The Elektra VCD Cable is installed in rooms which are under construction and the floor is not finished. It generally serves as primary heating and is the only source of heat in the room. When it serves as a supplementary heating source ("The Warm Floor Effect"), a primary heating system is required. The Cable is installed on top of a insulation using either a staple or a fixing strap to secure the cable until the screed is laid.

Suitable Floor Constructions

  • Solid / Screed
  • Beam & Block

Suitable Floor Finishes

  • Tiles
  • Wood
  • Vinyl
  • Carpet

Notes

  • Insulation should be rigid PIR.
  • Some insulation / screed combinations require a vapour barrier to be installed directly on the insulation before you install the cable and lay the screed.
  • To comply with building regulations, you should use a minimum 65mm sand / cement screed or 50mm pumped screed.
