Electric heating cabel Hornisse 5,5mm (60m)
Code: HO HCABLE/15-900Product detailed description
Electric underfloor heating cables are commonly installed beneath screed layers in residential and commercial buildings to provide even and efficient heating. These systems are particularly suited for use in bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and other spaces where a warm floor surface is desired. The cables are embedded in a layer of screed (concrete or anhydrite), which acts as a thermal mass to store and gradually release heat. This ensures a stable and long-lasting heat output, even after the system is turned off. The installation process requires careful planning to ensure even distribution and avoid overheating or cold spots. The system is compatible with various types of floor coverings, including tiles, panels and carpets, and remains hidden from view, preserving the aesthetic of the interior.
Designers and installers must consider the room’s insulation, floor covering type and overall heating requirements when specifying the cable length and layout. The cable must be installed at a minimum ambient temperature of 5°C to ensure proper operation. The system is controlled via a thermostat, allowing for precise temperature regulation and energy efficiency. The cable is designed for long-term reliability and requires minimal maintenance, making it a suitable option for both new builds and retrofit projects.

Installation and connection
The installation process involves embedding the cable in a screed layer, ensuring even spacing and avoiding sharp bends or kinks. The cable should be laid in a serpentine pattern to ensure uniform heat distribution. The minimum installation temperature must be maintained to prevent damage during the curing process. The power supply cable is a two-core cable with a grounding braid and has a length of 2.5 m. The cable must be connected to a suitable thermostat and a dedicated circuit to ensure safe and efficient operation. Common installation mistakes include incorrect spacing, insufficient screed thickness and failure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for bending and routing. After installation, the system should be tested for continuity and insulation resistance to ensure proper functionality.
Compatibility and accessories
This cable is compatible with standard thermostats and control systems designed for low-voltage heating applications. It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit breaker for the system to ensure electrical safety. Additional accessories such as temperature sensors and control panels may be required for advanced temperature regulation. Related products include the following:

Technical background for designers
The cable operates by converting electrical energy into heat through resistance in the conductors. The LSZH insulation ensures that the cable emits minimal smoke and no halogen gases in the event of a fire, making it a safer option for indoor use. The XLPE and PVC outer insulation provides mechanical protection and ensures long-term durability. The screed layer acts as a thermal mass, storing heat and releasing it gradually, which improves the system’s efficiency and comfort. The cable’s performance is influenced by the thickness of the screed, the type of floor covering and the room’s insulation. Proper spacing and layout are essential to avoid overheating and ensure even heat distribution. The system is designed for long-term reliability and requires minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for both new and existing buildings.
Service and operation
The system requires minimal maintenance and is designed for long-term operation. Regular checks should include verifying the continuity of the cable and the insulation resistance to ensure there are no faults or leaks. The thermostat should be calibrated periodically to maintain accurate temperature control. If the system is not used for an extended period, it should be disconnected from the power supply to prevent unnecessary energy consumption. No specific service intervals are required, but any signs of damage or malfunction should be addressed immediately to prevent further issues.
Frequently asked questions
Can the cable be installed in a room with poor insulation?
It is not recommended to install the cable in a room with poor insulation, as this may lead to excessive heat loss and reduced efficiency.
What is the maximum length of the cable that can be installed in one room?
The maximum length depends on the room size and heating requirements. The cable is available in various lengths, and the correct length should be selected based on the desired output and coverage area.
Can the cable be used with a programmable thermostat?
Yes, the cable can be used with a programmable thermostat to allow for precise temperature control and energy savings.
Is it possible to install the cable in a room with a wooden floor?
Yes, the cable can be installed in a room with a wooden floor, but it must be embedded in a screed layer to ensure even heat distribution and prevent overheating of the wood.
