PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The electric underfloor heating mats HAKL TFX 150 have an output of 150 W per square metre and a standard strip width of 0.5 m. They connect to the electrical network by means of a single 3-metre connection cable.  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 ensuring sufficient thermal insulation beneath 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

The heating mats HAKL TFX 150 are designed for wet installation, embedded in adhesive mortar directly beneath 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 results in a fast heating response. It is therefore recommended for temporarily used spaces, or for renovations where there is not enough room to raise the floor level.

HEATING CABLE

The heating cables HAKL TFX feature a high-quality heating core - the resistance wire is supplied by the renowned Swedish manufacturer KANTHAL. The cable sheath is made of highly heat-resistant material, with a total cable thickness of 3 mm, which does not deform even under prolonged heating. When the underfloor heating is wired without a thermostat, the heating cable heats up to a maximum of 65°C, while its 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, toilet…)

QUALITY CERTIFICATE

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