Electric underfloor heating - modern and efficient
An electric underfloor heating system offers tons of benefits and is incredibly simple to install. That’s why electric underfloor heating systems are become ever more popular, nit just in new builds, in existing building renovations too. With this type of heating system, heat is generated right where it’s needed. Extensive wire routing with its expected losses and a complex pipe installation are no longer required. Depending on the requirement and installation situation, different types of electrical heating system can be used to control the floor temperature, such as underfloor heating cables or underfloor heating mats. Matching accessories ensure that the underfloor electric heating systems are easy to install, and that they operate smoothly.
- Function Underfloor heating cables for installation in cement coverings ensure that pleasant heat radiates through the floor, and that is distributed evenly. The heating cables are connected to an electronic thermostat, which means it’s very simple to control heat output. The line doesn’t need to be fed back to the thermostat, as the underfloor heating cable is specially designed with a twin lead inside. The heating cable is only connected to the thermostat on one side, which makes installation really easy. The connection cable is firmly connected to the heating cable, where the transition from the cold connection line to the heated part of the cable can be clearly identified by a marking.
- Area of application underfloor heating cables are suitable for direct installation in cement surfaces, such as screed. The capacity per square metre can be easily determined by the cable distance, which means that it can easily adapted to specific requirements. The underfloor heating cable is flexible and easy to install, due to its high degree of deformability. This even allows for installation in rooms that have an irregular shape or in niches between plumbing items. The heating cables can be fastened to various substrates in various ways, depending on what is required. They can be fixed to suitable insulation mats using aluminium adhesive tape, however, special fitting table may be used for underfloor heating cables. The heating cables can also be fastened on construction steel mats using cable ties.
- Function Underfloor heating mats consist of a flexible mat made of fibreglass material, which has a flexible heating cable attached to it. This means that the heating mats can be rolled out and laid in the blink of an eye. Underfloor heating mats can be installed into a flexible tile adhesive or in a self-levelling compound. The heating mats are ideally suited to subsequent installation on an existing floor superstructures, such as during existing building renovations, and even during initial installation in new builds. As the heating mats are located directly underneath the material surface, such as under tiles or other ceramic coverings, this type of underfloor heating system responds relatively quickly.
- Area of application Above all, underfloor heating mats are suitable wherever fast and even heat output is needed through the floor, and only if the electrical heating system’s installation height is low. As underfloor heating mats are installed so they are extremely flat, they are ideally suited to subsequent installation, such as during existing building renovations, or when servicing a bathroom. An electrical underfloor heating system with underfloor heating mats is also a great additional heating option, instead of just using conventional heating. It ensures that the floor quick reaches a pleasant temperature, whether that’s in the bathroom, spa area, or hobby room. This type of electrical underfloor heating system comes into its own with its short heat-up time and can be operated completely independently of the existing heating system, such as during the summer months or in the interim period.
An electro-thermal actuator enables valves to be opened and closed using electrical voltage, such as with underfloor heating systems. For instance, this enables multiple heating circuits or zones of an underfloor heating system to be controlled from a single point. The actuator and underfloor heating manifold can be used as components in conjunction with the underfloor heating system, where the actuators are monitored by an electronic control system.
