CONSTRUCTION
Three main parts of heating wires and devices are :
1) Heating resistance wire capable of long-life stability
at the required temperature. These are single or multi-strand,
or helically wound 1, 2, 3 strands (on glass-fiber cord)
of plated/ unplated Copper, Copper alloy, Stainless Steel
or resistance alloy.
2) PTFE insulation with the desired Radial Thickness of
Insulation (RTI), minimum 0.15 mm to maximum 1.5 mm. This
insulation is guaranteed concentric multi-layer tape-wrapped
and heat-fused.
3) Temperature Sensor; protection system such as braid
shields for ease of handling.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
a) Ohmic value from 0.05 ohm/meter to 500 ohms/meter.
b) Radial thickness of primary PTFE insulation (RTI) 0.15
mm to 1.5 mm.
c) The watts/sq cm or liner watts/meter can be designed
to suit the application, subject to safe maximum spot
temperature of 260°C.
d) These designs can be made to suit the prescribed working
voltage from few volts to several thousand volts, subject
to satisfactory protection system.

FOR FLOOR HEATING AND HEATING PADS/MATS
The standard Heating Elements are for use at 230 V AC
RMS. The typical product form consists of round Heating
Wires with Stainless Steel/Copper Braid Shield and PTFE
jacket with final OD 1.8 mm to 2.5 mm. Conductor used
for heating element is multi-strand (dia 0.25 - 0.68 mm).

Installation:
The design of the HotWire™ Central Heating
System allow for installation directly under the tiles.
A sealer is applied to the substrate to add to waterproofing
and adhesion of elements.
The elements are fixed in position by adhesive tape maintaining
a spacing of no less than a 60mm spacing, ensuring even
heat transfer across the floor. |
A fiberglass mesh is laid on
top of the element to hold the element in place while
screeding. A self-leveling screed is then applied across
the floor wall-to-wall cementing the total application
to the substrate, and limiting the likelihood of damage
to the elements by other tradespeople while waiting for
tiling.
Note: The self-leveling screed also provides a flat
surface for the tiler to tile on, eliminating extra costs.
While working on large developments such as apartments
where other tradespeople may be present, fitting of the
The Heating Company monitors is recommended. The
monitors will automatically alert to any accidental damage
either prior to or during tiling.

Thermostat Control:
Thermostatic control is essential to take advantage of
the "on demand" heating and the economical running costs.
The Heating Company use the latest technology from
Hotwire Building Technologies- (Landis & Staefa
Thermostats)
1). Air Sensing: Unless stated otherwise the installation
includes air sensing thermostat. Recommended for areas
that are not used on a regular basis.
2). Programmable Digital Timer with Probe: These
thermostats are highly recommended for areas used on a
daily basis, or were passive heat gain is present. The
probe sits directly under the floor and provides an accurately
desired floor temperature.
Other types of control such as remote activation
or distribution board control are available upon
request.
