 Free Standing Cables
Free standing electric radiant heating cables are typically use for large areas of tile or stone for two reason. First, in a large area it is easy to run the cables back and forth. This also includes odd shaped rooms. The second reason is price. An electric mat system tends to be more expensive in larger areas than a free standing electric cable heating system. Free standing cable also has the ability to be installed in new pour concrete for basements and light weight concrete applications.
Cable Options
When selecting free standing electric cable systems the main difference between products is the voltage. Low voltage systems operate between 5 and 59 volts where as line voltage products are either 120 or 220 volts.
