Okay, it's winter, and here in the Midwest we keep those slippers by the bed and prepare ourselves for the cold walk over the bathroom floor in the morning. It's literally a wake-up call to crawl out of our warm beds and tiptoe over that cold floor. Is there a better way? YES!
Radiant Floor Warming Systems are a fantastic way to heat a room efficiently and comfortably. They warm the space by generating an even heat throughout your home. That means no heat loss through the ceiling, less fuel usage, reduced noise levels, and an overall body warmth. Another benefit is that they do not distribute allergens as forced air systems can do. To top it off, they're quiet and extremely energy efficient! Radiant heat is a comfortable healthy way to warm any space.This is a clean soundless system that brings warmth to any space. An example is some manufacturers provide zone heating using a programmable thermostat, which means heating room by room, use by use – heat only where you want, when you want it. Electric radiant heat allows homeowners to lower their central heating system while still being comfortable. It offers an energy saving alternative to keeping the forced air heating system running throughout the entire house and can help reduce a home’s overall energy consumption. And because their are no moving parts once it's installed safely encased in thinset/mortar, it is 100% maintenance free and will last the lifetime of your floors.
The applications can go beyond simply the bathroom or kitchen, and can serve as more than just a luxury. If rooms in your home comply with modern insulation requirements for your region, Nuheat can act as an effective and efficient heat source. This means less dependence on additional heat sources, as well as reduced energy costs associated with heating. However, for rooms with lower insulation levels (in older homes), additional heat sources may still be required, especially if upgrading insulation values proves difficult. Upgrading your insulation, however, regardless of your heat source will not only keep your house warmer but also lower heating bills.
There are many types of flooring that can be used with radiant heating. Select the flooring type you have and there is a specially designed product just for you!
Porcelain and Ceramic: Tile and stone floors are among the most popular applications in the industry. They are perfect for delivering radiant heat to naturally cold stone and tile surfaces to transform them into beautifully soothing warm floors.
Carpet: Environ™ electric underfloor heating systems are ideal for adding warmth to rooms with carpet, laminate or floating wood floors.
Concrete: If you want to enjoy your sunroom in all four seasons, or comfortably enjoy the beauty of a trendy new polished, stamped or stained concrete floor, you'll appreciate radiant heating under foot. Your concrete floors will be as warm and functional as they are attractive.
Wood Floors: Electric Floor Heating Systems for under hardwood floors are ideal to complement the strength and beauty of hardwood flooring. Turn any room in your home into a cozy, inviting space to enjoy.
