HOTWIRE In Screed Heating DIY Kit including touchscreen controller for 8.5-10.8 SQM
Heating is a must if you wish to avoid the harshness of stone cold tiles in winter. You can set on/off times throughout the day or control it manually or by a thermostat. These systems add value to your home and cheap to run due to their low watt usage. The Hotwire system is the simplest to install and perfect for a DIY project. It is the only system that can be installed into small spaces so you have no cold spots. The kit includes a fully SAA compliant heating element and programmable touch screen thermostat/timer controller. Full DIY installation instructions and videos are available online. The Hotwire In Screed Heating kits are the most versatile on the market. As the wire element can be coiled into narrow spaces (which is not possible with wire-on-mat systems) you get no cold spots on your floor. Heating can augment your existing heating or be a total solution Have you ever been in a traditionally heated tiled room? The room feels warm at head height, but the floor is cold and it is not comfortable walking in bare feet. Under floor heating can be your entire heating solution, or it can simply augment your other heating systems. Did you know that ducted heating can cause a temperature difference of up to 12 degrees between the floor and ceiling? In Screed heating heats uniformly from the floor to ceiling and will also save you hundreds of dollars in the long run compared to bathroom heat lamps. As a total bathroom heating solution its running costs are significantly cheaper that other heating solutions.

How to measure your floor? The length of your HOTWIRE In Screed Heating coil is based on the square meterage of space that you would like to cover. Generally, this doesn't include the area under fixed units such as vanities, cupboards, baths etc. Once the square meterage of the room or space you want to heat has been determined, find the kit that will cover your required space. For example, say your bathroom is 4 square meters but with a permanently fixed vanity and shower, only 3 square meters of tiling will be pulled up. You will select the 2.00 - 3.10 kit. The calculated price includes all of the installation hardware within the kit as well as the touch screen thermostat.
