The DEVI system is invisible, which gives you new possibilities for furnishing and interior design without having to consider space consuming radiators.
Bathroom
With an electric floor heating system, you can remove radiators and visible pipes, therefore you can furnish your bathroom as you like; this gives you exciting possibilities to design a completely new bathroom and allows for extra space, especially in smaller bathrooms. DEVI floor heating system completes the sense of comfort.
Floor heating provides comfort in the bathroom
Spa baths, aromatherapy, and relaxation are synonyms of exclusive comfort, but nowadays you can afford to have it on your own. More and more people have acquired a taste for comfort, transforming their bathroom into a modern oasis of wellness.
Elegant lighting, exclusive fittings, and designer tiles alone do not create the atmosphere of comfort. Enjoyment starts with a warm and cosy indoor climate; ice-cold floors must be avoided.
Kitchen
Most families spend a lot of time in the kitchen; therefore, flooring is very important for the family’s well-being. Underfloor heating is well suited for kitchen floors because it supplies good warmth while discreetly hidden under the floor. It leaves the room to be designed as you wish without having to consider the placement of radiators and visible pipes.
Living room
The living room is intended for rest and relaxation after a busy day; perhaps, together with family and friends, in solitude with a good book or an interesting television program, or you enjoy playing on the floor with your children. All these activities make demands on your heating system.
Underfloor heating is always near at hand
When you want to relax, the heating system in your living room will ensure a comfortable temperature that is neither too cold nor too warm. Above all, heat must be supplied to the room being used by the family.
In the living room, you sit still, and close to the floor, which is why a DEVI underfloor heating system is ideal. This ensures a pleasant warmth at floor level and a comfortable temperature at sitting level.
Playroom and bedroom
A child’s room is a room for having fun, where children can play on the floor, read exciting books, and enjoy a good sleep. However, such rooms have some unique heating requirements. On the one hand, a child’s room must be pleasantly warm throughout the day to make it suitably inviting. On the other hand, it must be cool enough in the evening and during the night to encourage a good, deep sleep.
Warm during the day, cooler at night
A child’s room must be warm during the day but cooler at night. This requires a heating system that can be set precisely to suit a family’s living habits. DEVI advanced timer control system and quick-acting underfloor heating system are easily able to meet demands for flexible heating in children’s rooms. An extra benefit is that it is ideal for the heating to be in the floor, as this is a child’s preferred play area when indoors.
Utility Room
Utility rooms and halls get so much more from electric underfloor heating than just a pleasantly warm floor.In these areas, underfloor heating also helps to keep the floor dry. This is particularly useful in the winter when shoes bring wet snow and dirt into the house. The warm floor keeps the floor’s surface free from slush and water and makes it easier to keep clean. The warm floor also helps to dry wet shoes and boots, making them lovely and warm to put on. In this the way, underfloor heating is an effective means of preventing a cold.
For any type of floor covering
DEVI floor heating solutions work efficiently under all kinds of floor coverings imaginable: ceramic tiles, natural stone, tiles (e.g. marble, terrazzo or wood), wooden parquet, laminates or wooden planks, any type of wall to wall carpets, linoleum and any other flooring coverings.
Ceramic tiles, natural stone or terrazzo floors
Ceramic tiles and marble floors, granite and terrazzo are smart, easy to maintain, and almost indestructible. There are therefore many advantages to choosing a stone floor. However, unheated stone floors are a cold comfort to bare feet.
Our heating cables or mats can be placed directly under the stone floor to help ensure warm feet and a comfortable warmth in the room.
DEVI underfloor heating is suitable for stone floors as they lose heat quickly; however, such floors also heat up quickly when heating cables or mats are placed directly under the floor. For this reason, a stone floor is the ideal partner for DEVI advanced thermostats that control the heat precisely and effectively. This ensures excellent comfort and economy. The comfort temperature of the floor depends on the floor covering. For tiles, stone, and terrazzo, it is 26 – 29°C.
