Common Applications for Radiant Heat
Underfloor Heat
Bathrooms, Kitchens and Entryways
Bathrooms, kitchens and entryways are ideals
places to incorporate radiant heat. Tile,
marble, slate, and even hardwood floor coverings
are cold to step onto with bare feet during winter
or summer. A radiant floor
heating system can be installed under
these surfaces throughout the home and take
the cold bite out of these areas. Never have cold
floors or feet again! See our tiled
floor heating section for more
information.
Basements
Radiant
floor heating systems are commonly requested
for basement areas. Because heated air from
forced
air heating systems rises, basements
are typically the living spaces that remain
cold. New construction is the best time to add
radiant heat to a basement. Warmzone
In-Slab cable or a hydronic system
are great solutions for adding radiant heat
during the initial construction of a home. ComfortTile
Cable, In-Slab
Cable and FloorHeat are
a few products that are often used if you are
remodeling your basement flooring.
Log Homes and Cabins
Warmzone frequently designs radiant
heat systems for log homes and cabins.
Depending on the climate, available energy resources
and budget needs, Warmzone will help you
select a radiant heating system or
combination of heating systems to meet the heating
requirements of your log home or cabin.
Snow and Ice Removal
Driveways, Sidewalks and Patios
Radiant heat keeps driveways,
sidewalks and patios clear of snow and ice.
The cost to operate is less than hiring someone to
shovel, and the concrete lasts longer
because it is not subjected to harsh chemicals or
salt. Safety is extremely important to consider for
any residence or commercial environment. See
our snow
melting pages to learn more.
Wheelchair Ramps and Loading Docks
Wheelchair ramps can become unusable
and even dangerous if they are not cleared
of snow and ice. ClearZone
snow melting systems from Warmzone are
reliable radiant heat systems that solve
this problem and help you conform to the strict
guidelines of the American Disability Act.
Parking ramps and loading docks are often
sloped and difficult to clear of snow and ice, but
Warmzone's radiant heating cable keeps the
ramps and pathways free of dangerous ice and
snow buildup.
Heated Roofs
Roof Snow Melt and Deicing
Roof deicing products prevent the
buildup of ice and large icicles around
eaves, drains, and valleys, which damage roofing
materials and are hazardous to people
walking below them. Warmzone roof
heating products can be installed on asphalt,
shake, tile shingles, single-ply membrane,
or metal roofs.
