How to Use This Manual
Before You Begin
The Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film mats are a unique floor heating system with anti-fracture membrane installed
under thin-set installations of tile, stone, and marble. Completely unseen, Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film combines
easy release liner installation with anti-fracture protection to provide warmth and comfort to tile, stone, and marble.
Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film is a safe and efficient electric floor warming product for interior applications. It
cannot be used for exterior snow melting applications. It is intended for installation below tile, stone, marble, and
other masonry flooring materials in residential and moderate commercial installations.
Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film can be used to heat a room as well as to warm the floors. Refer to “Heat Loss
Calculations” on page 4 for further information. Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film is designed to deliver 12 watts per
square foot. The floor temperature attainable is dependent upon how well the floor is insulated, the temperature
of the floor before start up, and in the case of uninsulated slab applications, the thermal transfer of the underlying
materials. Peel & Stick Radiant Heat Film ’s efficiency is maximized with a well insulated sub floor.
