Composite heating foil Hornisse 100m² (1 x 100m)
Code: HO-310Related products
Product detailed description
Composite heating foils are commonly used in dry construction for underfloor heating and wall heating applications. They are particularly suitable for residential and commercial buildings where a low-profile heating solution is required. Installers typically integrate these foils into new builds or renovations, where traditional heating systems are either impractical or undesirable. The system operates by emitting infrared radiation, which heats surfaces directly rather than the air, ensuring even thermal distribution and energy efficiency.
These foils are often installed in conjunction with thermal insulation layers and are compatible with various floor coverings such as tiles, laminate, and engineered wood. The installation process is straightforward and does not require structural modifications to the existing floor. The low thickness of the foil ensures that it can be placed over existing flooring without raising the level. This makes it a popular choice for retrofitting older buildings or for use in areas where space is limited.
Technical parameters

The technical parameters of the Hornisse composite heating foil HO-310 are essential for proper system sizing and selection. The foil has a power output of 120W/m² and a linear power of 50W/m. These values determine the required surface area and the number of foils needed to achieve the desired heating capacity. The maximum allowable length of a single foil strip is 10m, and the maximum installation power per strip is 1200W. These parameters help ensure that the system operates within safe electrical limits and provides uniform heating across the entire surface.
Installation and connection
Installation of the Hornisse composite heating foil HO-310 involves laying the foil on a clean, dry surface and connecting it to a 230V power supply. The foil can be cut at 25cm intervals to fit the required dimensions. It is important to ensure that the foil is not overlapped and that the cut edges are sealed with a suitable insulation material. The foil should be placed in a single layer and covered with a thin layer of underlayment or directly with the final floor covering.
During installation, it is crucial to check the continuity of the foil and the integrity of the electrical connections. The foil must be connected to a dedicated circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection. Common installation mistakes include improper cutting, overlapping of foil strips, and failure to secure the foil in place before applying the final floor covering. These errors can lead to uneven heating, electrical faults, or damage to the foil.
Compatibility and accessories
The Hornisse composite heating foil HO-310 is compatible with various underfloor heating systems and can be used in conjunction with thermal insulation boards and floor coverings such as tiles, laminate, and engineered wood. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a thermal insulation layer beneath the foil to minimize heat loss and improve energy efficiency. Additional accessories such as temperature sensors and thermostats may be required to regulate the system and ensure safe operation.
Related products include the Hornisse composite heating foil with a width of 1m and lengths from 1m to 100m, as well as the 50m² model with a width of 0.5m and a length of 100m. These options provide flexibility in system design and allow for customization based on the specific requirements of the installation.
Technical background for designers
The Hornisse composite heating foil operates on the principle of infrared radiation. The foil consists of multiple layers of material, including high-quality copper strips and a protective PET film. The copper strips generate heat when an electrical current passes through them, and the heat is emitted as infrared radiation. This radiation heats the surrounding surfaces directly, rather than the air, resulting in a more efficient and comfortable heating experience.
The foil's low thickness (0.338mm) and flexibility allow it to be easily integrated into various construction systems. The protective PET film provides additional durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The system is designed for dry construction environments and does not require a vapor barrier layer, as the foil is already protected by the PET film. The maximum operating temperature of the foil is 35°C, which ensures that it remains within safe limits and does not pose a risk of overheating or fire.
Service and operation
The Hornisse composite heating foil HO-310 requires minimal maintenance due to its simple design and lack of moving parts. Regular checks should be performed to ensure that the electrical connections are secure and that the foil is not damaged. The system should be monitored for any signs of overheating or electrical faults, and any issues should be addressed promptly. Since the foil does not require periodic servicing, it is a low-maintenance solution that can provide reliable heating for many years.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Hornisse composite heating foil be used in wet areas?
No, the foil is designed for dry construction and should not be installed in areas with high humidity or water exposure.
Is it possible to cut the foil to custom dimensions?
Yes, the foil can be cut at 25cm intervals to fit the required dimensions of the installation area.
What is the maximum length of a single foil strip?
The maximum allowable length of a single foil strip is 10m, and the maximum installation power per strip is 1200W.
Does the foil require a vapor barrier layer?
No, the foil is already protected by a PET film, so a separate vapor barrier is not necessary.
