The heat tape of the FlexHEAT system has the thinnest profile compared to any electric floor heating system in the market. In fact, out patented aluminum alloy heat tape is only 0.5mm (>0.1 inch) in thickness. This means raising the floor height is never an issue when installing the heat tape under the flooring of your choice.

FlexHEAT system's patented aluminum alloy heat tape covers a much larger portion of the floor to provide a better heat distribution compared to heating cable systems. The heat tape is also much wider than a typical heating cable which means fewer runs are required to cover the same area compared to the competition's system.

The FlexHEAT system utilizes low voltage to heat up the heating tape, therefore minimum energy is required for our patented heating element to start delivering the desired warmth. Additionally, since the FlexHEAT system covers a larger portion of the floor, the heat tape operates at a comfortable 28 – 30°C (82– 86°F) which translates to minimum energy consumption. While the thin heating cables require 12-15 Watts/SqFt to be effective, the FlexHEAT system only consumes 7 Watts/SqFt.  

The fact, that the heating tape is so thin also means that the generated heat can easily be sent forth to the surrounding area, while in case of a traditional cables, the heat is partly ‘stuck’ within the heating element itself and leading to a high temperature gradient as shown in the image below.

While cable based systems need to be buried deep into a cement layer to ensure they are safe for the user and the flooring, the FlexHEAT system is perfectly safe to be installed directly under all floor types. Often times, under floating floors such as laminate, LVT, engineered hardwood, the FlexHEAT system can be installed without the need for a cement layer saving you on installation costs.
