Overview:
Orbit Manufacturing has been in the electrical radiant heating business since 1952. We began as a manufacturer of electrical residential and light commercial baseboard, and added an architectural line of electrical products in 1980. In 1990, we established our initial agreement to distribute Nexans heating cable throughout the United States, becoming one of the first domestic radiant heating system suppliers.
Our partner, Nexans, is the worldwide leader in the cable industry. A pioneer in electric radiant heating, Nexans has been manufacturing radiant heating cable since 1926. Nexans' extensive experience and superior heating cable products along with Orbit's knowledgeable sales and customer support, form an ideal partnership that brings you the radiant comfort that you deserve.

Residential Radiant Heating Applications

Orbit electric radiant heating systems can be used for a wide variety of applications. For indoor applications, our Nexans cables and mats can be used to warm any kind of floor, including hardwood, tile, laminates and marble. For outdoor applications, Nexans cables can melt snow and ice from ground surfaces such as concrete, brick, pavers or asphalt, as well as roofs and gutters.

Orbit electric radiant heating is safe, effective and costs up to 30% less than conventional systems for most residence applications. While older heating systems such as hot water, electric baseboard, radiators, and forced air systems will warm up the air in a room to various degrees, they all fall short when it comes to warming up the floors.

Removing snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks, walkways, handicapped ramps, and patios around your house can be time consuming and even dangerous. Sometimes, it's an ongoing process; just hours after you finish clearing, you've got another hazardous layer of frozen ice or snow to remove in order to prevent your families or visitors from slipping and hurting themselves.

Many roof leaks are the direct result of snow and ice build-up in gutters or along the roof's edge. These ice dams create pressure on roofing material, lifting and damaging the seal. When the ice melts from rising heat or warming temperatures, the water has no path to the gutter or downspout - it is blocked by the icy buildup - and has nowhere to go but inside your house, where water damage can occur.

Our reliable, durable and heavy-duty radiant heating systems are ideal for melting snow and ice on almost any ground surface, including concrete, asphalt, and brick - on steps or level surfaces. Our Nexans TXLP cable consists of a high quality conductor, XLPE insulation, surrounded by a metal jacket and sealed with a PVC covering. The use of a ground rated insulating barrier beneath the cable serves to greatly reduce the load and while increasing efficiency. The cable is completely concealed, easy to install, and comes with a 10-year warranty.

By installing Nexans cable on your building's roof and along gutters, you can solve this problem once and for all. You'll be able to effectively drain away water from melted snow, and keep your gutters free from ice. And by using an automatic gutter ice melting controller, the cable will operate only when you need it, minimizing operating costs.

Orbit's radiant heating products are ideal for warming warehouses, garages, industrial and commercial space, or other structures with large open concrete floor areas.

The Nexans Millimat is the perfect solution for thin set floor installations. Our high quality cable is woven into a fiberglass mat to set the cable spacing and to provide a medium for securing the cable to the floor, simplifying installation. These UL listed mats are available in either 120 or 230 volt and a variety of lengths to fit any room configuration. Once the mat is secured to the sub-floor, a thin set mastic is applied with a 3/8" notched trowel in just one step, resulting in a low profile floor elevation.
