I laid my Devimat underfloor heating in my bathroom there a while back but made a mistake as I have about 3 feet of the actual heating cable running up into the stud wall which has the timer on it. All of the (red) heating cable should be under the tiles but too late for that now.
The other side of the stud is still exposed so if there's anything I can do to remedy it from that side I have the option. I haven't been using the Devimat as I want to be sure this isn't a problem first. The manual says the heating cable runs to a max of I think 22.5 degrees celsius, but I reckon it could still be a problem as heat would dissipate quicker into the open air than the tile adhesive.
Any suggestions on what I can do to make it work effectively without paying to heat the air in the stud and also ensuring it's safe? Would ideas like covering the exposed heating cable in tinfoil, or pouring a bed of concrete around it make things better or worse?
Thanks for any help.
