The plate body (1), typically 1m x 0.6m x 0.01m of e.g. water-repellant agglomerate material, having low thermal conductivity and coefficient of expansion, has tongue-and-groove interlocking (1d,1e) on opposing edges, and is sandwiched between an upper galvanised steel sheet (3) and an insulating under-layer (2). Bus-wires (7) run along one side between male (5) and female (6) connectors inset on the interlocking edges. The steel sheet (3) is earthed. The supply wires are tee-connected to a serpentine heating element (4), with overheating cut-out, embedded in the body. Rows of interconnected plates are plugged into inset sockets appropriately spaced along one wall foot. Plates without elements are cut to size to close any uncovered areas in non-modular floors. USE/ADVANTAGE - Esp. in refurbished buildings. Relatively cheap and easily installed. |
