Primary Heating for your Home
Tuff Cable Systems
| In new pour installations, like new kitchens and bathrooms, Tuff Cable is set 2" below the surface and spaced 4" apart. The heating element is attached to remesh (welded wire fabric) which acts as an anchor for the Tuff Cable. The concrete or mortar are then poured over the top and the system is controlled by a thermostat with an in-floor sensor or an ambient thermostat. |
|
| As shown in this sand bed of a new concrete poured kitchen, Tuff Cable is a safe, durable 10 gauge coated copper element that is chemical and gasoline resistant. It is designed to be installed in concrete, mortar bed or thinset. It can also be used outside as a snow and ice melting system in asphalt or in a Heat Sink Kit under metal roofs. |
|
| Tuff Cable can also be retrofitted into existing concrete slabs. Grooves are saw cut into the surface 1/4" wide and 1" deep. Tuff Cable is installed in the grooves and filled with Backer Rod then sealed with a concrete sealer. |
