Reviews of CHTK heating mats
Alexey Installed the cable, it has been working for three years, no questions, the sensor works, I am satisfied. We bought it at a low price, I don't remember exactly, but CTK was the most profitable.
Vitaliy. I'm sharing my impressions of warm floors CTK. I live in a private house where there is no gas. When the issue of heating arose, the choice fell on warm floors. I laid SNO-18 in all the rooms over the entire floor area, laying it 4 cm apart. The guys said it would burn out, but I took a risk and was right. It has been working for three winters without any problems. I am pleased with the heating speed. It reaches the temperature (30) in 20 minutes. I tried to set the thermostat to maximum, the surface heated up to 50 degrees. I think it would have given out up to 60 without any problems. Thank you, ChTK, for a quality heated floor.
Salesman-installer I have been selling and installing heated floors for 10 years. I have installed ChTK floors many times, and I have no complaints about the floors. They sell very well in the ChTK store. Not a single customer has come with questions.
ChTK heating mats – 25 years of honest warranty.
