Underfloor Heating Cables

What are Electric Underfloor Heating Cables?

Heating Cables are electric undefloor heating wires that can be installed directly onto or into the subfloor, without the need for a mat backing. They offer great flexibility for layout design as they can be fitted around fixed objects and architectural features, making them the perfect floor heating solution for bathrooms and irregularly shaped rooms.

The spacing of the cables can be altered depending on the required heat output (W/m2). Warmup’s range of Heating Cables include the Loose Wire System and the Inscreed Cable System. The DCM-PRO Heated Decoupling System features a Heating Cable with an accompanying anti-fracture membrane.

Floor Build-up & Room Type

Heating Cables offer a low-profile floor heating solution that won’t substantially raise floor levels. The Loose Wire system is the thinnest heating cable on the market, at just 1.8mm, making it an ‘invisible’ heating system that can be installed within a layer of levelling compound or tile adhesive. The Inscreed Cable has a slightly thicker width of 6mm but is installed directly into a concrete subfloor so has no impact on floor build-up while the DCM-PRO features a system depth of 5.5mm.

All heating cables should be installed alongside suitable insulation materials which enhance the energy-efficiency of the system. Heating Cables are recommended for irregularly shaped rooms and rooms with multiple fixtures such as bathrooms. You can lay the cables down onto the subfloor in whatever layout is most suitable for your space, winding them around corners and fixed objects like baths and shower trays with ease. If you wish to install floor heating in a more regular-shaped room with open floor spaces, our electric floor Heating Mats may offer a better solution for your needs.
