Application

The Warmup DCM-PRO System is designed for use over a subfloor prepared for tiling. The system can be used as a waterproofing layer through the addition of the DCM-PRO waterproofing tape, for installations such as wetrooms or where there will be significant exposure to water.

Description

The electric underfloor heating mat has a strong self-adhesive layer to secure it directly to Warmup insulation boards. Alternatively, it can be affixed to a clean dry subfloor, which has been primed using a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) primer (ratio 1:4). The mat is available in 1 m² sheets or 15 x 1 m rolls, which makes installation quick and easy whilst ensuring precision is maintained. The mat can be easily trimmed using a utility knife.


The 4.5 mm multi-strand, dual-core heating cable, is insulated with an advanced fluoropolymer making it exceptionally tough and easy to tile over. It is easily clipped into the DCM-PRO mat by gently pressing it in between the castellations. The cable can be spaced at 60 mm, 90 mm and 120 mm depending on power requirements.


System build-up:

  • Floor finish.
  • Tile adhesive or levelling compound.
  • Warmup DCM-PRO mat.
  • Warmup DCM-PRO cable.
  • Warmup coated insulation board.
  • Flexible tile adhesive.
  • Subfloor.


Features and benefits:

  • 4.5 mm multi-strand, dual-core heating cable with an advanced fluoropolymer inner insulation making it exceptionally tough and easy to tile over.
  • Patented self-healing decoupling layer is proven to protect tiled floors from cracking.
  • Reduced installation costs, by comparison to similar products.
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive securely binds the mats to the floor keeping them flat for fast and secure installation.
  • BEAB Approved and CE marked meeting the highest safety standards for ultimate peace of mind.
  • Can use the 4iE Smart WiFi thermostat (see separate product).
  • Lifetime warranty and SafetyNet installation guarantee.
