Q: What is FloorHeat?
A: FloorHeat is a thin, flexible, yet very durable self-regulating polymer heating element. It is used
to provide radiant floor heat for all types floor surfaces, and comes in a roll (9 and 12-inches
wide), and can be cut to the desired length and field-wired on site.
Q: Does it require any floor buildup?
A: No.
FloorHeat radiant heat systems are virtually "paper thin,"
so no floor buildup or construction
alteration is required. This is not the case with other types of radiant heat systems.
Q: Does FloorHeat use a thermostat? How is it activated?
A: Each radiant heat system uses a sleek, programmable thermostat. The thermostat can be
programmed to measure floor temperature or air temperature, or it can be set to be on at desired times.
Q: How does FloorHeat and radiant heat affect hardwood flooring?
A: FloorHeat produces
evenly distributed heat that has no negative effects on hardwood
floors or
any other type of flooring.
Q: What if I want to heat my existing floor? Can I still use your floor warming system?
A: Yes. If you have access to underneath the existing floor, you can install our our RetroHeat system
or the 9-inch rolls of FloorHeat into the floor joist.
Q: How long is the warranty?
A: FloorHeat comes with an industry leading 20-year manufacturer's warranty.
Q: How long has FloorHeat been in use?
A: FloorHeat was first used over 29 years ago. Since then, thousands of FloorHeat systems have
been sold worldwide and are still working perfectly.
Q: How is FloorHeat secured to the floor?
A: FloorHeat is extremely durable. With a wood subfloor, the FloorHeat can be directly nailed or
stapled through. With a concrete subfloor, the FloorHeat can be glued down. Whoever is
installing the flooring on the
FloorHeat can do so as
if the FloorHeat were not even there.
A
plastic lathe (not metal lathe) should be used when using tile on
top of the FloorHeat.
Q: What kind of floor can I put over FloorHeat?
A: Virtually any floor surface can be installed directly over the FloorHeat radiant heat system,
including tile, slate, marble, hardwood, and carpet.
Q: Can I use FloorHeat under a metal roof?
A: Warmzone offers RoofHeat for roof deicing and gutter melt.
It is essentially the same quality
heating element as FloorHeat and is the best solution for
discreet roof heating systems. Warmzone
also offers several other roof heating and gutter melt
solutions.
Q: Does Warmzone provide detailed layouts for purchased systems?
A: Warmzone provides
detailed layouts for most systems at the price of $0.35 per square foot.
