited, except for metal fibers with a favorable Technical Opinion.

Materials: Screed dosage:

• For glued floor covering: mortar classified at least C20/F4 or site-mixed mortar with 300 ±50 kg cement per m³ of dry sand, or ready-mix concrete classified at least C20/25.
• For dry-set floor covering: dry-set mortar with 225 ±50 kg cement per m³ of dry sand.

Aggregate size: 16 mm for concrete, 5 mm for mortar. "ATTENTION" sticker.

Standards: Compliance with:

• NF DTU 26.2 for concrete or mortar.
• NF EN 206-1 for ready-mix concrete.
• NF DTU 52.1 for dry-set mortar.
• NF EN 13813 for cement-based fluid screed mortar.
• CPT PRE in effect.

Step 11: Perform Electrical Checks and Verifications

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: Checks AFTER covering the mats:

• Electrical insulation of heating cable conductors (must be ≥ 0.5 MOhms at 500V DC).
• Electrical insulation of the shielding braid (≥ 0.5 MOhms at 500V DC).
• Continuity of conductors (resistance value).

Record values on the 2 warranty forms. Completed forms must be kept by the electrician and site supervisor. The round sticker must be affixed to the dwelling's electrical panel.

Caution: Take precautions during verification and testing to avoid danger to persons and damage to property and installed equipment.

Materials: Standard electrical testing equipment (multimeter, Megohmmeter...), round sticker.

Standards: Verification according to chapter 61 of NFC 15-100, CPT PRE in effect.

5/ Initial Heating

Step 12: Initial Heating

Intervention: Electrician

Rule: The digital thermostat allows automated initial heating after professional commissioning. The cycle starts with the thermostat activating the heating for 2 hours on the first day, then repeating daily for 22 days with an additional hour each day. Refer to specific procedures based on floor covering type.

Caution: For self-leveling or self-leveling fluid screeds, early heating may be possible; follow the screed's Technical Opinion. This operation can only begin:

• 3 weeks after covering and before installing the floor covering for glued coverings.
• 1 month after installing the floor covering for dry-set coverings.

Inform the floor covering installation company about this initial heating.

Materials: Room thermostat.

Standards: CPT PRE in effect.

6/ Floor Covering Installation

Step 13: Install Floor Covering

Intervention: Tiler

Rule: Authorized coverings include ceramic tiles, marble mosaic tiles, natural stone tiles (limestone and marble, granite), plastic or textile coverings, and glued or floating parquet (proven compliant with CPT). Coverings not having a favorable Technical Opinion (risk of excessive thermal resistance) are not authorized.

Caution: Installation should not be done on a heating floor that is currently active (heating off at least 48 hours prior). Re-heating should not occur less than 1 week after installing glued or floating parquet, or 48 hours after for other coverings. Keep some floor covering elements for future repairs.

Materials: Standard installation materials with a favorable Technical Opinion, ATEX, or CSTBât C2S performance class.

Standards: Used coverings must have a favorable CSTB Technical Opinion. Compliance with:

• NF DTU 51.2 for glued parquet.
• NF DTU 51.11 for floating parquet.
• NF DTU 53.1 for textiles.
• NF DTU 53 for PVC.

Precautions for Use of the Electric Radiant Floor Heating

To Avoid Thermal Blocking:

Proper functioning requires unobstructed heat emission. Avoid placing heavy items directly on the floor (thick mattresses, large furniture without legs) as this can cause abnormal temperature increases, leading to damage like tile cracking, or reduced heating performance, especially in cold periods.

ATTENTION: Do not pierce screeds or partitions near connection boxes or thermostat connections. Maintain at least 3 cm of free space between furniture and the floor.

To Avoid Damaging Heating Elements:

Avoid any intervention like drilling or sealing that could damage the heating elements (e.g., drilling for door stops, installing a chimney). This information is displayed on a sticker near the control devices.

To Facilitate Future Interventions:

Keep:

• Installation plans of the heating elements.
• Extra floor covering for repairs.

To Use the Electric Radiant Floor Heating Regulation:

Refer to the thermostat manual.
