5A. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5A.1 Planning
Roth Radiant Panel Systems
®
can be installed on all types of sub-floors, which comply with the
current building regulations for load-bearing structures. If the system is going to be installed upon an
existing surface material (e.g. vinyl mat, ceramic tiles, etc.), it must be approved by the flooring
contractor.
The floor panel system has a normal operating range of 60-140°F (15-60°C), depending on the
radiant heating system design and finished floor material. Underlayment, vapor barriers, water-
proof membranes, etc. should be selected with the actual operating temperatures in mind. Be
sure to discuss the design parameters with the flooring contractor prior to installation.
Before starting the installation, you need to plan your loop layout and manifold locations. We also
recommend installing tubing in every track to achieve the best heat distribution.
Try to plan the pattern so that the Master Panels are aligned to allow the loop supply to run along
the outer wall. If installing a wood floor over the panel, align the panel so the loops are running in
the opposite direction of the wood flooring material.
In wet areas, such as bathrooms, etc., where a water-tight layer is requested, the membrane
should be installed above the panel system. Always coordinate these installations with the
flooring contractor.
