It is important to measure the room  correctly and avoid all permanent fixtures such as baths, 
showers, kitchen and bedroom units, (rem ember also that it is important to avoid thermally 
blocking the heated area as this will result in localised heat build up and possible subsequent 
damage to the floor covering. Allowing for perimeter clearance deduct a further 5% to r each 
the actual available heated floor area. 
 

Output requirements. 

 
Apart from timber floors where 100 W /m² output is recommended, install the optimum  heat 
level possible for the available floor area. 
Referring to the tables shown below the cable spacings can be varied to achieve differing 
heat levels.  
 

160 W/m²  for optimum output 

130 W/m²  f or comfort heating and
