Heat Mat 3mm Heating Cable
Our 3mm loose heating cable is a product which allows you the flexibility to provide underfloor heating to any room regardless of shape and size at a wattage of your choice. In normal circumstances, 3mm cable will not add any build height to your floor as it is contained within the tile adhesive layer allowing the floor covering to be laid immediately after the cable is installed.
The 3mm cable is the same as that used in our underfloor heating mats and is twin-conductor and earth shielded so that, unlike many other suppliers products, it emits negligible EMF radiation. The cable is protected from stretching by a Kevlar thread and is affixed to the floor with the double-sided tape which we provide.
The 3mm cable is suitable for installation directly beneath tile and stone coverings at any wattage and can be used beneath carpet, bonded wooden floors and vinyl when restricted to no more than 160W/m2 and covered with Thermoplan levelling compound. We would recommend a minimum of 150W/m2 to provide sole source heating and in badly insulated areas a higher wattage will be required.
The 3mm cable allows you to increase the output of your heating system in areas where this is desired. By altering the distance between cable runs you could install the cable at 150W/m2 over the main floor area and 200W/m2 in front of a draughty doorway if required.
Unlike other suppliers we do not provide a primer with our heating systems as we can not possibly specify the primer you require without the knowledge of which tile adhesive will be used. Manufacturers recommend specific primers for use with each of their tile adhesives and they will only provide a guarantee on their products if a suitable primer has been used.
This system is suitable for use with Heat Mat insulation board which will enable the underfloor heating to run more efficiently benefiting both you and the environment.
This system is fully Semko approved and CE marked and is guaranteed by a 15 year manufacturer's warranty.
