Mapei Mapeheat Mesh 160

Mapeheat Mesh 160 is a self-adhesive, pre-wired, floor-heating mesh that can be adhered onto the subfloor during the layout. process. Its compatibility with all subfloor types and its low profile (4.5 mm) makes it ideal for renovation projects.

Mapeheat Mesh can be installed under ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone, laminate flooring, engineered wood. flooring and luxury vinyl flooring.

Mapeheat Mesh’s heating cable is attached to the self-adhesive mesh layer by three mesh bands. These bands help to maintain consistent spacing of the cable while allowing easy removal of the cable during installation in hard-to-reach. areas. Thanks to its twin coil design, the PVC-coated heating cable emits no measurable electromagnetic fields. Plus, the cable features a thin mechanical splice and a thin, flexible, 13.05m cold lead that is easy to embed in the subfloor and route. to the thermostat’s location.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

FLOOR CONSTRUCTION

All material in the floor construction should be appropriate for underfloor heating. Mapeheat Mesh can be installed on top of different kind of subfloors:

Or any type of solid, stable, and non-combustible material.

 RECOMMENDATIONS

• Do not install beneath carpet, linoleum, solid hardwood, rubber, or parquet. Install only beneath flooring types that are approved in the Technical Data Sheet.
• Do not use in exterior applications.
• Do not install in, on or under walls or inside closets.
• Do not use sharp tools or power tools to clean grout lines.
• The heating wire cannot be overlapped, crossed, cut, shortened, or modified.
• The sheath of this device should not be utilized as a grounding conductor but must be bonded to the ground.
• The total combined R-value of all floors covering layers installed over Mapeheat Mesh must not exceed R-1.5.
• Do not cover expansion joints. Do not use over cracks or movement joints subject to out-of-plane movement, or where in-plane movement exists greater than 3 mm.
• Do not use over substrates containing asbestos, plank wood flooring, presswood, particleboard, chipboard, pressure- or oil-treated plywood, Lauan, Masonite, self-stick tile, laminate, metal, fiberglass or similar dimensionally unstable materials.
• Do not use for submerged applications or for floors subject to standing water.
• Do not use on bituminous substrates.
• Do not use on highly flammable material.

 SUITABLE SUBSTRATES

• Tile adhesives or levelling/smoothing compounds.
• Cement backer boards – see manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
