EasyHeat: Floorwarming Made Easy


With traditional central heating, air heated by the radiator rises. The result is that the hottest part of the room is the ceiling and coldest is the floor, where the heat is actually needed. This is both very inefficient and wasteful but also uncomfortable to the body generally applied in complex room shapes or areas requiring heating loads from 70 to 200 watts/m.sq. Easyheat fixed output heaters are ideal for conservatories, house extensions, room conversions.These products are ideal for complex room shapes or where the installed loading is required to be between 70 and 200 watts/m.sq.

Benefits from under-floor heating include:-
  • No more cold feet! More comfortable warmth
  • Uniform heat, where it is needed, distributed across the whole floor
  • Lower temperature set point = great energy efficiency
  • Invisible heat – no unsightly radiators
  • No high temperature surfaces – safer, particularly for older people
  • Gentle air circulation reduces airborne dust
  • Dry floors eliminate fungi growth
  • Easier to keep clean
  • EasyHeat cables should be embedded within a 30 to 50 mm levelling compound or sand/cement screed

HOW TO SELECT & INSTALL THE ECO CABLE HEATER

  1. Measure the area required to be heated allowing for obstructions such as kitchen units, Bath,WC.
  2. Select the watts/m2 required (generally 70-150 watts provide a comfort heat).Conservatories require additional heating load if the under-floor system is the primary source of warmth. We recommend 180 to 200 watts/m.sq.
  3. Lay fixing strip provided to floor at approximately 50 cm apart.
  4. Select appropriate position for the controller.
  5. Lay cable and loop back and forth at the required pitch (shown above).
  6. Cover cable with suitable screed (we recommend between 30-50 mm).
    • Please note that the controller has a switching limit of 3600 watts, therefore areas requiring multiple packs will need a contactor supplied and fitted by a qualified person if the total heating load exceeds the switch capacity of the controller.
    • We recommend the use of RCCD/MCB protection with all the underfloor heating systems.
    • Insulation -Warmfloor Solutions promotes energy efficiency. We recommend all floor bases are installed with suitable insulation.
