Trick or Treat? Is Radiant Heat Installation a Trick or a Treat for End Users?
Warmzone offers a relatively simple product called ClearZone snow melting mats. These radiant heat mats are quite simple to install but come with a few disclaimers that if followed will help you avoid mishap. The great news is that ClearZone mats have pre-spaced cable rows making it simple to follow the correct method of laying the heat cables down. One of the most important things to be aware of is that you must never cut the cables in an attempt to make them fit an awkward space or fill in a gap. Also, be sure to lay the cables at least two inches apart from its neighbor. If the cables are placed too closely they will overheat and reduce the life span of the radiant heat cables. No matter how confident you are with your placement and installation it is usually wise to hire a professional electrician to do the final inspection. Following these simple guidelines will help your radiant heated driveway installation be a wonderful treat instead of a horrible trick. |

knocking along with those chubby-handed costumed
kiddies. It is a time to seriously consider installing

Radiant Floor Heating Doesn’t Just Sound Too Good To Be TrueI lived in New England for a few years and loved my time there. The Red Sox even won the World Series while I was there. It was hard not to get caught up in the thrill and excitement of it all. Because I was so fond of New England, news stories about the area always peak my interest. A recent article about the famous New England candy company, Necco made me take note. The company is entering a new world of candy making by stepping away from artificial coloring and flavors. They are beginning to use ingredients like beet juice and cabbage to flavor and color their famous wafer candy. On the surface this sounds like a good idea, but on a practical level, when I think of eating beet flavored candy I hesitate for just a moment. As with most ideas however, if it sounds like a good one it usually pans out okay. Their candy will be more healthful and really the flavor won’t resemble beets and cabbage or else who would buy it? I feel the same
way about radiant floor heating. It sounds like a
great idea and it is. It doesn’t involve random
vegetables but it sure produces a great end result: a
heated floor. Someone, somewhere initially had to come up with the idea of using radiant heat in a floor heating system. Just like the research and development team at Necco who said, “Hey, let’s make our candy healthier.” Good ideas produce good products. Radiant floor heat is comfortable, clean, and energy efficient. The long-term benefits of radiant floor heating systems make them ideal for any new construction or remodeling project you have in the works. If you’ve had the good idea to heat your bathroom, entryway, or kitchen let Warmzone’s good idea help you. Install radiant floor heating because it doesn’t just sound too good to be true, it is true. |
