Installation of Radiant Heat System Components
The Control Unit is hung between two wall studs and is mounted
to the backplate, which is included in the rough-in kit (see the How It Works
section). Cold lead is then attached to the transformer, which is
inside the control box, and is run to the start of the Zmesh.
The cold lead is then spliced to a transition plate, which is soldered to the Zmesh (see the transition plate image to the right).
One control unit is needed for each system (zone). A single Zmesh zone will cover an area up to 740 sq. ft. when
heating under carpet and up to 675 sq. ft. when heating under hardwood or tile.
Zmesh is an excellent product for heating your entire home or for simply heating your floors. Zmesh is
a 12"-wide, bronze mesh similar to screen door material and comes in 50 to 350 foot rolls (in 50 ft. increments).
This unique radiant heat product can be installed
under any floor surface. Zmesh is secured to wood subfloors with staples and to concrete with glue. Because
of its low profile, there is practically no floor buildup when using Zmesh.
The installation of our radiant heat systems is fairly easy compared to other
radiant heat systems. Contractors and experienced "do-it-yourselfers" will
install the system with ease. Warmzone does recommend, however, involving an electrician
when working with high-voltage wires and when hooking up the power to the system.
Technical support is available 5 days a week, and the installation manual and
system diagrams are available online. Services for professional AutoCad layouts are
available for $0.35 per sq.ft. Layouts are beneficial for assuring the proper installation of the Zmesh.
