Description

HILOflex 18 is a high-quality heating cable made by Scandinavian traditions, combining the best innovations and environment-friendly design. The heating cable ensures high reliability with innovative high-temperature resistant twin conductors’ insulation, making it very strong and durable. In addition, it is energy-efficient and delivers comfort with a quick heat up and even floor heat distribution. HILOflex 18 is highly flexible and easily placed around any area or floor layout within thin or thick floor constructions. HILØ heating cable is a perfect solution for new or renovated floors and cold zone heating by the large windows.

HILOflex 18 can be directly laid in/on a concrete base or on old tiles in the bathroom, kitchen, living room, children’s room, bedroom, and other premises under tiles, marble, granite or carpet, and vinyl flooring. Also, HILOflex 18 heating cable can be used in outdoor applications for frost protection of steps under the tiles or stone directly laying cable in tile adhesive layer.

With HILOflex 18 heating cable, you will enjoy the room’s ideal microclimate and have a healthier environment. Electrical underfloor heating minimises dust circulated in the rooms and reduces possible allergens effect. In addition, HILØ heating cables are energy efficient, ensure even temperature distribution in the rooms, and use less energy than traditional heating systems. HILOflex 18 combined with HILOEco thermostat increases energy savings and provides pleasant warmth at your home.

With a one-point power cable connection, the installation is simple and faster using installation tape. HILOfast installation tape helps to fix the heating cable on the floor at an even distance to ensure even heat distribution in the room. You will complete the task fast, just in a few simple steps. First, lay the HILOflex 18 on the floor, easily fix it to the HILOfast, and simply connect to the thermostat. Quick heating cable installation, saves your as well as qualified electrical installers time, so your installation bill is greatly reduced. For your convenience, we have added the gift–corrugated pipe for the thermostat floor sensor.
HILOflex 18 is a maintenance-free and long-lasting system that runs over 30 years. Once installing a HILØ cable, you can forget about maintenance costs and enjoy a warm floor at your home.

HILOflex 18 is designed with its 100%protective aluminium and a multiwire screen, combined with twin conductor cable technology to ensure a better indoor climate. We care about your safety and environment, so we made HILØ cables halogen-free. Safe for you and good for the environment.

The HILOfast installation tape is necessary to fix the heating cable at a C-C distance, to install the heating cable evenly in the room, and ensure even heating distribution through the area.

The distance between installation tapes should be 0,3-0,5m.

The minimal distance between the cables should be 5 cm. For example, when installing the HILOflex 10 heating cable, the distance usually is 8-10 cm, and for the HILOflex 18, the distance is 12-15 cm. The distance between heating cables depends on the installed power output per square meter.

 

The C-C distance between the heating cables should be calculated as follows:

C-C = Heated area (m²)/ Cable length (m)

C-C= 10 m² / 69m = 0,145m = 14,5cm.

The HILOfast tape has hooks with a distance of 2 cm, so after calculating the distance between the cables, you can calculate to which hook the heating cable should be attached.

The heating cable HILOflex 10 and HILOflex 18 differ in power output per meter. The HILOflex 10 heating cable output is 10W/m and HILOflex 18 – 18W/m.

No, the heating cable thickness does not affect the heating of the cable. Thin floor heating cables are “new generation” heating cables with temperature resistant fluoropolymer insulation. They are stronger, flexible, durable, lighter and faster, and easier to install.

The heating cable has a braided copper screen and an additional aluminium foil, so it stays in the folded position when bent. As a result, installing the heating cable with “memory” is easier and faster, also it saves installation time and cost.

Usually, one heating cable is not enough in a large area or room. Therefore, two or three heating cables can be installed and connected to one or more thermostats.

Two cables can be connected to one thermostat, but the total power of heating cables should not exceed 14 A – 16A, the power controlled by the thermostat. The total installed power should not exceed 3.2kW – 3.6kW accordingly.

A thin floor heating cable is better than a thick one. A thin heating cable is a new generation cable, where each conductor core is insulated individually with a high-temperature fluoropolymer. These cables are of high quality, durable and reliable.

Meanwhile, the thick heating cable insulation is polyethene, which maintains only lower temperatures.

Yes, it is possible to extend the connection cable. For example, the connection cable can be extended up to 20 meters with 3×2,5mm² power cable.

Yes, the floor temperature sensor cable can be extended up to 50 m with a copper cable of not less than 2×15 mm². Please contact the HILO Heat specialist if you need to extend the roof and ground sensors.

The maximum thickness depends on the surface of the flooring:

  • for wood surfaces – 20-30 mm;
  • for laminates – standard thicknesses according to their technical characteristics;

Usually, there are no restrictions on tile and carpeting thickness.

Please note that most laminates and carpeting are designed to use for heated floors.
