DITRA-HEAT Cable 16 Sq Ft (120V)
Description
DITRA-HEAT twisted pair heating cable is designed to quickly snap into DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane.
Manufactured by Schluter-Systems, EMF-cancelling DITRA-HEAT radiant heating cable installs directly into DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-DUO cable installation membrane (sold separately) for use under tile or stone flooring plus many other flooring types.
Tile or stone installations require thinset under the membrane and on top to adhere tile.
Other floor covering installations require thinset under the membrane and a cementitious self-leveling underlayment is required to fill the membrane and encapsulate the Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT cables. Suitable for applications with engineered wood, vinyl, wood plastic composite (WPC), luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), luxury vinyl planks (LVP), stone plastic composite (SPC) tiles and planks, and laminate flooring. Solid hardwood flooring is not recommended for floor warming applications.
Additional benefits include:
• 3-stud spacing is standard spacing (12.7 Watts per sq ft)
• 3-2-3-2 stud alternate spacing provides more heat output and allows you to use up “extra” cable; Closer spacing means less area is heated
• Low profile of 1/4″ height in membrane & 5/16″ in DUO insulated membrane
• Compatible with shower floor and bench installation when covered with KERDI
• Significantly reduced installation time. No self-leveler required for Tile!
• 120V and 240V options available in a variety of lengths
• 15-Year Manufacturer Warranty with opportunity to extend
IMPORTANT Information
* Do not purchase a heating cable the same size as the area to be tiled; this will be too much heating cable!
* Be sure to only measure the open floor area and not under objects such as cabinets and tubs.
* Never CUT the heating cable. This would change the cable resistance and could cause cable overheating and failure.
Cable spacing of 3 studs is standard, but closer spacing of 3-2-3-2 provides more heat or allows you to “use up” extra cable if you have too much. 4 stud spacing is NOT recommended as the heat output is too low.
