Compact Radiant Floor Heating for Small Interior Areas

The Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-HK Electric Radiant Floor Heating Cable 240V 52.9' (16 sq ft) is engineered for efficient, comfortable floor warming in smaller residential spaces. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Schluter DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane, this twisted-pair heating cable delivers consistent radiant heat beneath tile, stone, and approved resilient flooring such as luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

With its 16 sq ft coverage and 240V configuration, this cable is ideal for compact bathrooms, powder rooms, entryways, and other small areas where targeted floor heating enhances comfort and usability.

Quick and Clean Installation with DITRA-HEAT Membrane

The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cable is designed to snap directly into the DITRA-HEAT membrane without the need for clips, staples, or additional fasteners. This simplifies installation and reduces labor time while maintaining a clean, professional finish.

Because the system does not require self-leveling compounds to encapsulate the cable, installers benefit from a faster and more efficient workflow compared to traditional radiant heating systems.

Installation benefits include:

• Snaps securely into DITRA-HEAT membrane
• No clips or mechanical fasteners required
• No self-leveling compound needed
• No return cable to thermostat required
• Faster installation process overall

Twisted-Pair Cable Design for Consistent Heat Output

This heating cable uses advanced twisted-pair technology to deliver uniform radiant heat while producing virtually zero electromagnetic fields. The result is consistent floor temperatures and improved comfort in small heated areas.

For safety and optimal performance, the cable must never be cut, shortened, or modified. Proper spacing during installation ensures balanced heat distribution across the floor surface.

Key performance features:

• Twisted-pair heating cable construction
• Virtually zero electromagnetic fields
• Even radiant heat distribution
• Designed for interior floor warming
• Compatible with Schluter DITRA-HEAT thermostat systems

Ideal for Tile, Stone, and Resilient Floor Finishes

The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cable is compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, making it a versatile choice for both renovation and new construction projects.

Suitable flooring applications include:

• Ceramic tile
• Porcelain tile
• Natural stone
• Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
• Other approved resilient floor coverings

Its compact 16 sq ft coverage makes it especially suitable for small zones where comfort heating is desired without extending into full-room installations.

Engineered for Safe and Reliable Installation

Proper installation is essential for achieving long-lasting performance. Schluter recommends maintaining required spacing from walls, fixtures, plumbing, and heat sources to ensure safe and efficient operation.

The included floor temperature sensor enables accurate thermostat control, while insulation resistance testing during installation is strongly recommended to verify cable integrity before the floor is finished.

Important installation guidelines:

• Never cut or modify the heating cable
• Install only within DITRA-HEAT membrane system
• Maintain required spacing and clearances
• Follow recommended layout practices
• Includes floor temperature sensor
