Other applications

In-screed and in-slab heating: floor build-up
Indoor

In-screed and in-slab heating

Heating cable laid in a sand-cement screed or concrete slab. The mass stores heat and releases it evenly, which suits whole-home heating and open-plan spaces.

Timber and floating floors: floor build-up
Indoor

Timber and floating floors

A dry system with no screed. Aluminium-topped plates spread heat from a low-output cable under floating timber, laminate or engineered boards.

Snow and ice melting
Outdoor

Snow and ice melting

Heating cables in driveways, ramps, stairs and paths keep surfaces clear of ice and snow. Sensors switch the system on only when it's cold and wet.

Roof and gutter de-icing: DEVI heating cable
Outdoor

Roof and gutter de-icing

Cables in gutters, valleys and downpipes stop ice dams and icicles forming, protecting the roof, gutters and people below.

Pipe frost protection: DEVI heating cable
Frost

Pipe frost protection

Self-limiting cable fixed along water pipes and under insulation stops them freezing and bursting in exposed or unheated locations.

Hot water temperature maintenance

Keeps hot water pipes at temperature so hot water arrives quickly at every outlet, reducing water waste in large buildings.

Cold storage frost-heave protection
Commercial

Cold storage frost-heave protection

Low-output cable under freezer and cool-room floors keeps the ground beneath above freezing, preventing frost heave that cracks and lifts slabs.

Sports field heating
Commercial

Sports field heating

Cables laid below the turf keep the root zone and surface free of frost so pitches stay playable through winter.
