Electric Foil Panels and Heating Cables
Give your plants the best start possible! Gives excellent germination and a high striking rate for cuttings and seeds.

Correct soil temperature stimulates plant growth, thus maximising yield and quality. Bottom heat cables and foils provide the commercial or home hobbyist with the means to efficiently control root temperature in young plants whilst maintaining a microclimate up to 45cm above the bed. The watt density is designed so that even on very cold nights, the bottom heat will keep the plants at the desired temperature.

Bottom heat units are supplied ready-to-install, complete with a factory fitted 'ADLOHEAT' weather resistant thermostat controller (capillary thermostat pictured below).

The system is simple to install and requires no specialist knowledge, just an electrical outlet.

We custom make to any size. Feel free to contact us for assistance with your requirements.

Electric Foil Panel

 

The facts:

  • Specifically designed laminated heating element between heavy aluminium foil and poly backing
  • Specifications: approx 150 watts per square metre (custom made to any output required) 240 Volt
  • Thermostat controller is factory fitted
  • For energy efficiency place 30-40mm polystyrene sheeting underneath foil or insulation foam (prices below).
  • Place heavy duty waterproof plastic film (solashield or similar) over the top and sides of foil like a tablecloth as protection against water damage to foil. (prices below)
  • Provides evenly distributed bottom heat as heat spreads easily along foil.
  • We custom make your foil to suit your size and heat requirements.
  • DO NOT ALLOW THE FOIL TO GET WET

The Benefits:

  • Safe to use
  • High speed germination
  • Low operating cost
  • Vigorous root development for cuttings and potted plants
  • Easy to keep clean and germ free
  • Lightweight
  • To use simply roll out, plug in and propagate.

Heating Cable Heat Cable

The facts:

  • A propagating cable consists of a thermostatically controlled heating element which is placed in a pre prepared growing box and buried in a layer of moist sand.
  • Heat then permeates through the sand providing a warm growing environment and microclimate. Ensure sand is always kept damp for maximum even heat distribution.
  • Specifications: approx 150 watts per square metre (custom made to any output required) 240 Volt
  • Thermostat controller is factory fitted to accurately control temperature.
  • We custom make to suit your size and heat requirements.

The Benefits

  • Extremely safe to use
  • High seed germination
  • Low operating cost
  • Vigorous root development for cuttings and potted plants
  • Ability to plant directly into sand mix if required
  • Durable, very long lasting.

Flexible Heat Pads

Redzone (By ADLOHEAT) flexible heat pads are manufactured from polyurethane to give water resistant properties combined with durability and flexibility. Designed for the horticultural, brew, hydroponic and pet industry.

  • 240 Volt
  • Low wattage
  • Superior durability
  • Washable
  • 1 year guarantee
  • Flexible
  • Quality Product
  • Economical

Our pads are made in various wattages to suit the purpose to which they are to be used.
Our 10 and 20 watt pads will give a temperature rise of approximately 12°C above the air temperature, for example on a 10°C day the pad surface will rise to 22°C. Our 30 watt and 60 watt pads (brew industry) will give approximately 26°C rise in temperature.

FOR PLANT USE: Soil temperature is crucial to an optimum growing environment, whether you are germinating lettuce seeds or propagating orchids. These fully portable pads produce spectacular results in higher seed/cutting germination and vigorous root development on cuttings and plants. The pad is of the highest quality and is economical to run.
