Selection of floor heating system
Selection of floor heating system will depend on the application.
As a general guideline, we recommend installation at a maximum of 12 watts per Sq.ft. for heating and comfort
applications.
Depending on the claimed result, the cable system can also be used in 9 watts per Sq.ft. applications. To ensure
optimal heating results, please contact a qualifed individual.
Wet areas (in locations subject to saturation with water) like showers, saunas and steam rooms, bathrooms, etc:
12 watts per Sq.ft. The UL listing for this product does not cover use in wet location in the United States.
Please note the above-indicated values are meant as a general guide, actual requirement will depend on insu-
lation levels, floor construction, type of floor coverings, ambient temperature, movement of the people etc.
Note:
The floor heating system can be installed under a shower floor only if the floor is ceramic or natural stone.
A waterproof membrane must be used to maintain the heating cables in a dry environment. The manufacturer recom-
mends using a separate cable for the shower area. The UL listing for this product does not cover use in wet location in
the United States.
