DCM-PRO is easy to install since its self-adhesive backing attaches directly to the subfloor. This means that there is no need to mix additional tile adhesive to affix the mat to the subfloor, and no wasted time waiting for the base layer of tile adhesive to dry before installing the cable. This saves you both time and money during the installation process.
The pre-spaced channels on the mat make it quick and easy to evenly space and lay the heating cable, so you don’t have to spend time on measuring and calculating the correct spacing to output ratio for projects. This ensures correct spacing throughout the installation, allowing a consistent output of 150W/m². The DCM-PRO Cable is durable, and highly-flexible, and it provides maximum reliability during installation.
DCM-PRO consists of a self-adhesive castellated membrane and a heating cable. The heating system can be used with all types of floor finishes suitable for use with an underfloor heating. The self-adhesive layer of the DCM-PRO Mat acts as a self-healing decoupling layer, eliminating the need for additional fixings and laborious installation methods, significantly reducing both installation time and costs.
The self-levelling compound can be poured directly onto the DCM-PRO System and flows effortlessly between the channels of the mat, allowing it to heat and protect any suited floor covering material including tiles, laminate, engineered wood, vinyl and carpet.
Once the DCM-PRO system is installed, it is easy to tile over or lay down another floor finish. You can apply tile adhesive directly onto the system, providing the perfect surface to lay tiles on, with no risk of any damage to the heater. The unique design of the system ensures that the cable stays safe during the installation. Therefore risk of mechanical damage, such as stepping on the system with heavy boots or a trowel damaging the cable is minimised.
The unique features and benefits of the system do not stop here; the patent pending self-healing decoupling layer protects floor coverings from damage. This is because the layer contracts and expands to deal with seasonal changes in subfloors, therefore preventing damage from occurring to floor coverings. Gaps and cracks are a natural consequence of the seasonal expansion and contraction in the subfloor. Unlike traditional fabric-based decoupling layers which tear when subject to movement, DCM-PRO expands and contracts for durable, long-term protection.
The DCM-PRO cable is offered with a Lifetime Warranty and SafetyNet™ Installation Guarantee when installed with the DCM-PRO Mat.
