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.
In order to access all the wireless features of the Mapeheat Thermo Connect thermostat, you must first connect it to your WiFi network by going into “Settings --> WiFi Settings” and completing the WiFi setup. Once the thermostat is connected to your WiFi network, you will be asked for an email address to begin the setup for your MyMapeheat.com account. An email with an activation link and instructions will be sent to that email address. After your MyMapeheat.com account is set up, you can control your Mapeheat Thermo Connect thermostat via MyMapeheat.com or download the Mapeheat Thermo Connect app from the App Store or Google Play.
No, only one sensor is to be connected to the thermostat. We do recommend installing a second sensor in the floor and running its wires into the junction box, but not connected to the thermostat. The spare sensor is necessary in case of failure of the first sensor.
Yes, you can install any form of carpet tile using Ultrabond ECO 379.
There are a few great reasons why applying a flooring adhesive with a paint roller is a good idea. The first, and probably the most obvious, is that you get to apply the flooring adhesive from a standing position. It's no longer necessary to crawl across the floor on your hands and knees when you can stand up and apply using a roller. Another advantage is that your coverage will increase on a per-gallon basis. Roller-applied adhesives typically are applied rather thinly, which extends the coverage by as much as 50% – a real savings on a per-square-foot basis. Yet another advantage to applying adhesive with a roller is that the drying time is much faster than with traditional trowel applications. Being that it is applied in a thin coat, the adhesive flashes off quickly, allowing for flooring installation much faster than with traditional methods.
Before applying adhesive with a roller, it is crucial to ensure that the substrate is extremely clean. When you are standing to apply the adhesive with a roller, you may not see grains of dirt or other debris that you might otherwise have noticed with a trowel application. It is always a good idea to vacuum the floor with a high-quality vacuum system before application. In addition, make sure that your floor is flat (as opposed to smooth). Roller-applied adhesives go down very thinly, so any substrate defect left on the floor is probably going to show through. We recommend using a MAPEI self-leveling compound before installing Ultrabond ECO 379 to ensure a flat, porous substrate on which to work.

You can install more than one Mapeheat Mat or Mapeheat Cable to a thermostat, provided that the total draw does not exceed 15 amps. The thermostat typically holds up to 3 or 4 sets of leads before fitting the lead wires into the terminals becomes difficult.
MAPEI is committed to offering a wide range of products designed to provide solutions for every problem. While one-component synthetic turf adhesives are easier to use, they are not always the best option as they cure/set much slower when the air is cold or dry. In contrast, MAPEI’s two-component synthetic turf adhesives use a catalyst system to ensure that they cure quickly and predictably even in harsh conditions.
MAPEI’s landscape turf products were designed exclusively for the installer for easier, more budget-friendly applications. MAPEI’s sports turf products are designed to create the strongest and best-performing installations in the industry and are engineered to provide world-class performance.
