Self-limiting heating cables

The self-limiting heating cables for indoors are used for maintenance of the hot water supply and other fluids that need to maintain a certain temperature. The self-limiting capability of the cable ensures that the output increases or decreases according to the surrounding temperature. It ensures hot water in all taps, providing savings compared to a circulatory hot water system.

Heating cable reduces water waste as hot water is immediately supplied.​

Protection against Legionella—the system maintains the water supply at the required temperature level and provides appropriate disinfection to suppress the Legionella bacteria.​

Lower initial investment of DHW (Domestic Hot Water) system without circulation—appx. 50% less pipes, insulation, valves, and pumps to be installed as no return pipes and insulation are required.​

Space saving—no need for return pipe gives more room in service ducts.

    Heating Mats

    The heating mats are used for installation in a thin layer of tile adhesive, self-leveling mixture, or similar. The standard minimum thickness of the floor layer is 5-8 mm while the thickness of electric heating mat is 3–4.5 mm. This minimizes the floor level increase. Electric heating mats consist of a thin cable securely fixed on self-adhesive glass-fiber mesh, usually of 50 cm width. Thin heating mats are manufactured as ready-made heating sections with a specific area (i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5 … 12 m²) including a power supply cable (cold lead) and hermetically sealed connections.
