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.

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.

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.

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.

By its very nature radiant heat seeks out colder objects and areas to warm, lending itself well to your floor heating needs. Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat begins by locating the coldest and closest objects from its source. This is why radiant heat is ideal for floor heating.

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.

Warm Tile Floors - The Very Definition of Comfort

If you look up “ultimate comfort” in the dictionary, there may be a mention of radiant heated tile floors. Well, there would be if I had any influence with Mr. Webster. Hopefully you have had the experience of walking on a heated floor. Better yet, hopefully you have had the experience of living in a home with a heated tile floor. It's a comfort that just can't be beat.

Radiant heated floors utilize a wire grid that is installed either in a concrete slab or placed in thin set on top of the slab, directly under the tile. A sensor in the floor is wired to a programmable thermostat, so you can maintain the desired temperature or activate the system only when you want. If you have a raised wood subfloor, the radiant heat cable is installed on the top of that and the finish surface is then installed over it. Tile is a common surface for radiant heated floors. Not only is tile attractive, it has a low “R” value, which means it won’t insulate you from the heated floor. This equates to efficiency. And nowadays, energy-efficiency is paramount.

One of the other big advantages of a heated floor is that it enables you to easily adjust the level of heat for each room. Want one room a little warmer than another? It’s easily accomplished with this set up. With a forced air system it’s not so easy.

Many tout the potential of increased efficiency using a heated tile floor system. That’s cool – or warm I should say – but I can’t stress enough the added comfort this form of heat will offer. You’ll lose track of your slippers. If your feet are warm you will be warm all over. Trust me, I'm a tile setter and I've installed a heated tile floor in my home. I haven't worn a pair of slippers since!

Chopping wood this winter, or comfortable under floor heating? Heating your home this winter, doesn't mean having to go back to the dark ages.

Fall is here and the weather is getting cold. What are you doing to prepare for winter? Making sure your house is properly insulated is a good start, but what about heating? Higher energy prices have people running to find alternative heating methods for their homes – many are buying wood, pellet stoves and electric heaters, but are these really the best solutions?

Radiant heat is making leaps and bounds, new products are available that are lower in cost and high in efficiency. The best part of heating your home with radiant floors is the increase in your home’s value (not to mention, added comfort).

One of the newest products to hit the radiant heating market is called the Warm Ribbon. This innovative new electric radiant heating product sits completely flat against the floor, and doesn’t need to be embedded in thin set (this is rare with radiant heating products). Because of these two factors, you don’t have to worry about raised floors (which causes problems with opening and closing doors), and installation is a breeze. It comes in mat form that easily rolls out onto the surface area and is secured by the adhesive backing. The price won’t have you running for the door either!

With the cold winter months approaching there is nothing better than staying cozy and comfortable in your warm house. Probably the best way to do this is with something you may not think of at first, through the use of a heated floor.

The official start of winter is just days away, and right on cue is a cold front striking the western part of the U.S. This means one thing, cold weather will be sweeping eastward across the country. Heated floors are an ideal way to combat the goose bumps that will invariably follow. Electric radiant floor heat utilizes heat cable installed under the finish surface – usually tile – that not only removes the chill from the floor but also provides the most comfortable heat you can imagine. It makes the most difference to your comfort of any other type of heat I know of.

Radiant heat also comes in hydronic form, where tubing is installed in the floor and heated water is circulated by the use of a pump. Electric radiant heat is more common as it is more economical to install and generally provides heat to the floor much quicker.

Radiant heated floors can also be installed over existing surfaces. If you have considered a bathroom remodel, nothing may be more rewarding than electric radiant floor heating. It’s heat for your feet. Your feet will send it north and you will look back at the radiant heat installation as the best thing you ever did.
