Fitting your new Devimat™ step-by-step

Fitting Devimat™ is simple to do by yourself, should you choose to. However, please note that all electrical connections must always be carried out by a qualified electrician.

A step-by-step procedure is provided below to make it as easy as possible for you.
Step 1
Start by measuring the area you want your floor heating. This way you can determine which size of Devimat™ you need. Always select a Devimat™ package that is slightly smaller than the floor area.  
Step 2
Mark the positioning of the toilet before you remove it. This helps you avoid placing the toilet on top of the mat -and prevents you from piercing it with screws.
Step 3
Cut a 10 mm wide groove into the floor and wall, from the thermostat and about 1 me out into the floor, for the floor sensor and tube. Glue the tube housing the floor sensor into the channel and seal the end of the pipe with duct tape.
Step 4
Before laying the self-adhesive mat, your existing floor should be clean and dry and primed if necessary. Once the mat has been tested, it can be rolled out and laid on the floor.
Step 5
Roll out the mat. When reaching the end, simply cut the mesh, turn the mat and lay the next lane close to the first first one. The red heating cable must NOT be cut. Th emat can withstand 3-5 adjustments as long s you do not press the mat to the floor.
Step 6
When you are satisfied with the result, press the mat to the floor. Devimat™ will now adhere firmly to the surface
Step 7
Cover with one layer of flexible tile adhesive/selv-levelling compound and allow it to dry before tiling or lay the adhesive and tiles in one operation. A flexible adhesive and grout should always be used.
Step 8
Mount the new tiles on the adhesive. Joint the tiles and let the floor dry for two weeks before turning on the heating.
