- Determine if access is available from below, if not access panels will be require to run pipes back to manifold locations. Refer to manual.
- Lay the first ThermoDeck panel into a corner of the room, leaving a minimum 10mm gap between the edge of the panel and the walls. The two groove edges of the panel should be placed in the corner. the opposite end of the panel must sit on the centre line of a joist. Continue the ThermoDeck panels in a run, ensuring the end of each panel falls on a centre line of a joist. Use the off cut of each run to start the following run of panels.
- ThermoDeck panels must be glued with wood glue adhesive on both the tongue and groove and fully driven together along with fixing to joisted floor.
- Before laying the underfloor heating pipe work, it is advised to clean the floor area of debris that may have fallen into the channels. If provided refer to the supplied pipe diagram and begin to lay the underfloor heating pipework into the ThermoDeck panel.
- A minimum of 6mm flooring grade ply or cement board is laid in the opposite direction of the ThermoDeck panels and is screwed down to complete the structural substrate ensuring pipe runs are mark to prevent any damages.
