UltraTec
UltraTec is probably the thinnest and strongest under tile heating cable available in the UK, reducing the amount of tile adhesive or self-levelling compound you need to cover the cable.
Suitable Floor Constructions
- Solid / Screed
- Beam & Block
- Suspended Timber
- Batten Floor
Suitable Floor Finishes
- Tiles
- Wood
- Vinyl
- Carpet
Notes
- Insulation is optional underneath the heating mats but it will reduce the warmup time and reduce running costs so it should always be used if possible.
- If the floor finish is tiles, then you can either use flexible tile adhesive directly on the heating cable or self-level over the heating cable then fix the tiles with flexible tile adhesive.
- If you're going to use UltraTec heating cables under wood, vinyl or carpet, then you will need to use a leveling compound over the mat before insalling the floor finish.
