Q: What is Zmesh?
A: Zmesh is a 9"- and 12"- wide, bronze, wire mesh that resembles screen door material. It is used
to add warmth to cold floors, total space heat, and melt ice and snow off roofs.
Q: Does it require any floor buildup?
A: No. Because it is "paper thin," no floor buildup or construction alteration is required. This is not the
case with other types of radiant heat systems.
Q: Does Zmesh use a thermostat? How is it activated?
A: Each system uses an attractive, 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 Zmesh and radiant heat affect hardwood flooring?
A: The Zmesh and the heat produced by it have no effect on hardwood 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
into the floor joist.
Q: How long is the warranty?
A: Zmesh comes with an industry leading, 25-year manufacturer's warranty.
Q: How long has Zmesh been in use?
A: Zmesh was first used over 25 years ago. Since then, thousands of Zmesh systems have been
sold worldwide and are still working perfectly.
Q: How is Zmesh secured to the floor?
A: With a wood subfloor, the Zmesh can be directly nailed or stapled through. With a concrete
subfloor, the Zmesh can be glued down. Whoever is installing the flooring on the Zmesh can
do so as
if the Zmesh were not even there. Plastic lathe (not metal lathe) should be used
when using tile on
top of the Zmesh.
Q: What kind of floor can I put over Zmesh?
A: Virtually any floor surface can be installed directly over the Zmesh, including tile, slate, marble,
hardwood, and carpet.
Q: Can I use Zmesh under a metal roof?
A: It is possible to use Zmesh under a metal roof for snow melting. However, it is recommended that
RoofHeat, BlueHeat or Danfoss Cable be used for metal roofs.
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.
