In-Slab Heating Cable System The underfloor heating system works best when installed on concrete floors between 2 and 6 inches thick.
In-Slab Heating Cable System
If there’s no insulation or if the concrete is thicker than 4 inches, you’ll need to use insulation boards to ensure proper heating. This heating system is great for almost any type of flooring, especially if you plan to change it occasionally, such as with wood, carpet, or vinyl.
Because it takes longer for the In-Slab Cable to warm up and cool down, it’s perfect for rooms that are used all the time. The concrete floor acts like a storage heater, keeping the room cosy even after the heat is turned off.
