How should Mapeheat Membrane be installed into the subfloor assembly below the floor coverings?

Installation of Mapeheat Membrane below luxury vinyl flooring follows the same installation method as engineered and laminate floors: First, embed the floor-heating system within cementitious material, ensuring in 1/4" (6 mm) of coverage above the heating system. Either a mortar or self-leveling compound can be used, but achieving the desired flatness is easiest with a self-leveling underlayment. Proceed with installing the floor covering on top, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
