Efficient Radiant Heating for Larger Interior Floor Areas

The Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-HK Electric Radiant Floor Heating Cable 240V 176.3' (54 sq ft) is designed to provide dependable, energy-efficient floor warming for larger residential and light commercial spaces. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Schluter DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane, this twisted-pair heating cable delivers consistent radiant heat beneath tile, natural stone, and approved resilient flooring such as luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

With 54 sq ft of heating coverage, this 240V heating cable is an excellent choice for larger bathrooms, kitchens, basements, laundry rooms, and open living spaces where warm floors improve everyday comfort.

Faster Installation with the DITRA-HEAT Membrane System

The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cable snaps securely into the DITRA-HEAT membrane without the need for clips, staples, or additional fasteners. Because the cable does not require encapsulation with self-leveling compounds, installation is faster, cleaner, and more efficient than many traditional electric floor heating systems.

Its innovative design also eliminates the need to return the heating cable to the thermostat, simplifying cable layout and reducing installation time.

Installation advantages include:

• Snaps directly into the DITRA-HEAT membrane
• No clips or mechanical fasteners required
• No self-leveling compounds needed
• No return cable to the thermostat
• Faster and cleaner installation process

Advanced Twisted-Pair Cable for Uniform Heat Distribution

Built with advanced twisted-pair technology, the heating cable delivers consistent radiant warmth while producing virtually zero electromagnetic fields. The design promotes even floor temperatures throughout the heated space while maintaining reliable long-term performance.

For safe operation, the cable must never be cut, shortened, or modified. Proper cable spacing ensures efficient heat output and optimal system performance.

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

Compatible with Tile, Stone, and Resilient Flooring

The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cable is compatible with a variety of finished flooring materials, making it suitable for both renovation and new construction projects.

Recommended flooring applications include:

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

Its 54 sq ft coverage provides an ideal heating solution for medium to large rooms where comfortable floor temperatures enhance the living environment.

Designed for Safe, Long-Lasting Performance

Following Schluter's installation guidelines helps maximize system performance and reliability. Proper cable spacing and required clearances from walls, plumbing fixtures, drains, and other heat sources help ensure consistent operation and safe installation.

A floor temperature sensor is included for precise thermostat control, while insulation resistance testing during installation is strongly recommended to verify cable integrity before the finished flooring is installed.

Important installation considerations:

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