Hotwire Under Tile Heating System 500 Watts 2.7-3.3m2

Under Tile Heating is perfect for the Australian climate. The 4mm thick element is placed directly on top of the sub floor and the flooring simply laid over the top. As the element is so close to the floor surface your home will be warm in 30-60 minutes. (Some on site conditions can affect this)

You can cover an area as small as 1m2 through to the biggest living areas. Hotwire provides beautiful, cozy, even heat for all parts of the home and is especially suitable for wet areas. It is perfect for a bathroom as the heating will not only heat the floor but also dry the floor meaning less mould and therefore less cleaning.

Good to know

Is under tile heating safe? Yes it is, completely. Here is the boring technical information. All HOTWIRE™ under tile heating elements exceed the requirements of IEC800 standard for heating cables. We recommend the installation of a Residual Current Device. The element is silent and there are no odours. We use the latest technology in the manufacture of HOTWIRE™ elements. The element is insulated with two layers of PTFE Teflon for added safety and protection. The Earth is a full copper braided screen. The heating wire is multi strand, which provides flexibility and durability.

Do under tile heating systems require any maintenance? No. HOTWIRE™ is a maintenance free heating system. There are no heating ducts or filters to clean and the heating element does not have any moving parts to replace or overhaul. Be sure to consult with your installer to determine cable location prior to drilling. We recommend alternative to drilling holes in the tile for doorstops and other fixtures.

How long does it take to heat the room? The timer will switch the element on and the tiles will heat up within 20 minutes. The room will be warm within 30 -60 minutes depending on the design, ceiling height, and insulation standards.

Can Hotwire be installed under carpet or wooden flooring? Yes it can. You will just to check the manufacturers specifications of the product you are using.

Can I install floor heating myself? No. Floor heating in Australia must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor. Check with your local electrician if you are unsure.

Will floor heating crack my tiles? No. Tiles are fired in a kiln at very high temperatures, so a floor heating element will not damage the tiles or grout. Many retail tile stores sell and recommend Hotwire alongside their tiles for this reason.
