SHAKE OFF THE SHIVERS WITH SCHLÜTER
Schlüter-Systems have created two different systems designed to provide reliable underfloor heating in any area of a building.
When it comes to underfloor heating, you want to install a reliable system that is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the tile or stone covering. The two main types of system that are available include an electric system and a water- based (hydronic) system. Schlüter- Systems provide an effective, innovative solution for both of these.
THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM: SCHLÜTER-DITRA-HEAT-E
Not only have we introduced thermal break technology, there is also a new feature thermostat to accompany it; in total there are three thermostats to choose from in the range, a selection between analogue and digital. The new feature stat, Schlüter-DITRA- HEAT-E-R3, showcases a larger 8.9cm, digital, full colour touchscreen interface in a white clear gloss finish for the more style-conscious client. There is also a fully-programmable scheduler, selectable room influence and an energy consumption display for ultimate control.
Main benefits of using the Schlüter- DITRA-HEAT-E system include:
• Easy press to lay cable – no tape or glue
• No self-levelling layer or primer laying – time saved on application
Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E can be used in kitchens, wetrooms, bathrooms, en- suites and anywhere that tile and stone is to be installed. Due to the intelligent touchscreen thermostat, you can easily control temperatures and heating times, creating warm tile and stone whenever and wherever you choose.
It is quick to install as the uncoupling mat was designed with unique studs to allow the tile adhesive to mechanically lock into the dovetails. The cables fit directly between the uniform studs without the need for glue, tapes, marking, self-levellers and primers - therefore reducing the likelihood of mistakes, saving time and money.
Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-TB is the latest addition to the award-winning Schlüter- DITRA-HEAT-E underfloor heating range. The integration of a thermal break fleece on the underside of the uncoupling membrane pushes 80% of the heat to the surface for up to a 70% faster response time on concrete compared to other electric underfloor heating systems.

THE WATER-BASED SYSTEM: SCHLÜTER- BEKOTEC-THERM
Schlüter-BEKOTEC-THERM is a low height, energy-efficient and quick- reacting modular underfloor heating assembly. This system can be used in new build and renovation projects, and it is a greener choice with economical, energy-saving properties.
It’s low supply temperature of approximately 30°C, compared to between 50-55°C in some traditional systems, means Schlüter-BEKOTEC- THERM is extremely effective, both with conventional heat generation methods and regenerative energy sources, such as ground and air source heat pumps. Since the thinner screed requires much less material, the final construction is lighter and lower than traditional screed installations, saving considerable construction time.
Furthermore, it can be easily integrated into an existing heating system to provide underfloor heating for some rooms and radiators for others. Another major advantage is that it can also be used to cool the floor down in the summer, either via passive cooling of the unheated water or by pumping chilled water through the pipes.
The system also features a new range of thermostat and control modules, this new generation of room sensors and control modules significantly increases the flexibility and convenience of regulating the temperature of the room. As the core of the system, the base module, can be connected to a timer module for energy-saving temperature reduction. The connection modules for wired or wireless room sensors can be freely combined with the base module, which enables the flexible expansion of existing systems at any time. Modern wireless and wired room sensors allow for individual room temperature control to suit requirements. The Schlüter-BEKOTEC-THERM system can also be integrated with Building Management Systems (BMS).
