Before installation it is important that you are aware of the following points.

1) The floor is clean and dry
2) The building is secure, i.e. can be locked
3) The Damp Proof course has been laid
4) The insulation has been laid
5) The plumbing first fix has been installed
6) The walls are tracked for the underfloor sensor.
7) If you are using a Vacuum system, ensure that is has been fitted

The MAGMA control system
The MAGMA control system is one of the most advanced systems available in the underfloor heating market with dual controls on both the wall and floor. This provides you with the ability to achieve optimum savings on running costs and the ultimate comfort level you desire.

How the MAGMA system works in your home or building?
The thermostatic controls MAGMA underfloor heating systems use have provide you with dual control. The floor sensor compliments the thermostat positioned on the wall providing you with the ability control every zone or room individually so that there is no need for your rooms to be heated when not in use.

By setting the time clock each zone can be put on at the desired time, i.e. you may wish to have your living area coming on at 4:30 for you coming home from work with your bedrooms not coming on until 9:30p.m. When used in commercial settings your building can be set to come on at an earlier time than the offices or showroom in order to facilitate working hours.

Your thermostats can be turned up or down as required by simply turning the dial in each room. Each of these thermostats has a minimum and maximum temperature setting thereby maintaining a minimum floor temperature.

Once commissioned and switched on, the MAGMA underfloor heating system holds the floor at a constant state of readiness ensuring that each time your heating system is put off and on again the floor will still reach a comfortable level of heat within 60minutes.

The manifolds and time clock are usually positioned in a utility room or under the stairs.

Once the MAGMA underfloor heating system is installed and the time clock has been set you literally have a 'fit and forget' heating solution.
