FAQs

Can I cut the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable to size?

No, the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable cannot be cut or shortened. Its series-type construction means cutting it would sever the heating element. You must plan your layout to fit your specific room dimensions without cutting.

What is the output of the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable?

The cable has an output of 10W per linear meter.

What floor coverings are compatible?

This cable is suitable for use under tile, stone, and certain types of vinyl flooring. Always check with your specific floor covering manufacturer for compatibility confirmation.

Do I need a special thermostat?

While it works with most standard underfloor heating thermostats, it's recommended to use a thermostat designed for electric underfloor heating systems. Ensure the thermostat's specifications match the cable's requirements.

What does the CableSafe Guarantee cover?

The CableSafe Guarantee provides a free replacement of the heating cable if it is accidentally cut during the installation process.

How much cable do I need?

It is recommended to order a kit that covers approximately 90% of your floor space. Measure your room carefully and select a cable length that fits within this guideline, ensuring adequate spacing between runs.

Can this be used as a primary heat source?

Yes, it can be used as a primary heat source in smaller rooms like bathrooms or conservatories. In larger rooms, it typically serves as a comfortable secondary heat source.

Troubleshooting

Cable not heating

Check thermostat settings and power supply. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and have been tested by a qualified electrician. Verify cable continuity with a multimeter (requires professional testing).

Uneven heating

Ensure cable spacing was consistent during installation. Check for any potential obstructions or damage to the cable.

Thermostat not responding

Verify thermostat power supply and programming. Ensure the floor probe is correctly positioned and connected.

Accidental cable cut during installation

Contact ProWarm customer support immediately. The CableSafe Guarantee covers free replacement.

  2. Install Conduit: If required by local regulations or for electrical safety, install the provided conduit for the thermostat probe.
  3. Apply Primer: Use the provided ProWarm Ultraprime floor primer and roller for even application to the subfloor. Allow to dry completely.
  4. Position Cable: Secure the ProWarm Underfloor Heating Cable to the subfloor using the adhesive tape, maintaining consistent spacing. Avoid kinking or crossing the cable.
  5. Connect Thermostat: Connect the cable's cold lead to your chosen thermostat (sold separately). Ensure all electrical connections are made by a qualified electrician.
  6. Install Floor Covering: Once the adhesive is set and connections are verified, install your chosen floor covering (tile, stone, vinyl etc.) over the cable, following the floor covering manufacturer's guidelines.

Compatibility:

  • Floor Types: Suitable for use under tile, stone, and some vinyl flooring. Consult flooring manufacturer for specific compatibility.
  • Thermostats: Compatible with most standard underfloor heating thermostats. Always check thermostat specifications.
  • Substrates: Can be installed on concrete, screed, or suitable timber subfloors.

Care:
