Energy Efficient – Although radiant heat is the oldest heating technology in the world, it is also the undisputed, most efficient method for heating homes today. Virtually no energy is wasted as over 99 percent of the energy is converted directly to heat.
Health Benefits – Radiant heat systems help to keep dust and allergens to a minimum. Forced-air systems typically blow dust and allergens throughout the house. But radiant floor heat does not use a blower, so there is no dust being circulated throughout the house. Needless to say, this is a tremendous benefit for those with allergies or respiratory problems.
Maintenance Free Operation – Electric radiant floor heating systems are virtually maintenance free. The systems have no moving parts and no filters to replace or ducts to clean.
Versatile – Warmzone® offers a wide variety of floor heating systems that work well with virtually all types of floor coverings, each with its own characteristics. With the variety and versatility of these systems, just about any type of flooring can be installed over a radiant heating system.
Simple to Operate – Warmzone offers thermostats with 7-day programmability, Warmzone offers thermostats with 7-day programmability and Wi-Fi capability, so homeowners can program the system to operate according to their schedule. Each room uses its own thermostat, adding efficient, precise control and convenience.
Operates Silently and Discreetly – Radiant floor heating systems operate cleanly and silently. The only evidence of an electric radiant floor heating system is the thermostat on the wall (and luxurious warmth).
Safe, Comfortable, Even Warmth – ComfortTile floor heating systems produce luxurious warmth that is distributed safely and evenly throughout the house, and emit no measurable electromagnetic fields (EMF). The heat originates at your feet and spreads across the room, leaving no cold spots, unlike traditional heating systems.
Easy Installation – To facilitate the proper installation of radiant floor heating systems, Warmzone provides professional system designs as well as free installation training and support. Much of the initial installation can be done by any DIY homeowner; however, for warranty purposes it is important to have a licensed electrician connect the system to the power supply.
ComfortTile®: As Warmzone’s most popular floor heating system, the industry-leading ComfortTile heated floor systems feature a proven heat cable that is available in lengths off the spool or in mats. The floor heating mats consist of the thin, twin-conductor cable, pre-spaced on a flexible mesh backing. The mats provide quick, easy roll-out installation, and they have an adhesive backing so that they can be secured to the subfloor. The mats make the installation convenient and ensure proper cable spacing. For intricate or custom-shaped areas and rooms, the freestanding cable (off spools) offers greater flexibility. The pre-terminated cable can be installed to heat just about any area, under virtually any type of flooring, but is particularly suited for heating tile and stone floors. The cable comes with an impressive 25-year warranty.
FilmHeat™: The FilmHeat system features a unique, paper-thin (0.016-inches) heating element that is ideal for heating a variety of floating floors, including laminate, wood, LVT, bamboo, etc. The FilmHeat panels are affordable and serve as a popular choice for warming floating floors. The system carries a 25-year warranty.
Prodeso® Floor Heating Membrane: The Prodeso floor heating system utilizes ComfortTile heat cable that is routed through the pre-engineered channels of the flexible Prodeso membrane. The membrane is designed for heating floors without expansion joints in the screed. It is less than ¼-inch thick and can be installed over the entire subfloor as an uncoupling, crack isolating and waterproofing membrane.
In-Slab™: The In-Slab floor heating system is an affordable system designed for installation within the concrete slab. The durable heat cable is designed to be installed in concrete slabs, and is rugged enough to withstand the heavy stress of concrete pours. The cable is secured to remesh and then the concrete is poured. Just about any type of flooring can then be installed over the concrete slab. The In-Slab floor heating system is a popular choice for heating basement floors. Because of the concrete’s thermal properties, the In-Slab floor heating system is one of the most efficient floor heating systems available. In-Slab heat cable carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
RetroHeat® for heating existing floors: The RetroHeat floor heating system features thin heating panels (like the FilmHeat) that is designed to be stapled up between the floor joists to heat existing floors. These systems require that you have access to the floor joists, either through a crawl space or basement. After the heating panels are stapled up, batt insulation is applied over the heating element to direct all of the heat upward, warming the floor. This system allows homeowners to easily heat their existing floors without having to tear them up or do any major remodeling. RetroHeat can be used to effectively warm a variety of floor types, including ceramic tile, hardwood, laminates, and even carpeted flooring. The system is UL approved and carries a generous 25-year warranty.
FoilHeat™: The FoilHeat cut-and-turn floor heating mat is a unique electric floor heating system that is designed for use under carpet, laminate, and engineered wood. The FoilHeat mats consist of thin heating cable that is sandwiched between two layers of specially reinforced aluminum. The mats can be cut and shaped onsite to meet the specific requirements of the project.
Warmzone also carries several other proven floor heating systems, including the innovative low-voltage FloorHeat STEP® system. The thin, low-voltage polymer heating panel is a popular option for installation under hardwood floors. Warmzone also offers hydronic (water-based) floor heating systems.
