Under Carpet Heating

Under-carpet heaters consist of a hard reinforced industrial aluminium foil on one side and of a polyester material on the other side. The heating wires are sandwiched between these two materials. Because of the excellent conductivity of aluminium, heat-transfer is done swiftly, with minimum heat losses, and as a result, quite a saving on running costs.

These Under-Carpet Heaters are fully manufactured by us.

The underfloor heating come in different sizes and power outputs. The finest imported heating conductors are used and the engineered fluorocarbon thermoplastic coating which insulates the heating wires ensures lifetime durability.

These heaters are laid directly between the underfelt and the wall-to-wall carpets. As the heater is in firm contact with the carpet, the warmth emanating from it, is felt within minutes. Because of their design, the warmth is well distributed and not confined to a particular spot as with conventional heaters. Furthermore, the room temperature can be regulated by means of a thermostat with a built-in pilot light allowing the consumer to monitor his comfort.

Flat bottomed, solid base furniture or mattresses must never be allowed to rest on top of a heater while switched on. This will cause the heat to be trapped and the unit will overheat. This could result in the discolouring of the carpet surface. A 20mm air-gap is needed between the furniture and the carpet for the heat to be able to dissipate.

All thermostats carry a 1(one) year guarantee.

All heating systems carry a 5 (five) year guarantee.
