In the Heat of the Night Step on Heated Floors

February 06, 2012 00:02 AM  BY  JEN HALLAM

Cold Floors are Ancient History

Warm floors all day. Think about it. Dream about it. Now make it a reality. In the dark hours of the night if you find yourself quietly slipping out of the covers and wandering your halls to hit the fridge for a little midnight snack, imagine stepping onto heated floors . . . warm, inviting, smile-producing heated floors. Radiant heated floors can make that little twilight vision a real life scenario. It would be a wonderful story to share with your co-workers in the morning. "Hey guys, listen to this. I woke up last night for a snack and walked barefoot (insert disbelieving gasp from your work mates here) to the kitchen." Barefoot? they'll all cry.

You'll go on to explain the beauty of radiant floor heating and how it made slipper-free foot paths to your kitchen. You can tell them how your radiant heated floor makes it possible to stroll, not run frantically to the bathroom in the morning. You now take your time as you saunter, toes bared, down the hall each morning. They'll have a little hint of something in their eyes as you regale them of the wonderful tales of your radiant heated floors in the heat of the night and it will look a little bit like jealousy, until you can explain to them how they could enjoy the same luxury as you with a simple radiant floor installation. Cold floors are no more, only warm, happy, shiny floors.

Modern Heat

The Comfort of Radiant Heat

You’ve seen it happening; the fall colors are appearing. That means the cold temperatures are not far away. If you haven’t made preparations to maximize your comfort this winter it is not too late by any means. Radiant floor heating would be the ideal way to do this.

Family on radiant heated floor. With radiant heating, the floor area is heated and that leads to a comfort level unmatched by a traditional forced air system. Warmer temperatures are radiated at the floor so you get the heat where you can benefit from it. In a traditionally heated room the warmer air is concentrated near the ceiling as warm is blown in through a heating duct.  The floor area can remain cool or even cold. That does you no good with regards to comfort and isn’t that what it is all about? Heating from the ‘top down’ means less efficiency as well.

If you haven’t experienced radiant heat, do yourself a big favor and do so. These systems can even be installed in existing homes over existing surfaces. It would be the greatest comfort enhancing project you can do to your home. Before the real cold arrives, do your feet (and the rest of you) a big favor and install a radiant floor heating system. Then proceed to enjoy the most comfortable winter you have ever experienced.

Revitalize Home Heating with Radiant Floor Heat

Every year it is wise to evaluate your home heating system whether it is a furnace, a wood burning stove, or propane fireplace. Over time things wear out, get dirty, run down and need a little extra TLC. At times home heating systems fail altogether and need to be replaced. If your heating system is on its last leg you’ll need to do some research on what type of heating system you’ll replace it with. Sticking with the same old system may not be the best or most cost effective and efficient way of thinking. ComfortTile heated floor mats have a mass appeal for supplementing your home heating system using the principle of radiant heating. The heated floor mats warm produce heat from the floor warming the entire room with radiant heat.

Warmzone offers floor heating systems than can easily be retrofitted into your existing floor plans as well as installed in new construction jobs.

You Won't Hear Electric Radiant Floor Heating, but You'll Feel it

September 01, 2011 00:09 AM  BY  JEN HALLAM

Silent and Efficient Home Heating

The beauty of a radiant floor heating system is that it not only heats your home efficiently but it also does it silently. As opposed to the typical furnace that cranks on when in use and blasts heat through ducts surrounding your home creating a definite noise when on, a radiant floor heating systems operates quietly. Underfloor heating is so quiet you probably won’t even know when it’s on, except for the fact that you will feel the warmth. You’ll enjoy silent warmth and probably see a cost savings in the long run due to the efficient nature of radiant heat.

Radiant heat operates on the basic principles of emanating heat. The heat cables beneath the surface of your flooring are controlled by an easy to program thermostat, so you can program the heat to generate in the spaces you want it when you need it most. There are heating cable mats that feature pre-spaced cable woven into a flexible mat that can be unrolled like a rug and installed with relative ease. The mats come with self-adhesive backing so they are secured appropriately to the subfloor. Electric radiant floor heating provides fast response times, are simple to install, and operate silently with low hassle and high efficiency.
