PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Electric underfloor heating mats HAKL TFX 100 have a power input of 100 W per square metre and a standard strip width of 0.5 m. They are connected to the mains using a single connecting cable 3 metres long.  For the most efficient operation, it is recommended 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 providing sufficient thermal insulation under the underfloor heating. Thanks to 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 mats HAKL TFX 100 are designed for wet installation, embedded in adhesive mortar directly under the floor covering. This floor structure achieves what is known as "DIRECT HEATING". The heating mat is placed between the floor covering and the thermal insulation, which causes a fast heating start-up. Therefore they are recommended for laying, for example, in temporarily used rooms, or during renovations where there is not enough space to raise the floor.

HEATING CABLE

Heating cables HAKL TFX feature a high-quality heating core - the resistance wire comes from the renowned Swedish manufacturer KANTHAL. The sheath of the heating cable is made of a highly heat-resistant material, with a total cable thickness of 3 mm, which 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 up to 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 mat is subjected to an output load test, during which the joints are tested, insulation breakdown is measured, total cable resistance, etc...
This record of piece testing is stated in the Quality Certificate. The product must meet the parameters 100% before it can leave the production line.
