However a higher output does not mean higher running costs, it simply means that the desired temperature can be achieved much faster. Once the temperature is reached, the sophisticated digital thermostat delivers just enough power to maintain the temperature you have set.
Single or twin core cables?
The second important point to note is that we only supply 'twin core' heating cables. Twin core cables have two heating elements inside which gives two important advantages over 'single core' cables.
Firstly you only have one end to connect to the power supply, which is a big advantage during the installation
Secondly the EMF (electromagnetic field) which is created in all electrical appliances & wiring is dramatically reduced, to a level where it is almost immeasurable. Whilst this may not be a major concern for you today, there is a lot of research currently being undertaken around the globe into the effects of EMF & it is impossible to predict what findings may occur in the years ahead.
Flexibility
As with many things in life, it is difficult to find a 'one size fits all' product, so in order to cater for all room types, we supply 3 different under-tile heating options, all of which utilise the same high quality cables.
Cable Kits
For smaller rooms & areas with awkward shapes, we offer the cable kit option, where the 3mm heating cable is supplied on a drum with tape to fix it to the floor. | 150w Cable Mats
For larger areas where you want to cover the floor quickly, we offer the cable mat option in two power outputs. Cable mat 150 gives 150 watts per sqm heat output which is ideal in internal rooms | 200w Cable Mats
Cable mat 200, gives an increased 200 watts per sqm making it perfect for conservatories & other areas of high heat loss. | Please note: All cable mats come complete with Digital Thermostat, Floor Primer, Roller, Floor Probe and Tape |
Under-tile heating (floor warming) Under-tile heating cable/cable mat on un-insulated concrete floor - recommended for floor warming only without insulation.  Under-tile heating cable/cable mat on timber sub-floor
Under-tile heating on concrete sub-floor Under-tile heating showing cable/cable mat on un-insulated concrete floor using tile-backer insulation board Underfloor heating for vinyl/carpet (low tog without underlay) Amtico & Karndean Underfloor heating suitable for other floor coverings (vinyl/carpet etc) Underfloor heating in joisted floor Underfloor heating below wood/laminate floor  |
