protected against damage from sharp edges. On principle, it is recommended that the installation of ceiling heating
in one room is completed before installation begins in another room.
• When installing the ceiling heating, the following minimum clearances must be respected for the heating foil:
a) a minimum of 50 mm from all air pipes, wooden beams and lighting supports
b) a minimum of 200 mm from all electric lights and electric boxes
c) The distance of the foil from cold leads and neighboring electrical circuits (with the exception of possible
interconnections) must be at least 25 mm.
• Nails, clips and other fixation elements may pass through the foil only on the longitudinal sides, at a minimum
distance of 11 mm from the copper conductor bus bar.
4. Testing the ceiling heating
• Testing should be done after the wiring is completed and before
the installation of thermal insulation or the covering of the
ceiling construction. A responsible person will carry out the
measurement of the resistance of the circuit of the foil in each
room before the connection of the thermostat. The value of the
output of the heating film must be within the range of +5% -
10% (resistance (R) - 5% to + 10%) of the value of the label
rating stated by the producer, and at the same time, testing of
the function of the thermostat is recommended when the film is
put into operation.
• Record the information in the warranty certificate.
5. Installation of thermal insulation
• The insulation is laid on the heating film without bends, folds or overlaps.
• There must be no air space between the heating film and the thermal insulation.
• Use of insulation with fiberglass or mineral wool without the covering film or paper is recommended; the
recommended thickness of insulation is 10 cm in interior ceiling spaces and 20 cm in roof ceilings.
• As a rule, the use of flammable materials as insulation is not recommended.
• All empty spaces are filled with thermal insulation.
6. Covering of the ceiling
• Use of plasterboard with a thickness of 16 mm maximum is recommended, taking into account the thermal
resistance which must not be higher than 0.08 m

K/W.
• Plans describing the thermal insulation, the fixation of the covering panels and the surface finish of the covering
panels are part of the design of the construction part of the ceiling heating project.
• The installation of insulation and covering panels (suspended ceiling) is provided by the supplier of the building part
of the ceiling heating project.
7. Completing the installation of the ceiling heating, warranty
• Remove all leftover installation material and complete the certificate regarding the installation testing. The measured
values must be recorded in the warranty certificate.
The measured values from the first measurement must agree. In the event of any difference, do not record the second
value in the warranty certificate as it is very likely that damage was caused during the laying. Discover the defect or call
the producer or supplier.
8. Regulation
• For the regulation of rooms heated with Ecofilm films, the following thermostats may be used: INSTAT 2, INSTAT 6,
INSTAT 8, Fenix Therm 100, NTC HC 10.
