Do you need help selecting the proper type of concrete-designed heating cable system for your installation?
Send us a copy of your construction plans by fax to 1 800 662-7801
or by e-mail to [email protected]. Make sure you send a copy of
the plan to scale as well as a list of all fixed elements which have
to be bypassed. At the very least, we will need a horizontal measure
and a vertical measure to validate the scale. Our technical support
technicians will be pleased to provide you with a list of material and
a layout sketch to guide you through your installation. Please note
however we do not supply an installation plan for concrete heating
cable in reel OWC-R.
4.2 Sub-floor preparation
1. Ouellet Canada Inc. strongly recommends the installation of rigid thermal insulation panels (styrofoam-
type - 2” minimum) underneath the concrete slab, (tongue and groove or joints taped with adhesive), with
a RSI coefficient between 7.5 to 10R to help reduce the loss of heat at the bottom level.
2. Metallic reinforcement structure for reinforced concrete is required for the installation of OWC-R concrete
cables. These cables are designed to be installed at a regular spacing of 6” (15 cm). It is therefore important
to install a metallic reinforcement or wire mesh while adhering to this spacing. Any spacing other than those
specified in the manual must first be approved by a specialist from Ouellet Canada Inc. Metallic reinforce-
ment or wire mesh must be adequately supported with spacers or bricks at a recommended distance of
24” (60 cm) between supports. Wire mesh must be suitably overlapped and aligned and any sharp edge
must be covered with adhesive tape (or other protective material).
Note : Please refer to the building code for recommendations pertaining to concrete sub-floors.
