Features & Options
SURFACE ART HEAT FLOOR WARMING CABLES
Surface Art Heat Floor Warming Cable Kits are easy to install with
Warmup Uncoupling Membrane and a healthy and efficient
way to get warm, comfortable floors. Each cable kit includes: 1
heating cable, and installation instructions. Thermostats include 1
heat sensor. All other accessories available separately.
Key Features:
- Versatile: Install under ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone
tiles; or laminate and floating engineered wood floors - Consistent temperature all day long
- Quiet, allergy-friendly heating
buying options:
120 and 240 Volt Kits
WARMUP UNCOUPLING MEMBRANE
Warmup Uncoupling Membranes are innovative uncoupling
membranes designed to result in significant protection for tiled
flooring by creating a new layer between the subfloor and the
floor finish. The Membrane has been successfully tested to ANSI
118.12 standards and performed well on the Robinson test
(ASTM C-627). It is the highest-rated membrane for floor heating
systems.
Key Features:
- Flexible heating zones
- Cost and time-saving installation
- No tools required to fit the cable
- Highest heating outputs
- Uncoupling crack isolation
- Supports load distribution
buying options:
Fleece Backed in 150sf Roll and 2’ 3” x 3’ 3” Sheet
Peel and Stick Available in 150sf Roll and 3’ 3” x 2’ 7” Sheet
WARMUP INSULATION BOARD
Warmup Insulation Boards are the first insulation boards designed for use with electrical floor heating systems. These boards are used to ensure that the heat does not pass through to the sub-floor from the heat cabins, resulting in maximum efficiency.
Key Features:
- Lightweight
- No dust to clean up/breath in during installation
- 50% more even heating and 30% faster heat up times than standard boards
- Built-in Decoupling Layer
- Helps Reduce Energy Usage
buying options:
2′ x 4 Boards
Considerations
Surface Art Heat Floor Warming Cable Kits are available for any square footage.
- For areas larger than 70 square feet (6.50 m2), the 240 Volt Cable is recommended.
- Kit combinations that exceed 15 Amps may require a relay kit.
- Can be installed under laminate or engineered floating wood floors. Not approved for nail-down installations.
- WarmUp Uncoupling Membrane sold separately.
Not sure the square footage you’re heating? Calculate your heating needs below!
Calculate Your Needs
STEP 1 Calculate total area to be heated
- Create a diagram of your floor plan, similar to the one shown at right.
- Break down the walkable area to be heated into smaller portions (squares, rectangles), if needed.
- Find each floor section’s square area by multiplying the length and width of each walkable floor section. Add each of these together for the installation’s total walkable square area. Shown as dark blue.
TIPS
Surface Art Heat Floor Warming Cable Kits are available for any square footage.
- For triangular sections, multiply its sides and divide by 2.
- Order WarmUp Uncoupling Membrane based off full square footage of the room, not just the square footage to be heated. WarmUp is a backer-board replacement and will need to be installed on the entirety of the floor.
STEP 2 Determine heating needs and cable spacing requirem
Standard Cable Spacing
Use standard cable spacing for insulated wood subfloors. For example, a second story bathroom.
Dense Cable Spacing
Use dense cable spacing for rooms above unheated areas, concrete slabs, or high heat loss areas. For example, a basement bathroom.
Alternate Cable Spacing
Use alternate spacing to accommodate rooms that do not fit standard or dense spacing. For example, if standard spacing would leave excessive cable and dense spacing does not reach the entire area.STEP 3 Choose voltage and correct cable kit
For areas larger than 70 square feet (6.50 m2), the 240 Volt Cable is recommended. Each cable kit includes heating cable, 1 thermostat sensor, and installation instructions.
