Why are there 2 different types of mat - one for timber and one for concrete floors?
|
|
| The DEVIMATs have been tested to the European standard IEC335/EN60335, it is recommended that no higher than 100W/m2 should be installed on a timber floor, as safety is paramount, we adhere to this instruction. It has been found that concrete absorbs heat at a higher rate than timber, therefore a mat with an output of 150W/m2 have been developed to counter-act this. |

I have seen some products that are just a cable or thin foil, why is the DEVIMAT a cable on a mesh?
|
|
| During the product research, it was discovered, that it was more desirable for the heating element to become an integral part of the floor rather than a foil type that separates the tile adhesive from the floor. It is a better solution for the customer to have a product with pre-determined spacing for the heating element. |

Is it expensive to run?
|
|
| The DEVIMAT system only uses as much electricity as a standard light bulb per square metre. The on-off cycling effect of the floor temperature sensing thermostat can reduce this by as much as 50%. |

Will the heat affect the tile adhesive or tiles?
|
|
| The warmed ceramic tiled floors will run with a surface temperature of about 22°C and the adhesive under the tiles will be a few degrees higher. This temperature will have no effect on the tiles or the tile adhesive. This has been confirmed by the majority of the leading adhesive manufacturers. |

How long will the system last?
|
|
| Once the DEVIMAT is installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions, the cable should last as long as the other electrical wiring in the building. |

Will the system fully heat the room?
|
|
| The DEVIMAT system is used to provide a comfortable warm surface and keep floors dry in areas where water can splash. The DEVIMAT will provide a background temperature in a room and, where outside temperatures permit, will heat the room too. |
