Underfloor Heating Cables, Electric Underfloor Heating 

FLEXFLOOR heating cables permit floor heating of the inside and outside. These heating cables are particularly hard-wearing and are used for applications set in concrete slabs (KYCY and KYCYR).

KYCY heating cables are particularly hard-wearing and are used for applications set in concrete slabs to protect against freezing or to maintain a temperature. The cables must be set in accordance with the local regulations in force. KY heating cables are for applications in which mechanical resistance is not so critical. To ensure that these heating elements enjoy a long service life, we recommend using a control device.
