DESCRIPTION
Mapeheat
Membrane Maxi is a lightweight uncoupling, anti-fracture and waterproofing
membrane for electrical underfloor heating. This patented membrane is designed
to speed up the installation of tile and stone in interior rooms such as
bathrooms, kitchens and living areas where the luxury of radiant floor heating
is desired.
Mapeheat Membrane Maxi's thin profile works well with remodelling projects
where the new floor will be installed directly over a pre-existing one. Once
the heating cable is set within Mapeheat Membrane Maxi's reliefs, a tile
adhesive or levelling/smoothing compound can be applied immediately.
WHERE TO USE
Some application examples
For the installation of Mapeheat Cable heating over:
Consult
MAPEI’s Technical Services Department for installation recommendations
regarding substrates and conditions not listed.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Preparation of the substrate
Applying the product
Bonding Mapeheat Membrane Maxi to the substrate
1.
Select an appropriate MAPEI C2
classified adhesive such as MAPEI Keraquick S1, Ultralite S1 or better.
2.
Pre-cut and dry-fit Mapeheat
Membrane Maxi in place and then set aside.
3.
Apply the adhesive to the
substrate. If the substrate is existing tile, stone, luxury vinyl tiles or
terrazzo, prime the surface using MAPEI’s Eco Prim Grip Plus before applying
the adhesive.
4.
Lay the previously cut portion
of Mapeheat Membrane Maxi over the wet adhesive, fabric side down.
5.
Lay the next sheet of Mapeheat
Membrane Maxi, taking care to align it with the previous sheet. Ensure that all
reliefs align to the previous installed sheet and that sheets do not overlap
each other.
6.
To ensure a full bond between
Mapeheat Membrane Maxi and the substrate, use a weighted roller over the
installed membrane. For smaller pieces of membrane, use a wood float, steel
trowel or hand roller to apply pressure.
7.
After rolling, the applied
membrane , clean off any excess adhesive that may have squeezed up through the
seams between the membrane sections.
8.
Allow the adhesive to cure.
Waterproofing (optional for installing ceramic tile)
1.
After the cable has been
properly installed, Mapeguard WP Adhesive over. Over the adjoining seams using
the flat side of a trowel. Be sure to fill in any holes or voids, taking care
not to damage the heating cable with the trowel.
2.
Bond Mapeguard ST or Mapeband
Easy jointing tape into the wet applied compound, ensuring an overlap of 50 mm
each side of the seam.
3.
To waterproof around the walls
of the installation area, take a pre-measured length of the joining tape and
fold it in half along its length. One side of the fold will be adhered to the
floor, and the other side will be adhered up the wall. To accomplish this,
follow the installation methods detailed in steps 1 and 2.
Installation of ceramic/porcelain tile and stone
1.
For regular installations,
utilise the same adhesive used to bond Mapeheat Membrane Maxi to the substrate
(minimum of C2 S1 classified tile adhesive). For fast-track installations, bond
tiles with one of MAPEI’S rapidsetting tile adhesives such as MAPEI Keraquick
S1.
2.
Mix the selected adhesive at the
top end of recommended water ratio as outlined on the packaging.
3.
Using the flat side of a trowel
fill the cavities of Mapeheat Membrane Maxi with adhesive or alternatively, a
rubber grout float can be used.
4.
Where mosaic tiles are to be
installed apply a suitable Mapei smoothing compound, such as Ultraplan
Renovation Screed 3240 to a minimum depth of 6mm before installing the selected
mosaics.
5.
Use the trowel’s notched side to
apply adhesive over the prefilled Mapeheat Membrane Maxi. Spread only as much
adhesive as can be covered before the adhesive skins over. Open times vary with
jobsite conditions and adhesive choice.
6.
Begin to install the tile/stone.
Occasionally remove a tile to ensure full coverage is being achieved
7.
For waiting times before
grouting and protection from light foot traffic, refer to the TDS’s of the
MAPEI tile adhesive and grout used. Depending on site conditions, tile size,
temperature and humidity, waiting times may need to be extended.
8.
When cleaning out grout joints
before grouting, be careful not to damage the cables that may be underneath.
Wait a minimum of 7 days after the completed installation of tile before
reactivating the heating cable.
Installation using a smoothing compound and of alternate floor coverings
(engineered wood, luxury vinyl tile, luxury vinyl plank, laminate)
1.
Priming of the Mapeheat Membrane
Maxi is not required prior to the application of smoothing compound.
2.
Apply a suitable MAPEI Ultraplan
Renovation Screed 3240 over Mapeheat Membrane Maxi at a minimum thickness of 6
mm above the highest point of the membrane. Conformation should be sought from
the floor covering manufacture as to the minimum thickness of smoothing
compound required prior to the installation of the intended floor covering.
3.
Allow the applied Ultraplan
Renovation Screed 3240 to cure.
4.
Install floor covering using an
appropriate Mapei adhesive relative to the selected floor finish.
Note: Tile/stone is the most
efficient floor covering for providing maximum heat conductivity and thermal
output per square meter. As other floor-covering types may not transfer heat at
the same rate, they may not warm the floor to the same degree as ceramic tile
and stone will.
Caution: The technical data sheet
and/or installation instructions for any chosen floor covering must confirm
compatibility with radiant floor-heating systems. In addition, the temperature
of the heating cable must not exceed the floor covering’s maximum allowable
temperature.
