Nexans employs people and had sales in 2006 of euros billion. Nexans know-how and innovation skills are used for developing increasingly competitive cables for any industry; from energy networks and telecommunications to railway projects, the oil and gas industry etc. Solutions for all room types Nexans underfloor heating is ideal in most types of rooms, for example; bathrooms, toilets, hallways, living rooms, kitchens and rooms where children play. The floor is a large area with a low surface temperature. Producing heat under the floor however will ensure radiant heat from the floor and a favourable heat distribution throughout the room. In new buildings, a decision can be taken during the planning phase as to which rooms are designed to have underfloor heating. This allows for a unique opportunity to design a tailormade TXLP underfloor heating system for optimal comfort and efficient use of energy.

3 Nexans heating solutions for your country TXLP/1 and TXLP/2R heating cable units are ideal for direct floor warming in concrete floor constructions. Each unit has a factory made integrated splice, which is marked on the cable surface. They have a linear load of 10 or 17 W/m (3 or 5.2 W/ft) at 230 VAC. We normally recommend laying the heating cable units in a mm thick screed/concrete layer, which can later be decorated using tiles, parquet flooring, laminated wood, wall-to-wall carpets or other floor coverings. The heating cable units can also be installed directly in suspended wooden floors. Thermostat control A thermostat will automatically maintain the desired temperature in a room by turning the heating on and off as rquired. An electronic thermostat including floor sensor will secure a comfortable heat in floors, for example in a bathroom or entrance hall. It might also be used to ensure dry and non-slippery floors in entrances, washing rooms, shops or other public areas. TXLP/1 Single conductor heating cable unit TXLP/2R Twin conductor heating cable unit Floor constructions: An optimal installation for bathroom floors where both the positioning of the cables and the floor construction are taken into consideration is shown below: Ceramic tiles Tile adhesive Membrane mm concrete Heating Cable attached to chicken wire 13 mm plaster (gypsum) slabs Lower floor over well insulated wooden beams The screed/ concrete should be laid so that the floor slopes downwards towards the drain. This ensures that all water falling on the floor drains away. In a bathroom it is very important that the screed/concrete layer is uniform and non-porous.

6 You will get more than warm floors when you choose underfloor heating from Nexans Using electricity for heating your home is becoming more and more popular. Once you have decided to use electricity to heat your home your choice of heating appliances are numerous. Underfloor heating is becoming the obvious choice for many. High comfort The heat is emitted from the floor heating the surrounding air and surfaces, thus the temperature will be even throughout the room. The result is comfortable warmth, which is easy to control room by room. Energy savings When you compare wall mounted heating with underfloor heating, it s proven that you can have a 2-3 C lower temperature setting to achieve the same comfort level. This results in a potential 5-10% reduction of energy consumption. Health benefits Underfloor heating is a perfect solution for those who suffer from dust allergies and asthma, as no dust gathering occurs as with wall mounted appliances Economical and easy installation Nexans heating cables are installation friendly due to their technical product features. They are also economical as they incur no yearly maintenance cost; further energy savings are obtained by using individual thermostats to control the heat.
