Floorwarmers Underfloor Heating Cable

Specifications

Floorwarmers Underfloor heating cable is a series-type heating cable with a twin conductor and a cold lead of 3.0M on one side. The cable has resistance heating wire provided with a primary insulation of fluoropolymer, then covered with metal shielding and a final outer sheath. The final outer diameter of the twin-conductor cable is 2mm.

• The Hot and Cold lead junctions are uniquely designed to make them 100% foolproof.
• Standards - Meets all test requirements of IEC 60335.
• Approvals - CE certified by SGS
• Cost-effective - Underfloor heating provides heat where required, resulting in optimal heat utilization and minimal losses.
• Flexibility - It can be laid in any area or floor layout.
• Comfort - Close and uniform spacing of heating cables, associated with thermostat controls to select temperature requirements, provides higher comfort.
• DIY - Floorwarmers underfloor heating systems are designed to be easy to install, with clear instruction manuals and professional technical support.
• Range - Many heat loads and sizes ensure suitability for all floorings.

High-Quality Construction

• 
  ProWarm Electric Underfloor Heating Sticky Mat: Utilizes the same premium cable as the ProWarm Loose Cable kit. The mat incorporates a sticky fibreglass mesh to ensure optimal heat output by maintaining proper cable spacing. Installation is straightforward—simply roll out the mat to cover the desired heating area.
• 
  Heating Cable: Series-type with twin conductors and a 4m cold lead at one end.
• 
  Cable Composition: The resistance heating wire is encased in a fluoropolymer insulation layer, wrapped in protective metal shielding, and enclosed in a final plastic outer sheath. The twin conductor cable has a final diameter of 2mm.
• 
  Junction Design: Unique design for hot and cold lead junctions ensures they are 100% foolproof.

Installation

Please Note: This is a brief guide. Always refer to the full installation manual for comprehensive instructions.

1. Plan Your Layout:

• Divide the floor into a series of rectangles. Use these measurements to calculate the number and sizes of mats needed, excluding permanent or static fixtures from your calculations.

2. Prepare the Subfloor:

• For screed over concrete floors, lay insulation boards to minimize heat loss and ensure quicker warm-up times.

3. Lay the Heating Mat:

• Start with the first run of the mat. Cut the mat (leaving the cable intact) at the end of each run, turn it 90° or 180°, and continue laying.
• Once the area is covered, adjust the mat so that the loops are evenly spaced.
• Secure the mat to the subfloor using the special tape provided.

4. Electrical Connections:

• Install an RCD fused spur to power the thermostatic controller/programmer and the mat system.
• Lay the temperature probe from the timer-thermostat onto the floor, position it equidistant between two cable loops, and secure it to the surface.
• Position the unheated power supply cable from the end of the mat system near the thermostat.
• Make all necessary connections to the power supply. Run the heaters for no more than 10 minutes to ensure they are heating up properly.

5. Finish the Flooring:

• Option 1: Apply a thin, self-levelling screed over the mat and allow it to dry completely before laying tiles.
• Option 2: Directly trowel flexible tile adhesive over the mat and lay the floor tiles.
• After grouting, let the tile adhesive cure fully before switching on the system.
