Undertile heating
This system is the most popular. As you can see from the diagram,the thin-manufactured heating wires are laid just under the tiles and has the effect to warm up very quickly. Because of the restrained diameter
of these heating wires(+/-2mm), the floor level will not change if the existing carpets are removed and replaced with ceramic tiles. More on this on the following pages
Undercarpet heaters are heating pads manufactured in many different sizes. They are placed between the underfelt and the wall-to-wall carpets at the time of the installation or eventually under loose rugs. They also have the effect to warm up pretty quickly, because of the close contact with the material.

INTRODUCTION TO UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS
We manufacture three different underfloor heating systems:
Underfloor heating
(This system has unfortunately been
discontinued due to the high rising costs of electricity).
This system is the grand daddy of the more recent systems. It is simply laid on top of the concrete slab by using specially notched spacers on which the heating cables are simply hooked. Cables are usually spaced 75mm from each other. A screed of around 25mm to 50mm thick (usually a mixture of river sand and standard cement to a ratio of 6:1) is poured over the wires and levelled using conventional tools. All types of flooring can be used: from ceramic tiles to wood.This system is also used lately with the now fashionable coloured screeds using chemical oxides.
