The principle of Flexel heating elements is based on a continous resistence sheet providing heat evenly over the black surface areas.

Low temperature Flexel floor heating elements produce a gentle heat that evenly warms the entire room. Once the surfaces have been warmed, the heat is reflected resulting in comfortable, natural warmth with minimum floor to ceiling variation.

Installation is quick, easy and tidy with most fitting's being completed the same day. In no time you will be feeling the benefits of this superior home heating system. No more unsightly radiators.

As the diagram opposite shows, the temperature difference from floor to ceiling height when using Flexel is minimal. In fact almost constant from your feet up to your shoulders.

As the diagram opposite shows, most heat from traditional heating systems builds up at ceiling height. As this air-cools it falls to the floor creating a circular motion. This motion creates draughts and re circulates dust within the room. Heat from Flexel only heats objects in the room by using radiant heat waves. Individual personal heat comfort levels are achieved with thermostats and controls. Heat is evenly dispersed throughout the home, not concentrated close to radiators or vents. Recommended heat levels are easily controlled.

The actual running costs of the product depend entirely on the thermal properties of the building that it is being installed into. Opposite is a chart showing some examples of the output in kilowatts of various widths of Flexel in comparison to their length in metres. Carbon mats use most power whilst achieving an optimal running temperature. This basically means from cold to hot. The more insulation in the building the lesser the period of time required to reach optimal running temperature. Thus meaning less power consumption. A typical Conservatory 4 metres by 3 metres as shown on our price guide page would have a power output of 1.27 kilowatts. If this system was on for 3.2 hours of an 8 hour period. 40% of the 8 hour day, it would equate to 4.06 kilowatt hours. Electricity priced at 5.5 pence per kilowatt-hour would mean this heating system would cost 22 pence per day to run.

Please note that these calculations are only rough guides. Other factors would seriously affect the running cost. Such as The actual cost of your electricity, secondary heat sources, insulation levels within the property, and extreme weather conditions. As a guide this heating system would cost approximately 0.66 pence per square meter of heating element per hour to run.
