Spreading heat evenly and therefore withstands heavy traffic, eliminates the risk of electric shock and overheating. Our heaters are designed to run continuously and are completely waterproof. We put all our heaters through a safety test before packaging. Our undertile wire is put through a series of in house tests before it is even put into our production line.

We charge + - R1400 per kilowatt and in order to know what kilowatts you require I need the square meterage of your room. Making sure you have measured from wall to wall (including cupboard space). We will then take that square meterage and multiply it by 80 watts if you have a standard room size. If you have a room with large windows and high ceiling volume we suggest working with 100 watts per square meter. This will then give you a figure of the watts you require in order to heat your room sufficiently E.g. 25 square meters x 80 watts = 2000 watts required divided by 1000 = 2 kilowatts required x R1400 = R2800 inc instillation and a basic thermostat. But we do not install. We work through heating specialists who are fully trained by us. I will give you contact details or take your details for a heating specialist we recommend you make use of in your area.
