Nuheat® Cable Guides are used to secure Nuheat cables directly to the subfloor when installing without a membrane system. The guides snap together and are fastened to the subfloor to maintain proper cable spacing according to the Installation Layout Plan.
Each guide is designed to hold heating cables in place during installation and throughout the self-leveling process, helping prevent cable movement or floating before encapsulation.
