The heat pattern from heaters and radiators shows that much of the heat rises to the ceiling and is lost through windows, leaving the living area of the room as the last area to heat up.
With Warmup Undercarpet Heating the heat rises gently through the room, delivering heat directly to the living area with minimum heat loss.
Safe
Warmup undercarpet heaters are safety tested and are completely waterproof. It is encased in a tough “earth shield” which withstands heavy traffic and eliminates the risk of electric shock.
Unobtrusive
Discreetly hidden from view, this wafer-thin heater lies hidden between the carpet and underlay. There are no visible elements or radiators. No summertime storage problems.
Technology
Warmup components have the benefit of over 30 years of European technology for applications that demand high flexibility, continuous operation at high temperatures and long working life.
Carpet Type
Under any modern polypropylene or hessian-backed and woven carpet. Even coir or sisal carpets, but not under rubber or foam-backed carpets.
Control
While Warmup heaters have been designed to never overheat – and may be left on continuously – timers and thermostats are available as optional extras for additional control.
Installation
Quickly installed under new or existing carpets by any competent carpet fitter, or
D-I-Y installations under loose rugs.
Underlay
A good quality acrylic underlay will prevent downward heat loss, a minimum of 1000gsm should be used. Belgotex, Orange Underlay, is also compatible.
Economical
This is not underfloor heating, and is effective within 30 minutes of switch-on. You heat the area you need, when you need it. To give you an idea of the economy of Warmup, a UC250 (70 x 180cm) undercarpet heater uses less power than three 100 watt light bulbs.
Guarantee
A 5 year factory-backed warranty is provided. Warranty forms are issued with each heater.
Robust Core Wire
Spring like flexibility.
Rayon core acts as a durable cushion, and copes adequately with heavy furniture, snooker tables, stiletto heels and the like.
Repairable
The heating systems are all robustly designed.
However, where accidental damage occurs, the heating system can be conveniently repaired by an approved technician.
Foil-base
Safety “earth shield” over internal wiring.
Ensures even heat distribution.
Withstands heavy traffic.
Waterproof
Safety
Foil base forms safety “earth shield” against accidental puncture or damage.
Heaters designed to never overheat.
Foil base and cable is waterproof.
Control
Simple to operate.
Simply switch on or off at a wall socket.
Warmup heaters may be left on continuously.
Thermostats and timers are optional extras.
Underlay
A good acrylic underlay prevents downward heat loss.
A minimum of 1000gsm underlay should be used.
Multi-Orientation
Reversible heating pads.
Multi-orientation of the heater pad adapts to the location of the power unit.
Undercarpet heating Formula
Calculate in square meters.
EG. Main bedroom is 4.00 x 4.50m = 18m2.
18m2 x 80 watts heat = 1440 watts required.
Therefore a 1500 watt will heat the required area.
Important
Very cold rooms, high ceilings and open plan areas should be calculated at 100 watts per square meter rather than 80 watts per square meter for required heat.
