Heat the areas where you need heat with the "U"-shaped pads.

  • Standard height ceilings ± 2.7m2
  • Areas that can be closed off with a door
  • Windows with coverings
  • North facing rooms
  • These areas would require a minimum of 80 watts of heat per square metre for required warmth

HEATING FORMULA

4.50 x 4.00 - 18m2
18m2 x 80 watts heat = 1440 watts required.
Therefore a 1500 watt will heat the required area.
