Nuheat Cable is an Electric Radiant Floor Heating system that allows contractors to instantly make on-site adjustments to the floor heating coverage for any room including those with curves and angles. While an alternative to Nuheat Mats, cables take more time, effort and thought than Nuheat Mats since you customize the layout as you go.
Nuheat Cable offers installation flexibility since you lay out the Cable to fit the floor area. Available in both 120V and 240V, the Nuheat Cable System is only 3/16' thick making it ideal for both remodeling and new construction projects.
Nuheat describes their cable kits with a size Range (Examples: 4 - 8 SF or 89-100 SF) but the cable cannot be lengthened or shortened. The spacing between cable runs should always be 3 throughout the entire installation (3' is the ONLY spacing Nuheat allows) so be sure to choose the correct kit for your size floor (you can use more than one per room).

Patented Nuheat Cable Guides (included in each kit) are first secured onto the subfloor around the perimeter of the room. The Nuheat Cable Guides are superior to other clips or straps provided with other floor heating cable products as they are made of durable yet flexible plastic and lay flat on the subfloor to guarantee the lowest profile.
The heating cable is then installed and covered with thinset mortar or floor leveling cement (aka self-leveler). After the mortar has cured flooring can then be installed on top of this new layer.
You can use the Layout Assistant Chart to determine how far from the walls you install the cable to heat the area, generally 1 to 6 inches in from the perimeter of the heated area
Nuheat Cable may also be installed in combination with the Nuheat Mat system. Both systems have leads and can be wired together to the same thermostat. So you can use Standard mats for rectangular or square areas and fill in with cables for the irregular angled or curved portions of your room.
