PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Electric underfloor heating cables HAKL TC 10 have an output of 10 W per metre of cable. They connect to the mains using two connecting cables 3 metres long.  For the most efficient operation, it is advisable to install a HAKL TH thermostat with a floor sensor in each room. You can also save energy - and money - by choosing the right floor covering and sufficient thermal insulation under the underfloor heating. Thanks to its maintenance-free operation, HAKL underfloor heating meets even the most demanding requirements for quality and comfort.
Before installation, the manufacturer recommends reading the installation manual carefully, where you will find a detailed description of the product and its wiring.

FLOOR STRUCTURE

Heating cables HAKL TC 10 are designed for wet installation, embedded in a concrete mix with a maximum thickness of 8 cm. This floor structure achieves what is known as "STORAGE HEATING". The heating cable is placed under the concrete layer above the thermal insulation. This floor composition means that the heat energy accumulated in the concrete radiates heat into the room for a long time after the heating is switched off. Heating cables HAKL TC 10 are recommended for installation as the main heat source in new buildings, where raising the floor level is not an issue.

HEATING CABLE

HAKL TC heating cables feature a high-quality heating core - the resistance wire comes from the renowned Swedish manufacturer KANTHAL. The sheath of the TC heating cable has a diameter of 6 mm. It is thicker than the cable used in TF and TFX heating mats. A cable of this size withstands sharp stone fragments found in the concrete mix. It is made of a highly heat-resistant material that does not deform even during prolonged heating. When underfloor heating is connected without a thermostat, the heating cable heats up to a maximum of 65°C, while the melting point is as high as 1100 °C. 
The heating cables themselves are protected by a dense metal protective braid, which increases their durability and allows installation in damp areas (bathroom, WC…)

QUALITY CERTIFICATE

Every single heating cable is subjected to a final load test, during which the joints are tested, insulation breakdown is measured, the overall cable resistance, etc...
This record of individual piece testing is stated in the Quality Certificate. The product must meet the parameters 100% before it can leave the production line.
