DEVImat 10.0 m2 Underfloor Heating Mat (0.5 x 20 m) 1000W for Timber Floors DEVIcomfort 100T (DTIR) 100W/m2

The pioneering DEVI has an illustrious history in electric underfloor heating - being the first company of its kind - established in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1942. They became the leading electrical heating manufacturer in the market, and are now considered the best within the industry. Accordingly, they have a loyal customer base that is always growing - perhaps finding the 20 year full warranty (on certain purchases such as the DEVImat) with the 'DEVIwarranty' to be the the icing on the cake. So this winter,  there's only one company to turn to when the question of underfloor heating arises. DEVI can provide you with an outstanding range of DEVImats of all sizes for your convenience, plus DEVIreg thermostats that offer hassle-free heating control. The combination of these two DEVI products is a match made in heaven, as outlined in this article here. If you need more convincing, we will dazzle you with select showcases of some of DEVI's most distinguished success stories - from apartments in the UK to Middle Eastern cold stores.Case study 1: Cambridge Marque Residential buildings When first introduced in 2015, Cambridge's Marque residential buildings were touted as representing a 'iconic addition to an old city'. At 2697 square feet, it is easily the tallest residential building in the eminent city and boasts a luxurious layout. There are plenty of life-enhancing facilities on offer, such as secure underground parking, residents-only gym, a private garden plus a 24 hour concierge service. Naturally, the next deluxe addition for the project was some wonderful underfloor bathroom heating for the Marque's residents: and DEVI were first on the list for the job. The products were all quickly installed with minimal issues and complications by the DEVI UK team.  The Marque's Head of Electric Center said of the job DEVI had implemented: DEVI managed to get a large quantity of mats on the site at short notice... DEVI has been extremely helpful and thorough in assisting me throughout the project. Our contractor... has been very pleased with the quality and ease of installing the DEVIcomfort and Thermostat. Case Study 2: The Energy Plus House in Denmark Solar panels powering and heating a house during the freezing cold winter months in Scandinavia, where the sun never shines? Sounds a tricky proposition. Well, the Energy+ House in Norway has gone some distance to achieving this goal, even managing to produce more heat than it receives. It does this with the help of - you guessed it - DEVImat electric underfloor heating and a ventilation system with heat recovery. The combined heating and ventilation system are controlled via a single panel and is able to run maintenance free. What's more is that the Energy+ house requires no special structures and is apparently replicable in all types of buildings. The Energy+ House massively benefits from the DEVILink system, a two way communication system that can all be easily controlled from an optimally placed colour touch screen. The system provides complete floor heat control combined with room sensors to afford occupants with the highest levels of comfort. This results in substantial energy savings due to the individually adjusted periods of temperature lowering - a key factor for achieving a healthy and comfortable climate in modern homes. Case study 3: DEVImat Underfloor Heating in a Panda Store in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia One of the Middle East's largest cold stores, a 'Panda' store in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has been outfitted with DEVI complete protection system. This was quite an undertaking, as temperatures can drop to -30 degrees Celsius across this vast expanse of retail area, and inadequate heating could lead to the loss of huge amounts of frost-exposed produce. The total size of the project is 8,000 m2 and the total installed power consumption is approximately 160kW. It was completed without a hitch and a representative of Danfoss Dubai stated, regarding the unqualified success of the undertaking, that: We are glad that DEVI was chosen as the reliable partner for the construction of the biggest Middle Eastern cold store... we strongly believe that DEVI meets all expectations and demands required by such large construction projects So is DEVImat definitely the antidote for freezing floors this crispy Christmas season? The three case studies given in this article were a few among many. DEVI has consistently proven itself to be reliable and the most sought after electrical heating specialists on the globe. But are they are good fit for your home? The answer is quite simply, yes. We here at Sparks can offer DEVImats, DEVIcomforts and DEVIregs  at extremely affordable prices, with easy installation (as demonstrated in this article here), and excellent communication between DEVI products across any type of building. A short video guide for DEVI underfloor installation:  DEVI aim their products at members of the general public above anyone else, even with the grand-scale projects exampled in this article, and should be your first port of call for underfloor heating this Christmas!

Floor heating has been known and loved by many for a very long time now. Even ancient Romans liked this simple comfort and used circulating warm water under their marble floors in order to have warm floors. Nowadays the electrical floor heating solutions provided by DEVI are not only comfortable but also energy-efficient with a huge focus on environmental friendliness. However, we often hear a lot of myths about floor heating, and many of them concern installation. Let’s dispel the most common six myths about electrical heating installation. Myth 1: Electrical floor heating is complicated to install. Not true. Heating mats are a solution that can easily be mounted whether it is on new or old sub-floors. The installation time will be the same, regardless of the type of flooring under which the system is installed. Also, the heating cables offered by DEVI are easy to install especially when the newly designed DEVI Turntable is used. Installers proved that using the DEVI Turntable makes the installation of the DEVIflex or DEVIsafe cables much faster and easier. Myth 2: Floor heating can only be used in bathrooms Wrong! Electric floor heating can be used in all types of rooms such as bedrooms, kitchens, and hallways. Nowadays, thanks to modern thermostats (such as the DEVIreg Touch), floor heating is often used as a reliable and energy-efficient solution of choice for all types of buildings (including low-energy houses). You can easily install electrical floor heating in newly built houses as well as existing ones during renovation. The DEVI floor heating is often preferred and installed in residential, apartment blocks, renovated buildings, and public buildings. Myth 3: Electric floor heating can only be installed under terracotta Wrong again. Floor heating can be installed under lots of different types of flooring. DEVI electrical heating solutions do not take up any space, which allows designing a space in each room as you please. You can install the DEVImats under any wooden floors, concrete floors, or even laminate floors. Myth 4: A fault means that you have to rip up the whole floor Not quite. The DEVI heating cables have a very long lifetime; they come with a 20-year warranty. But in case of any misfortune, there is no need to rip up the whole floor. The problem can be pinpointed to a few centimeters of accuracy so that only one or two tiles (for example) have to be removed to make a repair possible. Nevertheless, if this needs to be done, in the case of a rare fault, the DEVI warranty of 20 years covers full floor repair. Myth 5: Using electrical heating is the most environmentally unfriendly way of heating Not true. An electrically heated house with electric floor heating and solar cells fulfills the requirements of the EU Building Performance Directive. The electrical house is cost-competitive since it needs no other energy sources apart from electricity and fresh water. This is why nowadays electric heating is the solution of choice for low-energy houses. Regarding the fact that the EU expects that 65% of electricity production will come from solar cells, wind, and nuclear energy in 2020, electrical heating is clearly the preferable choice. Improving the energy performance of buildings is a particularly critical step in reducing the EU’s carbon footprint. Myth 6: Using electrical heating for outdoor heating is a high-cost solution Not really. For example, the DEVI outdoor heating systems are equipped with energy-efficient and cost-reducing, advanced intelligent thermostats that automatically regulate 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 build-up of ice. Nevertheless, you always have the option to manually control the system via the thermostat. An outdoor heating system from DEVI is quick to install, easy to control and inexpensive to operate. The desired snow and ice prevention effect can be fully achieved by installing cables only in those areas that are most susceptible to major build-ups of snow and ice, for example where buildings meet each other, around exposed downpipes or at points where the most melt water is channeled.
