FAQ

What is the advantage of a heating jacket as opposed to a heating mat?

Heating jackets are always used when surfaces that extend over more than two levels need to be heated. As they are individually developed and manufactured for the individual surface to be heated, they fit perfectly and ensure an even heating.

Are Eltherm heating jackets easy to install?

As heating jackets have integrated thermal insulation and are custom-made, they are easy to fit and remove. This simplifies assembly, shortens installation times and reduces maintenance costs. As particularly high-quality materials are used, the heating jackets also have a long service life.
