  • Page 24: Section 5: General Installation Instructions

    GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS LAYOUT The installation of EverWarm Film begins with planning a layout for the Heating Film. This helps the installer understand how much Heating Film will be needed, and which (and how many) Wiring Harnesses, Jumpers, Adders, and extra Edge Sealing Tape might be needed. Additionally, a pre-planned layout will determine thermostat (and possibly slave thermostat) locations.
