A. Indoor Installation of the Floor Temperature Control System
A. 1. Floor construction notes
We recommend to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the materials used (adhesive, levelling
material, insulation material, etc.). Generally, only flexible tile adhesives, levelling material, etc. suitable for
under-floor heating are to be used.
The heat transmission resistance of the floor construction above the heating cable should be as low as
possible.
In order to prevent heat and energy loss to the sub-floor and, therefore, to ensure optimum heating of the
floor covering, the under-floor design must incorporate state-of-the-art technology.
For optimum contact with the sub-floor we recommend applying a priming layer before installing the heating
cable.
Recommended products:
By way of providing typical examples, we offer below suggestions for the use of products supplied by the
manufacturers PCI Augsburg GmbH, Piccardstraße 11, 86159 Augsburg. Naturally, similar products supplied
by other manufacturers (e.g. Ardex, Knauf, etc) are equally suitable. However, please follow the instructions
provided by the individual suppliers.

Laying tiles and other ceramic floor products on a screed
Apply the adhesive (e.g. "PCI-FlexMortel") onto the screed using a 6-mm-toothed spatula. Embed
the heating element into the mortar with the heating cable underneath.. Apply more adhesive using a
10-mm-toothed spatula. Place the tiles or other ceramic floor material in position.

Laying natural stone products on the screed:
Proceed as described above but use, e.g. "PCI-Carraflex" as the adhesive.
Laying soft materials such as carpets, PVC, parquet blocks, etc. on the screed:
Apply the adhesive (e.g. "PCI-FlexMortel") onto the screed using a 6-mm-toothed spatula. Embed
the heating element into the mortar with the heating cable underneath. When this has hardened,
apply a universal filler mass such as PCI-USP32 in a layer which is at least 5 mm thick. When this
has hardened, the particular soft floor covering can be put in place using an adhesive (typically Textil-
Belagskleber(Textile-covering material adhesive) PCI-TKL315, PVC-Belagskleber (Covering material
adhesive) PCI-PKL324, Linoliumkleber (Linolium adhesive) PCI-LKL334, Korkkontaktkleber (Cork
contact adhesive) PCI-KKL347, Parkettkleber (Parquet Block adhesive) PCI-PAR354, etc.) - i.e.
adhesives specially prepared for the floor covering being used.

If it is necessary to level the floor because of surface irregularities:
we recommend the readily-flowing screed levelling material "PCI-Periplan" applied as a layer 4 - 5
mm thick. This can be followed by the laying activity using PCI-Flexmortel as described above.
mm thick. This can be followed by the laying activity using PCI-Flexmortel as described above.
For filling joins between tiles or other ceramic floor materials we recommend:
"PCI-Flexfuge". Finally, wall gaps and expansion joints can be filled with the elastic material "PCI-
Silcoferm-S"
Silcoferm-S"
For filling joins between natural stones we recommend:
"PCI-Carrafug" or "PCI-Carrafern"
Preliminary treatment required when laying upon a solid wooden floor base:
Remove all dust and other forms of soiling, close the cracks in the floor with "PCI-Adaptol" and apply
an adhesive primer such as "PCI-Flächengrund-404". When this has dried out apply a levelling
compound such as "PCI-Periplan". After this, too, has dried out the covering material may be applied
as described above. Under no circumstances may the heating elements be laid over movement joins.

Preliminary treatment required when laying upon a chipboard base:
Remove all dust and other contamination, prime with "PCI-Wadian" and allow to dry. Then proceed to
lay the selected floor covering as described above. The chipboard slabs must be at least 25 mm thick
and must be secured to the sub-floor by screws spaced no more than 40 cm apart.
Under no circumstances may the heating elements be laid over movement joins.
