Electrical Floor Heating

Wall to wall carpets

Wall-to-wall carpets are warm in themselves. But a carpeted floor can still be heated to advantage using DEVI underfloor heating.

The heating cables or mats must, however, be covered with a layer of tile mortar or self-levelling floor screed with a minimum thickness of 6 mm. This provides good, even distribution of heat over the floor’s surface.

Carpets have an insulating effect
Carpets have a slight insulating effect on underfloor heating. This means that an underfloor heating system installed beneath a thick woollen carpet may take slightly longer to react to changes in the room’s temperature.

 

Product Choice

DEVI recommends that carpets only have a maximum insulation value of 1.5 TOG (R-value 0.15 m²K/W)*.

Contact your carpet supplier for information on the best carpet to use with underfloor heating.   

Choose Devireg™ 130/530 or a timer thermostat Devireg™550 or 535 to adjust the temperature to your daily rhythm and in that way save energy. Devireg™ 535 includes a floor sensor which will keep your floor warm regardless of the time of year.
Choose Devilink for an advanced, wireless, easy-to-understand heating.

When renovating we recommend using Devimat™ DTIF or Devimat™/Deviflex™ DTIR to ensure a low building height when installing floor heating on an existing floor. Alternatively, Devidry™ that can be installed directly under the carpet as a dry installation. Devidry™ the right controller is in the DevidryTM Kit. The TOG value when using Devidry™ should not exceed 1,1 according to the standard for removable floors.

For new build where the cables or mats are installed in the concrete slab, we recommend using Deviflex™ DTIP, Deviflex™ DTIE, Devimat™ DTIP or Devimat™ DTIE.
