Installation should be performed in accordance with local electrical regulations. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before rolling out the mat. Always verify that the carpet or vinyl flooring you intend to use is rated as compatible with electric underfloor heating systems, as high temperatures can damage certain adhesives or backings. For care, avoid drilling into the floor or using heavy, sharp-legged furniture that could compress the mat continuously in one specific area. It is recommended to test the resistance of the mat with a multimeter before and after installation to ensure the integrity of the heating cable.
