The damage of the heating cable insulation due to the steel reinforcement led to a short circuit and complete interruption of the cable.
We’ve prepared a new chapter "The most common causes of failures" for you, where we will gradually add illustrative examples of the mistakes, that can occur during the installation of our products. You can find the chapter in the Support section.
The cut in the heating cable was repaired with a breakable terminal block and insulated with black electrical insulating PVC tape. As the several layers of adhesive tape show, the person in question certainly didn´t want to underestimate the repair….
The unprofessionally performed repair of heating cables results, unnecessarily, in significantly higher damage.
This is one case when an investor asked for our opinion before the floor was covered. The heating cables are insufficiently attached, the clips are too far apart, and the cable is “floating” on the floor. If the screed had been poured, the cables may have come into contact with one another or even crossed, which would have led to the overheating and interruption of the cable. In the right half of the photo, there are loose cables in the immediate vicinity of the floor probe gooseneck, which would have...
The most common mistakes when laying heating cables and mats
Virtually the whole connector has been pulled into the perimeter wall, where there is no reliable heat dissipation. The second mistake is the bending of the heating cable immediately after the connector – heating and the different expansion of materials in the bend create cyclic mechanical stress on the joint, which can lead to its interruption
A very common mistake is the damaging or incorrectly placement of heating cable connectors.
Programmable touch-screen thermostat FENIX TFT
A programmable touch-screen thermostat suitable for electric radiant floor and ceiling heating. Features a large number of properties accessible via the simple interface of its touch-screen display – an easy and clear way of setting the required functions for the optimization of heating comfort and minimizing operating costs.
Thermostat TFT-2
Colour touch screen (optional background colour); the outer white cover is composed of two exchangeable parts (frame/cover) which enable the colour of the thermostat to be changed.
Since the beginning of 2016, we have improved the structure of one of our bestselling PSV heating cables.
halogen free
FENIX is introducing halogen-free power supply leads (under the Halogen FREE logo) for its heating mats and heating cables designed for floor heating.
Heating cable for semi-storage heating
Heating cables in a layer of thermally conductive material (anhydrite, concrete…). They are easy to install, even in surfaces with a complicated shape. They are particularly suitable for use as main heating systems.
AL MAT heating mats
They are intended to be used under laminate and wooden floating floors installed in what are classified as humid areas – e.g. in bathrooms. They are a variant of ECOFILM heating foils for applications where ECOFILM cannot be used.
