Raychem offer self-regulating under floor heating products that automatically adjust the power output, to compensate for ambient temperature drops. Tyco Thermal Controls employs over 2,000 people around the world and has operations in 56 countries
Underfloor heating is ideal for areas such as living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms, children’s rooms and conservatories. Raychem offer three under floor heating systems, T2Red can be installed under any surface including temperature-sensitive flooring without the risk of overheating. Intelligent cabling senses the need for more or less heat at specific points depending on the environment. Raychem self-regulating heating cables automatically adjust their power output to compensate for temperature changes. That makes them ideal for temperature-sensitive floors such as wood. Several leading European wooden floor manufactures have intensively tested Raychem T2Red and T2Reflecta and have certified that they are safe for use under temperature sensitive wooden floors. Wooden floors ‘live’. They swell or shrink, depending on the atmospheric humidity and temperature. High floor temperatures or fast temperature changes can damage the floor. The T2Red cable senses the thermal conductivity of the top floors and automatically adjusts its heat output. The ‘gentle’ heat-up of the system also prevents damage to the wooden floor.
The type of Raychem underfloor heating will depend upon a number of factors, wet rooms such as shower areas and bathrooms will require a different system to a conservatory. Advice, benefits and costings will be given to you by contacting an advisor at UK Bathrooms.
