The table below can be taken as a general guide. Actual requirements will depend on the floor construction, type of floor coverings,
insulation levels etc. The STRATA_HEAT™ Wire selection will depend on the application.
Application W/sq ft
New floors in builds with high levels of insulation 13W/sq ft (13W/929 cm 2)
Wooden floors 11W/sq ft (13W/929 cm 2)
Wet areas (showers, bathrooms, steam rooms etc) 13W/sq ft (13W/929 cm 2)
Note:
The UL Listing for this product covers use in wet locations for
CANADA
only. Wet location installation in United States shall be
in accordance with the National Electric Code, NFPA 70 and any other applicable jurisdictional code and final acceptance is to be made by
the Authority having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Thermal Insulation
The insulation levels of a floor will affect both the performance & running costs of under tile heating. Using the heating cable without
thermal insulation can take up to 5 hours to heat a room whereas a system with thermal insulation takes less than an hour.
If the LATICRETE STRATA_HEAT Wire is being installed onto a concrete base it is highly recommended that a layer of insulation is used
prior to installing the heating cable. The thermal insulation reflects the heat upwards instead of allowing heat to penetrate into the
subfloor, greatly improving the warm-up times & running costs.
The thickness of insulation required will depend on whether it is for floor renovation or a new floor.
Floor Coverings
All floor finishes should be installed as per the manufacturer´s instructions. With radiant heating, the floor covering is essentially part of
the heating system. The most suitable floor coverings are those with a low thermal resistance, normally referred to as the R-value.
The type and thickness of floor covering materials used with this product must not exceed a thermal insulation “R” value of 1.
