God knows

I only use NuHeat electric systems

It's a good system.
Clean the floor and vacuum.
Prime floor
Fit panels ( start at the left rear of the room) the panels overlap from that side.
Fit pipe work and pressure test.
Self level with their fibre reinforced leveller..

I've recently used it on approx 100sqm. It's ok, but prep is everything.
The castellated panels are self adhesive and you'll need a very smooth, clean floor to stick them to.
The supplied leveller is ok, but cracks easily - not the best quality tbh.
I had to level over the pipes, and then level again to get a reasonable finish. So make sure to price in for 2, maybe even 3 mixes if the floor beneath the pipes needs smoothing first.

I didn't have any involvement with the pipes and manifolds - that's for those plumber types.

You say the supplied compound cracks easily Is it fibre reinforced?

 

[Chalker]

I used th lopro leveller. Looks like it's not fibre reinforced!
I got a guy with a water fed pump/ mixer to lay it. One pallet of the stuff.
I didn't see any cracking. Bit it was on a good floor.

I often add my own fibres to smoothing compounds You can do this with any be it water based or latex mix
