Complete radiant ceiling heating kit in plaster ready to install FRICOKIT 132W - FRICO
This Fricokit allows you to install invisible electric heating in your ceiling, integrated directly into your plasterboard. Delivered ready to install with regulation and thermostat included, it offers a complete and efficient ceiling heating solution.
Plaster radiant ceiling: efficient and discreet heating
Contrary to popular belief, ceiling heating is just as efficient as underfloor heating. It is not heat that rises, but hot air. With radiation, the position of the source matters little. The Fricokit constitutes a complete heating system, although it can serve as supplementary heating in less well-insulated homes.
The efficiency of this system relies on a thin plaster layer of only 13 mm separating the heat source from the room. Without floor clutter (furniture, carpets), thermal diffusion reaches 80%. The response time is fast thanks to negligible inertia, without a floating screed to heat. The surface temperature does not exceed 32°C at nominal operation.
Contents of the Fricokit 132W kit
Each pack contains all the elements necessary for installation:
Radiant heating panels (44W and 88W)Neutral panels for thermal continuitySpecialized supply line (garland)TEVMIN11 Frico electronic thermostat
Panel specifications
Panel SKP36N: 0W - 1200x600x40 mm (neutral)Panel SKP3606: 44W - 600x600x40 mmPanel SKP3612: 88W - 1200x600x40 mm
The 132W kit covers approximately 1.80 m² and is suitable for a small room with a single regulation thermostat.
Simplified installation
The Fricokit is designed for professionals and experienced DIY enthusiasts. Installation consists of:
Positioning the metal frameworkConnecting the panels together via the garlandConnecting the whole to the junction boxConnecting the thermostat (230V single-phase power supply, 11A relay)
Sizing your installation
The required power depends on your home's insulation:
Very good insulation: 75 W/m² for supplementary heating, 85 W/m² for main heatingGood insulation: 85 W/m² for supplementary heating, 100 W/m² for main heatingAverage insulation: up to 100 W/m² maximum
Concrete example: for a 20 m² very well-insulated room, plan for 1500W (20 x 75) for supplementary heating, i.e., the FKIT1584 model at 1584W.
Advantages of plaster radiant ceiling
Optimal comfort: gentle radiant heat, stable temperature without air stratificationSpace preserved: totally invisible system, walls freed upAesthetics: identical appearance to a standard ceilingSilence: perfectly silent operation, acoustic correction between floorsHygiene: no air circulation, reduction of dust and dust mitesSafety: low surface temperature, protection against burns and vandalismSimplicity: easy installation and regulation, maintenance-freeEnergy performance: compliant with thermal regulations, controlled operating costs
Smart regulation
The included TEVMIN11 thermostat is a 6-stage electronic controller. Its first commissioning program ensures a gradual temperature rise over 10 days, preventing drying out and cracking of the boards after jointing.
