Underfloor Heating Loose Cables

Our loose cable system works brilliantly under ceramic and stone tiles. You can weave the cable under your tiles, adjust spacing to suit heat output (for instance, 150 W/m² at 65 mm or 200 W/m² at 50 mm), and then cover it with thin self-levelling compound or tile adhesive. This approach lets you deliver radiant heat evenly without raising the floor height too much.

Customisable for Awkward or Irregular Shapes

Loose cable systems shine in rooms with unusual shapes or lots of fixtures—like bathrooms with curved layouts or kitchens with built-in units. Unlike mats, you simply hand-lay the cable, making it much easier to manoeuvre around corners or obstacles. You can tailor the layout to your room and desired heat level every time.

Slim Profile and Fast Installation

These cables are very discreet—often under 2 mm thick—so your floor build-up stays minimal. That means quicker installation and no lengthy drying times. Generally, you prime the subfloor, lay the cable, tape it down, then apply tile adhesive or levelling compound before tiling over.

Efficient Heating, Flexible Output

With loose cable, you control the heat by changing the cable spacing. That flexibility lets you choose outputs suitable for background heating or as the primary heat source. It’s versatile—whether you need gentle warmth for a hallway or full-on cozy heat in a bathroom.

Durable, Low-Profile, and Energy-Smart

These cables are built to last, often featuring dual-insulated cores and fluoropolymer sheaths. That durability gives you peace of mind. And since the system heats the floor directly, it uses energy efficiently, helping reduce bills without compromising comfort
