Cable Technology
The in-slab cable is a flexible, double-insulated single cable system. a multi-strand heating cable provides superior strength to prevent cable failure due to slab movement.
Heat Output
The in-slab cable has a heat output of 160W per m² at 200mm spacing. It is available in factory terminated lengths ranging from 30m up to 170m. Comfort Heat staff will help select the correct cable length for your heated area with a 200mm clearance from walls and fixtures.
Installation
The in-slab cable is installed before the slab is poured. The cable is attached to either the mesh (i.e. F72) or the reinforcing rods installed at 200mm centres (one direction only).
