10. Surface Application

For Concrete Applications: Proceed with applying 

concrete.   Ensure that the concrete covers the entire 

heating element and the connection between the heating 

cable and cold leads. Great care should be taken to not damage 

the heating cables by impacting, cutting or other abuse. 

For Asphalt Applications: Heatizon Systems heating cable is of 

high quality and durable construction.  As a result, it can tolerate 

the heat and compression of newly poured asphalt with some 

modification. The heating cables can tolerate 464°F(240°C) for 

30 minutes. For single pour asphalt, cover the heating element 

with 1/2” of substrate material prior to installing asphalt  per 

the directions   below. For both single and two pour asphalt 

installations place a layer of asphalt at least 1/2 inch thick over the 

cables by hand, and roll with a roller of approximately 1.5 ton size.  This will protect the heating 

cables from damage by tools or paving equipment and will protect the cable from heat during 

placement of the main pour.  Continuously check the insulation resistance of the  heating cables 

to verify that the cables are not damaged during placement of the asphalt. Continue with the 

main pour.

For Paver Applications: Proceed with the installation by covering 

the heating cable with a layer of sand or stone dust. Ensure that 

the sand or stone dust covers the entire heating element and 

the connection between the heating element  and cold leads 

before the pavers are installed. Great care should be taken to 

not damage the heating cables by impacting, cutting or other 

abuse. 

For Stone or Tile with Mortar 

Applications: Cover the heating cable 

with mortar to completely embed 

them and allow it to set. Allowing the 

first layer of mortar to set will protect 

the heating cables during the final 

installation and the setting bed for 

stone or tile. Install the Stone or Tile 

and keep note that the final cable 

depth of the cable from the surface 

should be 2”. Great care should be taken to not damage the heating 

cables by impacting, cutting or other abuse.
