What Product do I Need and in what Quantity?
Calculating the quantity of cable and
complementary products required may seem complicated. By providing just
a bit of information, this section helps you determine the products
necessary to meet your needs.

Remember that it is very important to distinguish
between an installation at 3 inch intervals and one at 4 inch
intervals. For example, for a room with a surface area of 50 square
feet, but of which only 28 square feet will be covered with heated
cable, it would be preferable to install the cable at 3 inch intervals
in order to provide enough heat for a room 50 square feet in size.
However, if there is another main source of heat, then installing the
cable at 4 inch intervals can also be considered.

Number of sq-ft to cover
In order to decrease mistakes, a precise measure of the surface must be
provided. Moreover, the surface measure must represent the square-feet
that are to be covered by the heating system and not the measure of the
entire room surface. In the calculation of the surface to be covered,
Protherm has planned the exceeding area covered by the cable, it is
thus no longer necessary to multiply the surface by 95% as suggested
with the previous generation of cables.
Moreover a buffer zone must be planned. It is a space that does not
necessitate heating but that can be covered by excess cable if
necessary (a closet for instance).
Choice of voltage
Once the length of the cable has been chosen, the
voltage of the cable, either 120 or 240 volt, needs to be determined.
The availability within the electric box determines the choice of
voltage. The customer needs this information, a misinformation can lead
to elevated costs.
Cable spacing
Before proceeding to the installation, a last
component needs to be determined: the spacing between the cables,
PROTHERM offers two types of spacing, either 3 or 4 inches. The
advantages of using a
3” cable are:
- 12 watt per square-foot power
- The desired temperature will be obtained more rapidly
