Incorrect installation

The most common mistakes when laying heating cables and mats

Virtually the whole connector has been pulled into the perimeter wall, where there is no reliable heat dissipation. The second mistake is the bending of the heating cable immediately after the connector – heating and the different expansion of materials in the bend create cyclic mechanical stress on the joint, which can lead to its interruption

They are highly economical to operate in connection with suitable heating regulation. Heating cables are suitable for use as main heating systems as well as systems providing floor heating for additional comfort.
