Sizing a room for the Warm Floor Kit:
Step 1. Multiply the room length by the room width to determine total square footage.
Step 2. Subtract the areas under cabinets, 6" from wall perimeters, and other areas where cables won’t be installed.
Note: The National Electrical Code does not allow electric heating cables to be spaced closer than 1 inch, in closets or under cabinetry. (See National Electrical Code, Article 424-44)
Step 3. Refer to square foot coverage of surface area for warm floor kit selection.
