Cables for Heated Floors

The cable is the heart of a heated floor: it's what produces the heat under the tile. The selection includes Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-HK and Drexma membrane cables, Comfort-One cables and mats for concrete slabs, in 120 V and 240 V, for areas from 10 to over 300 sq ft.

Calculate the area actually heated (excluding built-in furniture and the tub), choose the voltage based on the planned circuit, and make sure the cable is compatible with your membrane. Measure the cable's resistance before and after installation to catch any damage before the tile goes down. The connection must be made by an electrician. See also membranes and thermostats.
