Related QuestionsCan Cablewarm™ under floor heating cables be cut to length if too long?
Electric Under Floor Heating FAQsFor single heating cables the floor spacing pitch can be adjusted closer together down to a minimum of 50mm, this will result in a higher wattage output per m². If under floor cable heating mats are too long select the nearest heating mat down from within the Cablewarm™ range. If in any doubt always work out how many widths of 500mm will be required to fill the area of the floor you intend to heat.
Related QuestionsHow quickly can I expect my tiled floor to get warm with Cablewarm™ heating mats?
Electric Under Floor Heating FAQsThis depends on a number of factors like the sub-floor type and insulation: a cement sub-floor will be slow to warm without a thermal insulation barrier, creating a significant drag on the performance of the floor heating. A layer of high quality insulation will have a dramatic effect in these circumstances, speeding up the initial warm up times to within 15-20 minutes. We recommend the use of Fastwarm® underfloor heating insulation.
Related QuestionsWhat depth of under floor heating insulation do I need?
Electric Under Floor Heating FAQsA simple rule of thumb is to incorporate as much heating insulation wherever possible.
