How FloorHeat Radiant Heated Floor Systems Work

Heating Element - The floor heating element is a thin, flexible and durable polymer heating element that is self regulating. When the ambient temperature rises, the electrical resistance in the heating element increases and the consumption of electricity decreases. So, as the material gets warmer, less electricity passes through the heating element, ensuring that the element will not overheat and making this one of the most energy-efficient systems on the market.

The floor heating system is ideal for renovation and new construction, and can be used under almost any flooring, including tile, stone, hardwood, laminate, resilient and carpet, etc. No additional floor buildup is required when heating floors with the FloorHeat radiant heated floor system. FloorHeat is a safe low-voltage radiant heating product for practically any application. 

Power Unit - The power unit contains the brains of the system, along with the step down transformer, which converts the line voltage (220 V.) to the low voltage (60 V. or less). The advanced circuitry in the power unit regulates the system, assuring safe, accurate, and optimal performance.

FloorHeat operates on low-voltage and does not require a ground fault switch. It is normally connected to a 24 volt transformer, but can also be run by solar or wind-power sources. The radiant floor heating system is maintenance free, easily zoned and extremely energy efficient.
