Installation Guidelines:
Timber Base: Use Tekwarm mechanical fixings and washers to secure the boards to the timber subfloor. Ensure the fixings are of appropriate length for the application.

Concrete Base: Adhere the Tekwarm boards to the concrete using a bed of combed tile adhesive (S1 or equivalent). In some cases, mechanical fixings may also be required depending on the substrate.

Finishing: In most applications, an additional board is not necessary, and flooring can be directly laid on the upper surface. Wood flooring requires a suitable underlay following the manufacturer's instructions. Flooring grade tiles can be laid on a combed tile adhesive layer. For other finishes, use a separating layer of Tekwarm Overlay Board before installation.