Wooden parquet, laminates, and planks
Wood is a natural material, which contracts or expands depending on the temperature. This creates demands for a floor heating system to distribute the heat in a gentle and controlled way. Precise heat controlThe DEVIreg™ electronic thermostat with floor sensors is the perfect choice for wooden floors. It ensures that the temperature in the floor construction is always is in accordance with the tolerance level recommended by the manufacturer of the wooden floors.
Wooden parquet, laminates, and planks
The DEVI floor heating system can be used anywhere in the house, no matter if the floor is constructed with floor boards on joists, wood laminates or parquet on concrete.
Out of consideration for the wood, the installed output must not exceed 100 W/m2 or 80 W/m2, if the cables are laid in the air void between joists. In some countries, regulations prescribe an even lower output. If building heat loss is higher than the maximum, reinsulating should be considered or additional heating sources are required in order to ensure a comfortable temperature in the room.

Linoleum
Linoleum is a practical, natural product that is especially suitable for homes. Many people choose a linoleum floor because it is easy to keep clean, allergy friendly, and dampens sound. At the same time, it is suitable for use with underfloor heating.
Linoleum flooring is a natural product, which means it must be handled in precisely the same way as heating under a wood floor. Therefore, the heating cable or mat must be covered with a layer of tile mortar or self-levelling floor screed with a minimum thickness of 6 mm. This provides optimum distribution of heat over the entire floor surface.
Wall to wall carpets
Wall-to-wall carpets are warm by nature. However, a carpeted floor can still be advantageously heated using DEVI underfloor heating. However, the heating cables or mats must be covered with a layer of tile mortar or self-levelling floor screed with a minimum thickness of 6 mm. This provides a good, even distribution of heat over the floor’s surface.
Carpets have a slight insulating effect on underfloor heating. This means that an underfloor heating system installed beneath a thick woolen carpet may take slightly longer to react to changes in the room’s temperature.
The end of ice-cold feet age in the bathroom
A bathroom can be synonymous with warm, comfortable relaxation. However, the state of well-being during a hot bath can be spoiled quickly by the feeling of your feet getting colder and colder due to an icy floor in your bathroom. You can easily avoid this unpleasant experience by installing a DEVI electric floor heating system.
DEVI will make your mornings easier and your baths more soothing. Moreover, thin cables hidden under your floor, instead of radiators, give you the possibility to save space, especially in smaller bathrooms.
Lower the temperature and stay warm
Electrical floor heating is tailor-made to the simple principles of physics. The hot air rises, which means that heat from the floor is automatically distributed evenly throughout the room. With traditional radiators, hot air immediately moves up the walls, thereby leaving the floor and your feet in the cold. DEVI electric floor heating solutions make it possible to lower the temperature by an average of two degrees and still increase the heating comfort in your bathroom, keeping your feet warm.
A flexible system providing fast adjustment
A sensitive thermostat ensures that the temperature is constantly fine-tuned, so that the bathroom always has exactly the right temperature when you need it, which minimizes heat loss. The floor heating system is installed a few millimeters under the floor covering. This gives a very quick reaction time and means that it can be laid on top of the existing floor.
Comfort without maintenance
There is no wear and tear to the heating cables, which makes them completely maintenance-free. This means that you can enjoy warmth and comfort for many years without having to worry about expensive repair and renovation costs.
Advantages of roofs, gutters, and downpipes heating
Older buildings are obvious victims of ice and snow, capable of destroying fronts, roofs, drainpipes, and roof gutters. Old roofs are often poorly insulated or based on insufficient construction standards; these aspects enable water to enter the building. When the winter frost sets in, damage is inevitable.
DEVI provides a high-tech heating solution to efficiently fight against ice and snow. DEVI ice and snow melting system for roofs consists of heating cables, an electronic thermostat, and installation accessories. DEVI ice and snow melting solutions for roofs can be installed in any type of roof construction.The wide range of DEVI products provide the possibility to apply the system on metal, bitumen, graveled, or tile roofs. Depending on the requirements, the DEVI system can be applied on the roof edge, drain pipes, roof gutters and valleys.
