Recommended build-up of floor surface components:
It is always essential to follow the Instructions for Use provided by the manufacturer of the building materials
used (adhesive, levelling compound, insulating material). Do not lay any heating elements underneath baths
or shower bases - or in areas which will be directly covered by furniture or built-in units.

Base surface:
The base surface must be solid, undeformable, clean, free from cracks and any materials which impede
adhesion. It must also be able to carry superimposed loads. If a new screed is to be applied (cement or
anhydrite) the nature of its surface must be examined. If in poor condition the surface must be ground down,
vacuum cleaned and then primed. In this event pay careful attention to the recommendations of the
suppliers of the materials used.

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.
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.
