TradeMat Plus: The easy to install, repositional heating mat
Our new TradeMat Plus is incredibly well made and boasts a unique installation advantage; ‘Tack n Stick’ adhesive backing. The complete underside of the mat has a tacky adhesive. This enables you to accurately position (and re- position) the mat before cutting, without the risk of movement. The underside also incorporates tape strips, which, when removed, expose
three strips of adhesive tape. This powerful adhesive then holds the mat in the final installed position ready for tiling. You will have no ends sticking up with this mat!
Mats are 500mm wide and when the mesh is cut, it can be turned 90 or 180 degrees to fit your floor area.

Cosyboard & Carrier Mat
Cosyboard Create the perfect base for your underfloor heating system
In tests with our underfloor heating products, the floor warming time on an uninsulated floor was cut from over one hour to less than 30 minutes. Simply fix the boards to a concrete or timber floor with tile adhesive. Please note that we do not sell cheaper foam boards, i.e. without the harder outer shell, as from our experience they crush during the tiling process. Cosyboard has an insulating polystyrene core, which is protected by a strong outer cement type coating.
Insulating Tile Backer Boards provide a perfect subfloor for tiling and we highly recommended them for underfloor heating, essential if you are installing on an old concrete subfloor. Cosyboard is available in 1200mm x 600mm with a 6mm thickness.

Loose Cable Carrier Mat The professionals choice for loose cable installations Cosytoes Underfloor Heating Carrier Mat is designed for ease of installing our loose cable system. The revolutionary system acts as two products in one. Firstly, the mat is a decoupling membrane which guards against sub floor movement and stress cracking tiles in the future. Secondly it acts as a cable carrier which ensures even wire and heat distribution, as well as reduced installation time. (Use above Cosyboard on concrete floors for correct performance). Available in 5sqm Rolls.

1. Order the correct amount It is important not to order too much as you cannot simply cut the end of the mat or cable off. Products can be combined (wired in parallel) if your surface area exceeds that provided in any single mat or cable. 2. Use mats where possible Mats come with fixed cable spacings to provide uniform heat over the floor surface. Our Loose Cable Kits are designed for smaller and more awkward areas. 3. As a sole heat source Generally, 150w per square metre mat is suitable for modern buildings for tile warming, or as a sole heat source, but older buildings and conservatories may need further heat in very cold weather. An old building will clearly have more heat escaping than a modern well insulated building. The floor space that is available for heating in relation to the room size is also important, e.g. a kitchen can be a large room with a relatively small floor area when fixed objects are deducted. 4. Insulate for the best results We always advise the use of insulation to give the best performance, economy and quicker heat-up times. Do not install underfloor heating on an uninsulated concrete floor* as this will waste energy. Use Cosyboard over uninsulated concrete or on insulated concrete or timber floors for a quicker heat-up time. Help and Advice
5. Choosing a Control Unit Choose a Cosytoes® Control Unit (timerstat) to regulate energy use for maximum efficiency. We offer a variety of units, so choose the one with the features that you require. Each Control Unit can handle 22sqm (or 26sqm for the Gloss Timerstat) of heating mat. Mats can be connected in parallel if the surface area exceeds any single mat, e.g. 20m 2 can be heated using two 10m2 mats. Even larger areas can be controlled using a wireless timerstat where the transmitter can be set to communicate with multiple receivers. Each receiver can handle 22m2, so two receivers can be used to control up to 44m2 of mat and so on. Alternatively, two Control Units could be used with two heating zones. 6. Preparing the floor TradeMat Plus, Loose Cable Kits and Carrier Mat Systems should be laid on an insulated concrete or timber floor and then covered with self-levelling compound. Tiles or stone surfaces are then laid on a continuous screeded bed of adhesive in the normal way. For vinyl type floor finishes, the thickness of self levelling screed should be increased to at least 10mm thickness. *Pre 1995 building regs

6-Step Installation Overview These diagrams show you the general steps for installing underfloor heating under a tiled floor. Full step by step instructions are supplied with each product, but they can also be downloaded from www.cosytoes.co.
1. Plan and prepare the floor To help you plan where to install your heating system it may be useful to sketch the layout of the room and mark the area to be heated. Ensure that the subfloor is prepared (smooth and flat) as required for the final floor finish. 2. Lay the system efficiently These diagrams show how easy it is to install the heating mats in any area and around any obstacle.

3. Start laying the system Cut the fabric backing and bend the heating cable to fit the room layout.

4. Fix the system in place Stick your system to the prepared subfloor. We recommend that you prime a concrete subfloor with an acrylic primer before you stick the mats down. Also install the floor probe (supplied with timerstat) between two heating cables. Note: The heating cable MUST always be tested prior to tiling. 5. Apply tile adhesive Some tilers prefer to tile directly over the heating mat, or apply a thin layer of tile adhesive or self-levelling compound over the system using a non toothed spreader to protect the heating cable from damage. 6. Lay the flooring Once the tile adhesive or self-levelling compound covering the heating mat has dried, apply flexible tile adhesive and tile.

The 10 Essentials of Underfloor Heating
1. Service We are always happy to help our valued customers and especially the installer. We will exchange unused goods for a different size, send out replacements for probes free of charge and discuss any other problems that you have. 2. Lifetime Guarantee Cosytoes’ high performance, teflon insulated heating cable is manufactured to the highest standards and specifications, which is why we can confidently give a lifetime product guarantee. See www. cosytoes.co. 3. Timber floors Cosytoes is suitable for fixing directly to timber floors. Boarding out the floor with a well fixed tile backer board will provide an excellent base for the heating cable and will improve efficiency. 4. New concrete floors A concrete sub-floor that has been laid over an insulation layer (as required for new buildings - post 1994) acts as a storage radiator. It takes longer to heat up (hours) but also takes longer to cool down. Installing on a tile backer board will give a much faster heat-up time. 5. Old concrete floors Non-insulated concrete floors will soak up the heat and you will end up with poor performance and high-energy costs! Only lay on these floors using a suitable tile backer board.
6. Sizing and laying If you need help planning your underfloor heating system, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will be more than happy to assist you. 7. Controllers Whilst giving you a luxurious warm floor, Cosytoes systems deliver the same results as conventional heating but operate at a much lower temperature giving you maximum economy and efficiency. 8. Laminate, timber or carpet Cover the TradeMat Plus with a good thickness of self-levelling screed to fit a floating floor of laminate or timber as required. Always ensure there is free space around the edge of the room so the gripper fixings don’t damage the heating cable. Or use Cosytoes Softmat system that has been specifically designed to fit under laminate or wood flooring. 9. Running Costs Our combined time and temperature controllers help keep energy costs to a minimum, TradeMat Plus will use just 2p/ hour/ sqm (approximately) in a modern home. Insulating the floor with tile backer board can improve the efficiency and heat- up time by up to 50%. 10. Wet Rooms All Cosytoes heating cables conform to IPX7 and are suitable for installation in wet rooms, which means that our TradeMat Plus can help dry a bathroom floor in a matter of minutes.
All Cosytoes ® products are manufactured to comply with UK and EU safety standards. Our underfloor heating cables are also manufactured to meet the underfloor heating standard EN 60335-2-96:2002 and are IPX7 rated for use in wet areas.
