Product description
With underfloor heating cable, you realize comfortable underfloor heating in bathroom, toilet, kitchen, living room, conservatory or other room. (NB: this cable is not handy in tile adhesive;
an underfloor heating mat is better suited for that).
The heating cable is installed on a subfloor of concrete, or in the screed on top of it. Then the finished floor can be tiled - or fitted with any other kind of floor covering, including wood.
Applications
Underfloor heating wherever you want
This flexible underfloor heating cable is ideal for rooms with irregular shapes, e.g. bathrooms. This is because you can easily determine yourself where the floor should be heated.
Determine the heating capacity yourself
This heating cable is laid in the form of loops, spaced 10 to 20 cm apart. For additional heat output per square metre, reduce the distance between cables.
100 Watt / m² > laying distance = 20.0 cm
125 Watt / m² > laying distance = 16.0 cm
150 Watt / m² > laying distance = 13.3 cm
175 Watt / m² > laying distance = 11.4 cm
200 Watt / m² > laying distance = 10.0 cm
For bathroom and kitchen, 125 to 150 W/m² is usual.
A low-energy house needs only 75 W per m².
In a conservatory or garage, you can go up to 200 W/m².
How do I install underfloor heating cable?
Basically, there are two options for installing this heating cable:
1. Fix floor heating cable with ty-reps or wire to the rebar and then fully embed it in the concrete floor.
2. Fix the underfloor heating cable to the existing subfloor with glue or fixing strip, then apply the screed cement/mortar.
The entire heating cable must be embedded in a 'stony floor mass' at least 5 cm thick. This includes any tiles or flagstones on the screed. This way, there is optimum temperature distribution.
Control with thermostat
You can combine several cables to achieve the desired heated floor area. It is also possible to connect several cables to one (clock) thermostat.
This heating cable has one 'cold' connection end, which you connect to the mains voltage via a
thermostat.
