Electric Heating is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly floor heating solution. You can use it for either newly constructed or renovated homes. Even though electric heating systems don’t require specific maintenance, we have put together a list of recommendations to consider when using our products.
In this document, the phrases:
“heating element” refers to heating cables and 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.
