Vent-Axia, leaders in HEVAC technology, is adding another string to its bow with the introduction of an energy efficient, electric underfloor heating range; Bluethermal™.
The Bluethermal™ underfloor heating range is ideally suited to residential renovation and new build projects. Vent-Axia is providing three components as part of the range - the Bluethermal™ Mat, Bluethermal™ Cable and Bluethermal™ Thermostatic Controller, which can be used as a complete home heating solution or for single rooms in combination with other heating sources.
“Electric underfloor heating is an increasingly popular option for homes” says Richard Paine, Product and Marketing Manager of Vent-Axia’s Heating and Renewables division. “The cables are easy to install, operation is silent and there are no yearly maintenance costs and the heating is completely concealed. Our Bluethermal™ range will help contractors capitalise on these benefits and provide a solution which provides even, comfortable heating with running cost savings in the region of 5-10% over other conventional electric heating systems”.
For projects which require a minimum floor thickness Vent-Axia’s Bluethermal™ Mat is the perfect option. With a total thickness of only 4.5mm, the 50cm wide heating mat consists of a thin twin conductor heating cable attached to an adhesive flexible glass fibre net. The 100 W/m² version can be installed on any type of levelled and stable sub floor and can be used under parquet or other wooden floor coverings, whereas, the 150 W/m² option must be installed on a non-combustible levelled and stable sub floor.
Installed as an embedded heating cable, the Bluethermal™ Cable offers outputs between 0.6kw to 3.3kw with a linear load of 17 W/m, this solution gives greater flexibility to adjust the heat output to the exacting requirements of the project. Vent-Axia recommends using its Bluethermal™ Thermostatic controller to monitor both the floor and air temperature to provide maximum control.
