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. |
