The Warmup Underfloor Heating Cable Kit provides a versatile and efficient heating solution for your home. Whether you have irregularly shaped rooms or rooms with many fixtures, the Warmup Loose Wire System (also known as DWSWire) is designed to suit your needs. The heating cable can be easily maneuvered on the subfloor, allowing for seamless installation around fixtures with ease.
For irregularly shaped rooms, the spacing of the cable can be adjusted to your requirements, ensuring the desired power output and accommodating the layout of the room. The Loose Wire System is ideal for installation under ceramic or natural stone tiled flooring, providing luxurious warmth throughout your space.
If you have regularly shaped rooms, the Sticky Mat system offers a quick and precise installation alternative to the Loose Wire System. For those seeking an electric underfloor heating system that also protects tiles, the DCM-PRO Heated Decoupling Mat is the practical solution. Additionally, for floor finishes other than tiles, the Foil Heater System is ideal, as it eliminates the need for flexible tile adhesive or self-levelling compound, providing a completely dry structure for the installation of carpet or laminate flooring.
Qualities Of The Loose Wire Heating CableThe heating cable in the Warmup Underfloor Heating Cable Kit is impressively thin, measuring only 1.8mm, making it the thinnest on the market. This ensures that it does not significantly raise the floor height. The small cross-section of the heating element allows for installation without the need for a layer of self-levelling screed. Install the Loose Wire System with a tile adhesive layer under tiles or with a self-levelling compound under other floor finishes.
One of the major benefits of installing the Loose Wire System is that it does not require a self-levelling screed, saving you time and additional costs associated with the drying process. Once the cable is laid down, the floor finish can be installed directly on top of it.
The Warmup Loose Wire System is suitable for all applications, providing primary or secondary heating in any room or project that adheres to Building Regulations.

Installation
The Warmup Loose Wire System has been designed so that installation is quick and easy. However, as with all electrical underfloor heating systems, certain procedures must be followed. Ensure you have read all technical specifications and you are happy to fit Warmup Loose Wire Underfloor Heating to your room. To install your Warmup Underfloor Heating system follow these 4 steps. Please note that this is a summary.
- Smooth, clean and dry the subfloor surface. Paint the floor with Warmup Primer (you do not need to use primer if installing on an insulated tile back board). The light green colour of the primer will change to a dark green once dry. Avoid traffic once primer is down.
- Calculate in square metres the size of the area to be heated. Use the Sizing Guide (found in the back of the Installation Manual) to correctly fit your heating wire into the space provided. Layout the heating wire in parallel lines. Begin at the start point and in U shapes go to the furthest point. Using the wire spacing markings as tape down points, secure the heating wire to the floor with adhesive tape. Once completed, tape down the entire length of the heating wire, positioning the tape centrally over the wire.
- Follow the instructions supplied with your thermostat. Your underfloor heating system will not function without a correctly installed thermostat.
- Check if the heating wire is fully taped and secured. Grout the floor as soon as possible as per the manufacturer's' instructions. Tile as normal, taking care not to damage or dislodge the heating wire.
The heater can be installed without the need for specialist tools or expertise (in accordance with local building code). It is important, however, that the Warmup Thermostat be connected by a qualified electrician.
