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.

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.

Kiss the Dust and Allergens Goodbye and say Hello to Clean, Efficient Heat

It may still be blustery outside, but spring is just around the corner, and you know what that means—spring cleaning! Of course, keeping your home warm and dust free might be difficult if you’ve still got an old forced air heating system, so what better time than now to make the switch to electric radiant floor heat?

Forced air heating systems do just that—force air, but more often than not, a slew of allergens come out with it, including harmful dust and pollen. Additionally, forced air heating systems aren’t exactly safe. Carbon monoxide leaks and fires are always on the minds of those with forced air heating. With the dust, dirt, and danger of forced air, it’s easy to see why consumers are flocking to the comfort and convenience of heated floors.

Radiant floor heating systems are a whole new echelon of home heating that leaves forced air heating in the dust. Radiant floor heat is the most effective way to heat your home. Rather than heating the air in the room, like forced air heating, radiant floor heating systems heat the floor and the surrounding objects, creating a perfectly even, perfectly luxurious heat. Additionally, heated floors take a lot less time than forced air heaters to heat your home, saving you money and also the environment’s resources.

So this year as you start your annual spring cleaning duties, don’t settle for the dusty old forced air heater. Say goodbye to allergen issues and carbon monoxide scares once and for all and make the switch to radiant floor heating. Once you experience the unparalleled warmth, comfort, and affordability of heated floors, you’ll never go back.

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.

Two Ways Radiant Heat Warms Your Home and Keeps you Cozy.

Radiant heat seems to be the new buzz word for new construction these days. New homes all over the place now come equipped with heated floors and radiant heated driveways. But what exactly is radiant heat? And what does it mean to you?

Radiant heat is the latest and greatest in home heating. Thousands of Americans are already reaping its numerous benefits and will never turn back after experiencing its perfectly even heat and comfort. Radiant heat warms you in two different ways: conduction and convection.

Conduction
Heat naturally goes from hot surfaces to cold surfaces to equalize temperature differences. The whole idea behind radiant heating is that the heat rises directly from the source and transfers to your body and other objects in the room, creating a cozy, even heat. It feels just like sitting in the sun on a pleasantly warm spring day or putting your hands around a warm cup of hot cocoa.

Convection
Radiant heated floors also use convection to heat your home. Heated floors start to heat the air in the room, causing it to rise and create that cozy ambience conventional heating systems only wish they could create. Forced air systems cause more movement in the room’s air, meaning it warms quickly and then rises to the ceiling where nobody can use it. With convection, warm air sits right in the room, keeping you and your family at the perfect temperature.

So there you have it—radiant heat at its simplest. Now that you know how it heats you, it’s high time you installed a radiant floor heating system in your home and put it to the test.

Warm and Psychologically Sound

Everyone loves heated floors. They’re delightfully cozy, efficient, and affordable, but is it just a luxury? Not in the least. You may not know it, but keeping your home warm not only keeps you cozy, but it may also keep you sane. That’s right; a warm a home has a number of psychological benefits that you may not know about, and what better way to keep your home warm than radiant floor heating?

Heat offers a number of psychological benefits. By keeping your home warm with heated floors, you stimulate your thermo-receptors, the receptors in your brain that respond to heat and cold. This helps block pain signals to your brain, reducing discomfort and temporarily increasing local blood circulation. With no pain and better circulation, you’re sure to be happier and healthier this winter—and all you had to do was install a radiant floor heating system in your home.

So radiant heated floors keep you happy, but do they also keep your wallet healthy? Absolutely. Radiant floor heat is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to heat your home. Heat rises evenly, heating the air around the room instead of rising to the top where nobody can feel it. Additionally, radiant floor heating systems come equipped with a timer that allows you to control when and where your heated floors switch on.

With so many benefits, you’d be crazy not to install electric radiant floor heat. Act now and ensure your sanity this winter. Less pain, happy brain, and a safe and healthy family this winter. What more could you want?

