For those that have never seen it a heat loss for the room is determined then you order the length wattage of cable you need.
Radiant heat cable ceiling.
For rooms with a height of over 3 5 meters a higher flow temperature is required.
Disadvantages limitations problems and cons of electric cable ceiling heat same problems as other forms of electric heat.
In fact the temperature variant from ceiling to floor is only about 1 c 2 f.
Btw i had something similar many years ago 2x4 radiant panels that dropped into my rec room s drop ceiling grid.
Since the cables wires in this type of ceiling heating heat by electrical current resistance this is indeed a specific form of electric heat and suffers just about all the drawbacks of it.
Here the radiant heat can unfold in the best possible way with flow temperatures of between 26 and 40 c.
But unless you re really intent on period authenticity bus s suggestion is probably the right one install something more maintainable and more efficient.

The second was when the ho cut a hole in the ceiling for a paddle fan and cut the heat cable wires in the sheetrock and come winter wondered why the heat didn t work.
