ComfortTile Heating Systems
|
The ComfortTile floor heating system is an industry standard, and features one of the thinnest,
most durable cables available.
Barely 1/16 of an inch in diameter, ComfortTile heat cable comes on the spool or pre-spaced on an adhesive backed fiberglass mesh backing.
This high quality, single termination heating cable has a copper nickel alloy conductor,
is insulated with a thin layer of Tefzel, and is protected by a stainless steel braid.
The heating cable is designed to generate 8 to 12 watts per square foot, which is enough to provide sufficient heat for an entire room in most situations.
It is the most commonly used heat cable for warming floors in homes and businesses.
As a favorite of tile setters, CT cable can be installed over the subfloor and then thinset applied directly over the cable. The floor heating system
is also very durable, making it easier for workers to install the system without having to worry about the cable being fragile or easily damaged. Thinset can be applied directly over the heat cable and
then tile is installed directly over that. CT floor heating systems are
easy to install and come with an industry leading manufacturer warranty.

Cable strapping - featuring hooks for the cable every inch - is used to maintain cable spacing when laying out the cable. The strapping can
be stapled or glued to the base surface and stands only 3/16" tall.

Much of the ComfortTile heating cable can be installed by any "do-it-yourselfer" or contractor, but it is important that an electrician perform the wiring for the system. The thin cable and unique spacing gauges allow the system to
be custom fit into an size or shaped area. CT heating mats with pre-spaced cable can also be easily installed (like rolling out a sleeping bag).

Because of the thin cable (only 1/16"), it can be installed directly
in the thin set. No additional mortar is needed resulting in zero floor buildup. The cable can be installed
directly on the wood sub floor or on a concrete board. The cable is spaced at 2 inches to obtain
12 watts per square foot, which is recommended for space heating and supplemental
floor warming in most situations. This high quality product offers excellent results and competitive
pricing with price of under $9 per square foot when heating more than 60 square feet. For help determining the heatable square feet for your project, click here.
