The great advantage of the electrical temperature control systems compared to conventional underfloor heating is the low installation height and the simple, Installation completely independent of central heating. The heating mat is only two to four millimeters high and therefore particularly suitable for subsequent installation during renovations. A heated screed several centimeters high is not necessary with these systems.
The mats are in different lengths, Widths and with different heating capacities available. Their main area of application is in the barefoot area, where it is about the rapid heating of tiles, Stone and wood- or carpeting.
Laying is simple, though, but must be carried out with great care. Because the live heating cables must not be cut under any circumstances, be kinked or crushed. The mats are laid with a special adhesive on the dry and dust-free subsurface or in the tile adhesive bed. All coverings suitable for underfloor heating can then be laid.
The installer can prepare and glue the heating mats, lay the conduits and install the temperature sensor. A licensed electrician is commissioned for all electrical connection work.
The thermal floor from AEG: Here are the mats with scissors for cutouts, for example in the bathtub area, tailored. The heating mats are laid in a PCi pusher bed. Nach drei Tagen Austrocknung können die Fliesen hierauf verlegt werden. Der Fliesenmörtel – it must be suitable for underfloor heating - is drawn on with a notched trowel, the tiles are inserted. The cables for the temperature sensors and PTC thermistors are routed through the conduits into the flush-mounted distribution and connected.
hands off! Every DIY enthusiast has dealt with electricity, repairs a lamp or replaces defective switches. Although this “everyday work” is actually also a subject-
man to be done, many seber makers dare to approach them. When connecting these heating systems, however, there is no exception. This applies to laypeople: Steer clear of the electrical installation in damp areas!
