Can Underfloor Heating Cables Be Shortened?

No. Underfloor heating cables are manufactured to a specific length and heating output, so they must never be cut, shortened, or altered. Modifying the cable can damage the heating element, affect system performance, and void the product warranty.

To ensure safe operation and efficient heating, it is important to select the correct cable size for the installation area before fitting the system. If you have purchased a cable that is too long or are unsure which size you need, contact our technical support team before installation for guidance on the best solution.
