- Temperature control from 5°C to 30°C /40°F to 80°F/.
- With its large heating surface distributes the heat more evenly and comfortably throughout the room than traditional systems.
- Heated floors mean complete comfort , not only on the floor , but for the whole room.
- Isn’t trouble in renovations.
- With floor heating there is less dust in the rooms.
- With optimal exploitation it uses less energy than the normal heating system with 10% to 40%. In homes it is about 30%.
Advantages
Choosing heating cables
Heating cables are chosen to ensure 100 -160 W/sq.m. 10-15 W/sq ft. 160W/m2 are used when the floor heating is the primary heating source and the climate is cold. If it is used for a floor comfort or the climate is warm the power can be lower.
There are three kinds of cables. The standard cable which is used for dry areas, the shielded cable /with a metal screen/ and the extra thin cable - with a screen but without outer insulation. More than one cable can be used for heating a room. For choosing the right cables check the table.
Floor construction
Installation
Heating cables are installed under flooring material or cement thinset. Conductors are arranged on the floor at distance from 6cm - to 15cm /3"-6"/. If there are more than one cables they are arranged parallel or on sections:
All requirements for the installation are explained in details in the installation guide.
Heating Mats
All the requirements for the heating cables must be obeyed when installing a mat. The heat conductor must not be cut. If you need to change direction you can cut the mesh only. Here are the predefined size maps.
We can make mats upon a request. For additional information contact us!
Thermostats
Precise temperature control guarantees a soft warmness in the room and economical work regime. We use two kinds of thermostats with a floor sensor for 120V and 230V.
Programmable thermostat
16A 120V and 220V
Digital thermostat
16A 120V and 220V
