SunTouch’s open-weave mesh TapeMat can be installed in one day. There’s no need to wait for mortar to cure overnight before laying tile. 
You can achieve warm floors in four easy steps. Simply urnroll and attach your mat(s) to the subfloor using the double-sided tape, secure the floor sensor (comes with all SunTouch thermostats), apply thin-set mortar, and install your flooring.

• Edged with double-sided tape for fast & easy installation that adheres directly to your subfloor. 
•  Mortar bonds easily through mesh with the underlying material. 
• Only 1/8" added floor thickness compared to typical tile installations 

The mesh can be cut and even removed entirely from a portion of the mat in order to fit spaces on site. Just leave the blue heating wire intact. It cannot be cut or shortened. Repair kits are available if the wire is accidently cut or knicked.

• Easily adjusted to accommodate curves, angles, and cut-outs 
• Can be trimmed & flipped to accommodate your layout (only along orange mesh)

Features:

• 7-day programming schedule
• Dual-voltage 120/240 VAC
• Built-in GFCI for safety
• Built-in 15-amp relay controls up to 150 sq. ft. (1800 watts) at 120 V, or 300 sq. ft. (3600 watts) at 240 V
• Floor and air sensing modes
• SmartStart Technology automatically adjusts the start time of the floor warming system to ensure the floor has reached the set temperature at your scheduled time
• Energy Use monitor  shows the hours of system operation

You can have peace of mind knowing that your floor heating sytem is in working order by testing the resistance of the heating elements before and after installing the floor over the mat by checking the resistance with a Digital Multi Meter.

Each cable has a UL tag on the powerlead with a resistance (Ohm) range printed on it. Set the Multi Meter to 200 Ohms (2k if the Ohm range is over 200) and test the colored power lead wires. Then test the colored wires against the copper ground wire to make sure there is no resistance on the ground. 

If the reading between the two colored wires is within the ohm range and there is no resistance on the ground wire, you know nothing has been damaged and that the system works.