Comfort and Joy Isn’t Just Sung in a Christmas Carol - It’s How your Feet Feel with Radiant Heat

After recently returning from a much needed and joy filled vacation on the beach, I came home wondering how to keep my feet as warm as the sand does when I stroll down its welcoming path. The comfort and joy of that warmth should be bottled and used year round. If you have radiant heated floors in your home you are one of the lucky homeowners who simulate that same sunny, sandy warmth even when it is cold outside. Whether we know it or not the sand or hot sidewalk we find our tender toes on is applying the principle of radiant heat. Objects absorb radiant heat until they reach the same temperature as the original heat source. Once the temperatures are level to one another the heat slowly escapes to other areas that are cooler.

Radiant heat is unique as it transfers energy which is naturally searching for colder objects to apply heat too. When searching for an ideal way to heat your home many people are finding the comfort and joy of radiant heat. It is an excellent way to heat the colder spaces in your home. Radiant heat seeks out and begins warming the coldest objects and spaces in the room. For this reason radiant heat doesn’t rise like warm air and is generally placed under floors for optimal heat performance. In floor heating using the principle of radiant heat is one of those wonderful modern conveniences that bring us all comfort and joy.

Weighing in on the Safety Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating

Radiant floor heating is more than just the perfect way to heat your home—it’s also the safest. Other heating methods like space heaters and furnaces come with a slew of health and safety hazards. Radiant floor heating systems, on the other hand, offer nothing but easy, green, and affordable comfort for you and your family.

Space heaters might seem like a good idea, but in reality, they’re a disaster waiting to happen. According to nfpa.org, space heaters, space heaters accounted for 30 percent of home heating fires and 73 percent of home heating fire deaths in 2006.

Furnaces aren’t much better. They may be the most conventional home-heating method, but they’re more than just loud and unsightly—they’re a huge safety hazard. Furnaces use carbon monoxide, which can be deadly for you and your family should there be a leak. Additionally, the vents used in conventional heating methods are a breeding ground for dust and allergens that you pump through your home every time you turn on the heat.

Radiant floor heat, however, poses none of the same threats listed above. In fact, they have nothing to offer except huge health benefits. Floor heating systems use radiant heat, meaning that radiates from the heat cable and warmth throughout the room is created by warming up objects that warm the air. This method not only gives you consistent heat throughout your home but also eliminates the need for those allergen-ridden vents conventional heating systems love so much.

Radiant floor heating systems use no carbon monoxide, meaning you can rest assured knowing that you and your family are safe. Lastly, radiant floor heat cables are designed to prevent fire hazards. Unlike space heaters that tip over easily, radiant floor heat is placed under the floor using state-of-the-art heating cables that are designed to keep your family safe from fires.

Don’t put your family’s safety on the line. Install an energy-efficient radiant floor heating system in your home today and ensure your peace of mind.

The number one way to show you really haven’t forgotten about the coolest organs on your body: your feet.

Anyone with heated floors knows—nothing makes your feet happier than stepping onto a perfectly warmed floor. And likewise, anyone sans heated floors knows—nothing makes your feet angrier than stepping onto a floor of icy daggers. It may seem like a minor pleasantry, but in reality, floor heating is God’s little gift to your feet, and honestly, you owe it to them. That’s right—owe.

Those little extremities so easily taken for granted do a lot more for you than you realize. According to health24.com, the average person walks about 99,419 miles in their lifetime. That’s enough to roam the earth 4 times. What’s more, each step you take can put up to 4 times your body weight through your feet, which quickly adds up to a grand total of 500 tons a day. With those little facts in mind, does radiant floor heating still sound like a frivolous pleasantry? How about more like a common courtesy?

Radiant floor heat is the latest, greatest, and greenest way to give back to your feet. With their ability to single-handedly warm a room evenly within minutes, radiant floor heating systems are quickly taking the place of pedicures as the foot R&R of choice.

Unlike conventional heating systems, radiant floor heating systems heat from the floor to the ceiling, warming up objects in the room instead of the air. This is great news for your feet, which have more nerve endings per square centimeter than any other part of the body.

With all that your feet do for you, it just makes sense to show a little love and install heated floors in your home. They’re easy to install, easy on the pocketbook, and best of all—easy for your feet to love.