Sound Investment
An ice and snow melting system from DEVI is an investment in comfort and safety, alleviating concerns about sudden building damage as well as driver and pedestrian safety. In addition, the heating system is a financially sound investment as roofs, drainpipes, and roof gutters are always expensive to renovate after a harsh winter. As the cost of an ice and snow melting system correspond more or less to the renovation expenses of one winter season, a fast return on investment is guaranteed.
Types of underfloor heating methods
Electrical floor heating solutions provided by DEVI are not only comfortable, but also energy efficient and environmentally friendly. You have to consider what kind of heating method is suitable for your needs before installing floor heating.
There are different kinds of heating methods:
- Direct heating, where heating cables or mats are placed near the floor surface. The direct heating system may be installed as:
- Total heating (also called primary heating) - floor heating as the only source of heat. DEVI floor heating is an effective heating system that easily can heat up your house as the only heating source.
- Comfort heating (also called supplementary heating) - floor heating as a supplement to other sources of heat, e.g., radiators, fireplaces, etc.
- Accumulating/storage/semi-storage, where floor heating gets the maximum out of low tariff periods.
DEVI floor heating makes the floor comfortably warm and can be installed in all types of floors and with all kind of floor coverings.
DEVI for your roof
Installing DEVI ice and snow melting system on your roof makes you drudgery-free of removing snow from your roof by hand. DEVI prevents accidents and eliminates snow-related damage to your home. Ice and snow melting systems from DEVI are designed to provide safety for buildings and reduce damage to the building.
DEVI outdoor heating cables are installed to prevent ice and snow from accumulating on your roof. They melt snow, eliminating heavy snow and ice accumulation on the roof. Heating cables stops ice dams from forming on roof edges.
Ice and snow melting systems for roofs and roof gutters can be installed in almost any type of roof construction. The DEVI advanced intelligent thermostat automatically regulates the system based on the actual temperature and humidity conditions.
In cold but dry weather, the system remains inactive, saving energy and costs. When the weather is cold and wet, the system is automatically activated, quickly melting snow and preventing the buildup of ice. Nevertheless, you always have the option to manually control the system via the thermostat.
Advantages Of DEVI Electrical Floor Heating
Electrical heating offers a number of advantages in a building project and daily usage. Intelligent solutions delivered by DEVI offer even more.
An invisible heat source
DEVI’s floor heating system is invisible. As the system is hidden under the floor, it gives excitingly new possibilities for furnishing and interior design and the space-saving solution.
Advantages for floor construction
DEVI heating cables or mats are placed just underneath the floor covering, which makes for a very light floor construction. Instead of a water-based floor heating, which usually needs a concrete layer of 60 to 100 mm on top of the water tubes in order to diffuse the heating, you can use a 4 mm thin DEVImat.
DEVI electrical floor heating is mounted directly in the tile glue and it only needs 4.5 mm layer under panels. It makes installations easier and faster – you don’t need to waste your time for waiting for few centimeters layer to dry.
Multi-story buildings
Low building height is a clear advantage in multi-story buildings, where the size of the horizontal division really matters. The 54-story Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden is the case of a skyscraper where DEVI supplied the heating cables for the bathrooms.
Energy and cost efficient
DEVI electrical floor heating offers significant cost advantages. It is cheaper to purchase and easier to plan. DEVI system is significantly faster to install and it fits better into the building process, hence saving both time and money in the overall building process. Once in use, advanced DEVI thermostats combine the possibility of optimal heating comfort with minimal energy consumption. DEVI offers clear qualitative advantages and longer service life compared to most other heating systems.
Combining green and comfortable way of heating
DEVI electrical floor heating and solar cells represent a new green and attractive option of converting sunlight into CO2-neutral electricity without having to sacrifice any of comforts.
