Electric underfloor heating Vysal VYSA-MAT CLASSIC
Vysa-MatTMClassic is our latest design of cable and incorporates PTFE (Teflon), which is far superior to any other material for electric underfloor heating applications, as the insulation material. We now offer a 'lifetime guarantee' as Teflon is virtually indestructible.
The exceptionally small profile of the heating cable makes Vysa-MatTMClassic ideally suited to installation within the adhesive layer - the method preferred by professional floor tilers when laying ceramic tiles.
The ultra thin Vysa-MatTM Classic heating mats rated 100W/m2 to 200W/m2 can easily be fitted directly onto your existing tiled floor without needing remove it. Vysa-MatTM Classic can be installed within the thickness of the tile adhesives and therefore adds no significant height to the floor level. Consequently, there should be no requirement to reduce door heights, raise skirting boards etc.
Vysa-MatTM Classic heating mats rated 100W/m2 are ideal for refurbishment projects where they can be installed onto an existing floor structure
Vysa-MatTM Classic heating mats rated 150W/m2 would be suitable as a primary heating source in well insulated dwellings with a large surface area
Vysa-MatTM Classic heating mats rated 200W/m2 would be suitable as a primary heating source in not so well insulated dwellings with a smaller surface area. They are ideal for conservatories. large hallways and lobbies too - anywhere that you need more heat
According to BS EN 60 335 / IEC 335 Vysa-MatTM Classic 100W/m2 can be used directly on top of timber sub-floors without Vysa-PronTM thermal insulation. Vysa-MatTM Classic heating mats rated 150W/m2 can be used on timber sub-floors but BS EN 60 335 / IEC 335 recommends that the power rating must be confined to 100W/m2 unless you install Vysa-Pron thermal insulation on top of the timber sub-floor.
Normally, Vysa-MatTM Classic heating mats rated 100W/m2 would be chosen to simply provide a warm floor so that you have the comfort of walking on a floor that doesn't feel 'cold'.
Naturally, Vysa-MatTMClassic is a twin conductor design with a single 3 metre long 'cold tail' connections lead (only one connection cable to the thermostat).
Vysa-MatTMClassic is supplied together with a 2 metre length of 10mm flexible conduit for the floor sensor (supplied with the thermostats). We include a (red) bung in one end to prevent adhesive from entering the conduit and sticking to the floor sensor.
For the technically minded, Teflon is non-toxic and has excellent mechanical strength, tear resistance and flexibility. It is fire retardant and completely free from any thermal aging effects. It is completely biocompatible and unaffected by fungus, bacteria or mould growth. It is resistant to all chemicals used in building technology and is unaffected by prolonged exposure to UV radiation, sunlight and moisture.
