Low Profile, Electric Underfloor Heat

June 08, 2010 00:06 AM  BY  BENSON RICKS

Efficient, Discreet, Radiant Floor Heat

Radiant heat has been around many years now for very good reasons. Electric underfloor heating is just plain hard to beat when it comes to ways of providing efficient heat for your home or business. I’m sure you have heard of heated floor technology by now. Rows of heat cable, mats or other heating elements are laid out on the subfloor and the finish surface is applied over that. ComfortTile floor heating cable is a proven, and commonly chosen radiant heat system that is easy to install, and has become the workhorse of radiant heating systems. ComfortTile systems offer a single point connection, allowing you to connect one end to the thermostat and be done. No need to “loop” or connect the other end to a controller.

Warm Ribbon and FloorHeat are also excellent choices when there is need to keep the profile extremely low. Both floor heating systems are almost paper thin, and the low profile also makes FloorHeat idea for discreet roof heating systems (aka, RoofHeat). Both Warm Ribbon and FloorHeat systems come in rolls that are conveniently rolled out for easy installation. Virtually any finish surface can be applied over the top. The FloorHeat system is also a low-voltage, self-regulating floor heating system.

One of the nice features of a radiant heated floor system is that you program or control zones separately, so you can shut down any rooms that you aren’t using. There is not a more comfortable and energy-efficient heat solution than an electric radiant floor heating system. It’s simply a heat that can’t be beat.

The Joys of Radiant Heat

April 01, 2010 00:04 AM  BY  BENSON RICKS

Radiant Snow Melting and Floor Heating Systems Rock Our World

Radiant heated drivewayIt’s not something you might think of every day but radiant snow melting systems are certainly something you’ll wish you had at certain times of the year. Automated snow melting systems have proven critical in many parts of the country – for both commercial and residential applications. How much easier can it get than to pull into a snowless driveway after a full day of snow fall? Or better yet, how about waking up to a snow covered landscape and a clear driveway?

From heated driveways and roof ice melting systems to cozy heated floors, radiant heating has provided new levels of convenience, comfort and safety in the last few years. And not only do you have a choice nowadays to install these conveniences when building a home or commercial project, but existing driveways and floors can be retrofitted with electric radiant heating systems. The technology and products have advanced to the point where radiant heat offers reliable, fully automated, maintenance-free performance. You owe it to yourself to explore the many snow melting and floor heating options.

Turn Your Driveway Into a No Snow Zone

February 26, 2010 00:02 AM  BY  BENSON RICKS

Clear the Way With a Radiant Snow Melting System

We are in the thick of snow season and I know each of us have other things we prefer to shoveling snow. You are aware aren’t you that you don’t really need to be shoveling that snow? Electric heated driveways are not just a fantasy any more. They are the ticket to easy snow removal. Snow melting systems are a convenience that will over time become more of a necessity as we realize how functional and affordable they are. Radiant heated driveway with brick paversJust as microwave ovens used to be a luxury, heated driveways may be such right now but that will change. Oops, did I go back too far? Yes, believe it or not microwave ovens have not always been around. I remember the days, oh I digress.

Radiant snow melting systems consist of a wiring system installed within the surface of the driveway or sidewalk. A sensor will automatically signal the control unit which actives the system when conditions for snow are present. The surface is heated and the snow is gone. Your driveway is now a “snow-free zone”. How much more convenient can it get than arriving at home with a snow free driveway? Seeing the snow on your neighbor’s driveway may remind you of the days when you had to shovel, but chances are, you won’t really miss those times. But be a good friend and tell your neighbor that radiant snow melting systems can also be installed in existing surfaces. He’ll certainly thank you for it.

Toss the Thick Socks and Enjoy Bare Feet Year Round

February 19, 2010 00:02 AM  BY  JEN HALLAM

Floor Warming Mats Keep Floor Surfaces Perfect for Naked Toes

If you are anything like my mom, you loathe the thought of winter when you have to slip back into socks and shoes to endure the extreme cold. She is a bare foot lover and would walk inside and out with nothing covering her feet year round if she could. She doesn’t like to be tied down to the constraints of socks. “Let those toes breathe!” she would shout as the snow fell. But sadly, she has to don thick socks once in awhile to keep her toes intact and her feet happy. One method of helping those toes breathe is to choose to heat your home from the floor up.

Installing heat cable (mats) for heated floor in bathroom. In-floor heating systems keep floor surfaces at an ideal temperature to strut your naked toes around the house. Warming a floor using radiant floor heating is the most efficient way to heat your home.

Warmzone offers a variety of floor heating systems that are available in convenient floor warming mats (heat cable that is pre-spaced and woven in mats for easy installation). Warmzone floor heating systems feature perfected the technology allowing radiant heat to work for you. They also keep your floors warm year round, allowing you to enjoy the freedom of a sock-less world if you so choose. My mom rejoices every time she steps bare footed across her radiant heated floors.

No one I know enjoys stepping onto a cold and uninviting floor in the morning after leaving their cozy bed. With the assistance of floor warming mats placed seamlessly beneath your floors you’ll never have that sensation again. Warmzone warming mats can be installed under your existing flooring and are extremely popular in bathrooms. It seems these rooms across America suffer most with cold floors and we are especially prone to want a warm floor after stepping out from a shower or warm bath. So, if the thought of remodeling your entire home overwhelms you, start there and feel the wonderful warmth that radiant floor heating has to offer. And while you are at it, start to toss those thick socks and make room in your life for the affordable luxury of heated floors in your home.

If It Sounds Like a Good Idea, It Usually Is

October 27, 2009 00:10 AM  BY  JEN HALLAM

Radiant Floor Heating Doesn’t Just Sound Too Good To Be True

I 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.

Radiant Floor Heating: Maintenance Free, the Way to Be

September 30, 2009 00:09 AM  BY  AMY MORBY

Say Goodbye to Annual Heater Maintenance with Heated Floors

You dread it every year. The dreaded heater maintenance. It's been sitting there all summer long, it's dusty, it's old, and you just don't want to deal with it. Luckily for you, there is a way to put an end to your annual heater maintenance once and for all: radiant floor heating.

Radiant floor heating systems are virtually maintenance free. That's right, with absolutely no effort from you, heated floors bring you unparalleled comfort at an affordable price.

Traditional home heating methods require a daunting list of tasks you should perform yearly to keep them running properly. With electric radiant floor heat, however, all of these annual tasks can be eliminated from your schedule.

Let's compare the maintenance tasks of forced air heating and radiant floor heating:

 

Conventional Heating Systems

Radiant Floor Heating Systems

1. Check the pilot light 1. No pilot lights here.

2. Clean your furnace filter. If it's beyond repair, buy a new one. If you don't do this, your heater has to work harder, use more energy, and send your bill through the roof.

2. No messy filters required. Only perfectly efficient underfloor heating that warms up the house.

3. Brush and vacuum the exchanger surfaces and blower blades.

3. Nope. Non-existent.

4. Seal air leaks with duct tape.

4. Forget about it. No air leaks here.

5. Call a professional to make sure you didn't screw anything up.

5. Save your money. Radiant floor heating systems

With all the extra costs you rack up with conventional heating system maintenance, you could just install a radiant floor heating system and forget about it all. Don't call the expensive repair guy or mess with another nasty, dirty filter. Install floor heating in your home today and see the difference it makes for your wallet and your home.
