TERMOFOL

The most important parameter to pay attention to when choosing infrared heating foils is their power. The foil should be adapted to the size of the room for which the required unit thermal power is calculated in the design. TERMOFOL offers foils with several types of power expressed in W/m². Just choose the appropriate variant and match it to the design assumptions.

If the facility does not have appropriate calculations, you can independently estimate how much power the devices will need. It is worth remembering that all infrared heating foils have the same power consumption. The only difference is how quickly the room will be heated and comfortable. Therefore, it is worth choosing heating foils with higher power, the effects of which will be visible very quickly.

The next step during the purchase is to determine the amount of foil that will be needed. The best solution will be to cover the entire floor with infrared heating foil. You can subtract the space that will be covered with permanent construction, under which no foil is placed. It is not worth looking for apparent savings and laying the foil only on a part of the surface. This may cause the room to heat up slower, which will be especially troublesome during frosts.

An important aspect is also the selection of an appropriate thermoregulator that will be used to control the heating. It is permanently mounted in the wall, from where you can regulate the temperature. When shopping at TERMOFOL, you can use the advice of our experts who will help you choose the right thermoregulator for a given heating foil.

The heating foil, unlike classic cables or heating mats, heats the entire surface and not only locally through a high-temperature cable, so we can install it under any surface. The heating foil uses 50% less electricity than a traditional heating mat.

We only install the heating foil under furniture that has legs that are at least 3 cm high. Installation under permanent structures, e.g. under kitchen furniture or wall units, is prohibited.

The heating foil is a safe product and has been tested by research units accredited by the European Commission.

The heating foil is a stand-alone system that guarantees heat when used as the only heat source.

Electricity consumption depends only on the building’s insulation. Based on the data contained in the document whose name is the building’s energy performance, we can determine the actual operating costs.

It is forbidden to combine foils of different strengths.

Yes. You can freely combine different foil widths with the same rated power (xx/m2).

The warranty for heating foils installed by an Authorized Installer is 15 years, and in the case of self-assembly, 6 years.

The product lifespan is 100 years.

The heating foil should be selected based on design data. If you want to choose the product yourself, in the case of well-insulated, new buildings, a foil with a power of 80W/m² will be appropriate, for medium insulation – a foil with a power of 140W/m², and for poorly insulated buildings – a foil with a power of 220W/m².

The substrate should be dry and even. Insulation should be applied to the concrete layer and the heating foil will be installed on it.

The type of heating system depends on the material that will be used to finish the floors. In the case of a direct system, you can finish the floor using floor panels suitable for underfloor heating. If you want to use glued floors, you must choose an accumulation system and finish the floors after the screed dries.

Installation by an Authorized Installer is a guarantee of a properly constructed system and a longer manufacturer’s warranty – 15 years. An authorized installer undergoes annual training and is able to properly select and install our products.

Infrared heating foil, or heating foil, is a high-quality product that will work in almost every case. It is ideally suited as surface heating, with particular emphasis on underfloor, ceiling and wall heating. It can be safely said that the quality of workmanship combined with wide functionality makes it irreplaceable in its field.

The heating foil works based on the electrical resistance of carbon. Infrared heating foil consists of carefully selected carbon and aluminum paste applied using modern technology (printing technique) to PET foil. This material is characterized by excellent insulating and fire-resistant properties. The PET foil was secured with a special LAMINEX foil. The copper tape electrode acts as a conductor of electric current, while the silver tape provides protection against sparking.

Heat is generated using electrical resistance on special graphite heating belts. The heating power depends on the distance between the above-mentioned strips, the width and the amount of graphite used. Heating foils with a relatively low power are perfect for alternative heating (the comfort of a warm floor), and with a higher power as a basic heating system.

Our offer includes many different models of heating foils, differing primarily in power – from 80 W/m² to even 400 W/m². Weaker solutions, although they perfectly cover the demand for thermal power, are characterized by a relatively significant time delay (longer waiting time to obtain the set parameters). We personally recommend stronger heating foils (from 140 W/m²) in the case of which the time delay is small, which translates into maximum thermal comfort in the room. NOTE: Regardless of the thermal power, the energy demand is the same. The only difference is the heating time and the electricity consumption is the same! Underfloor heating using foil with higher power reaches the set temperature faster, while with lower power it takes more time to bring the surface layer to the appropriate temperature. The speed of temperature increase also depends on the amount of coverage of the heating surface – the greater the percentage of floor coverage, the waiting time to reach the set temperature will be shorter. The comfort of using the heating foil in a surface heating system depends largely on the electronic temperature controller. Our offer includes both standard models – with a temperature setting function and a simple security system, as well as technologically advanced models – with a touch display, a wide personalization mode and compatible with remote control systems. In the case of advanced products, the user has the opportunity to choose the most effective control system, perfectly suited to his needs. NOTE: Before purchasing a heating foil, ask about European tests and check the security of the heating foil! Weaker solutions, although they perfectly cover the demand for thermal power, are characterized by a relatively significant delay time (longer waiting time to obtain the set parameters).

The selection and installation of foil in surface heating systems is simple and almost non-invasive. However, there are several key issues that should be paid attention to, both when designing and installing. The basic mistake that can be encountered when creating a heating foil system design is the use of a model with too low unit power. This may result from an incorrectly estimated demand for heating power. Apart from the obvious underheating of the rooms, the time it takes for the temperature to reach the set level (or close to it) will be longer than in a properly sized installation.

The use of a thermoregulator with a contact of too low power (in terms of the power handled) may damage the actuating elements, which results in a failure of the heating system – no heating. The installed heating foil should not exceed 80% of the permissible power of the thermoregulator.

Wall heating guarantees even temperature distribution over the entire height of the room. It is characterized by a lack of air circulation due to heat being released into the room through radiation. The wall finishing elements include plasterboards without or with finishing, laminated boards, wall panels. Ceiling heating is installed where underfloor or wall heating is not possible due to the lack of free space, e.g. a large amount of built-up floor, thick carpet or built-up wall.

Our offer includes Heating Foil with a power of 400W/m2 which can be used to create your own radiator. By installing the heating foil under plasterboard or natural stone, we will get a radiator with low electricity consumption, high efficiency, and thanks to the use of a thermoregulator, we will have full control of the operating temperature and our radiator will consume approximately 30% less electricity in relation to power.

Using a heating foil under the mirror ensures that the mirror will not fog up and, in addition, our mirror will turn into a radiator.

Foil powered by direct current is ideal for heating caravans and summer houses where we do not have access to the electricity network. This system can be connected to a battery or directly to photovoltaic panels.

Balcony and shop windows are the surfaces that generate the greatest heat losses. By installing a strip of Heating Foil in this area under the floor, we build a barrier curtain that will limit the inflow of cold air. This function serves as an underfloor heater.
