Heating cable types.

Heating sections for underfloor heating, intended for laying under a screed, there are resistive and self-regulating.

The peculiarity of the resistive cable Grand Meyer is, that it should not be laid in places where fixed furniture is installed, because heat dissipation from the floor surface will be difficult and the cable may overheat!

These heating cables for underfloor heating are used as the main, and for comfortable heating. They are laid in a layer of cement-sand screed. For comfortable heating, the recommended power of the heating cable when installing underfloor heating - 160-180 Watt / m² . For main heating, recommended power when installing underfloor heating - 200-220 Watt / m² .

Thick resistive twin-core heating cable Grand Meyer 5 mm and power 20 watt per running meter allows you to easily avoid obstacles (bath, toilet bowl, furniture, etc.), optimally covering all free areas of the floor. Increased resistance to mechanical damage allows the use of a heating cable, like indoors, so on the street (tensile strength 300 Kg). One three-meter wire is used to connect the network.. The cable is made using high quality heat resistant silicone insulation and protected by polyester aluminum foil with tinned copper strand.

Self-regulating cable BSX(USA) and KSR(USA) is devoid of these shortcomings and under stationary furniture it will reduce heat generation and will not fail! But the question - do you need to heat the floor under the furniture?

" Underwater rocks" in underfloor heating installation.

To avoid unpleasant surprises during operation, the following points should be considered:

• It is not recommended to lay the system " Warm floor " under permanently standing furniture. This causes the furniture to dry out., due to overheating due to limited heat transfer and premature failure of the heating element.
• It is strictly forbidden to reduce the length of the section., by cutting it off, if there is a surplus. The cable section is designed for a certain area and must be laid according to the instructions.
• The system demonstrates high reliability only if all installation instructions are strictly followed and work performed professionally, and any amateur activity or a low level of quality of work can lead to quick breakdowns.
• The opportunity to save about 20% heating costs compared to other underfloor heating systems are indeed observed, but only in houses with good centralized heating and high-quality insulation of the room.
• The presence of a warm floor does not dry the air, however does not moisturize it, when using traditional district heating, the problem of humidity levels will have to be somehow solved.
