Electric floor heating systems that utilize electric heat trace products are perfectly suited for the demanding application needs of homeowners and building developers. Our electric floor warming products are an affordable, cost-effective heating solution and can be used either as stand-alone heating or as a supplement to an existing heating system in many different applications.
Whether it is for a kitchen, bathroom, covered porch, entryway, commercial restroom, or other application, these solutions provide the most uniform temperature across any room along with the lowest installation costs of any competing products. We can design a system that is a perfect match for your project from our underfloor heating product range.
With more than 35 years’ experience in the design and supply of floor-heating systems, we provide a “one-stop” service, offering design and supply solutions for your individual radiant floor warming needs. Whether you are interested in underfloor radiant heating for a brand-new building or as a renovation/addition to an existing home, you can be confident in our quality, tailor-made designs. Don’t be fooled. It is always best to work with a professional to design the right system as the installation will end up costing less and the system will then be guaranteed to operate as advertised.
Electric floor heating mats are a proven technology that is safe, reliable, and energy-efficient. Our unique dual fastening adhesive system saves 70% on installation time. The mats are safety approved for wet locations, have a single-point connection with two-conductor cable, and with the heating cable pre-applied onto the fiberglass mesh you can be assured that you get even heat every time it is turned on. The standard mats come in both 120V and 240V, starting at 10 sq. ft of coverage area all the way up to 145 sq. ft on one mat. Both 120-volt and 240-volt mats offer the same efficiency but 240V is recommended for larger areas to cut down the amperage draw allowing you to fit more space on a single thermostat.
For many applications, we can design a plan utilizing a combination of mats depending on the size and shape of your room in order to get the most effective coverage. The mats can be rolled out quickly across the floors reducing installation time by 35%, and the ultra-thin heating cable is double insulated with an advanced fluoropolymer core making it incredibly durable.
All our under-floor heat mat systems are UL approved, meeting the highest safety standards for ultimate peace of mind.
In new construction applications, we typically recommend that you let us design the perfect system using electric heating cable since it is the most cost-effective way to design and install a custom system.
As part of our service, we will design and provide a customized installation plan. Our team will work with each application to ensure that it is installed correctly, that the heat is evenly spread over the room, that areas around obstacles (toilets, sinks, showers) can be heated, and that all the correct accessories are specified to do the job right.
The cable comes in 120V or 240V, in spools up to 5,000 ft, and the cable thickness is easily covered in thin-set mortar to allow for a one-step tile or stone installation.
Floor heating thermostats make it convenient to control floor or room temperatures in any indoor area.
Choose from non programmable, programmable and smart, remotely controlled versions to meet your requirements as far as energy savings and flexibility.
For your safety, all of our indoor floor heating thermostat are protected against malfunction by a built-in ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or equipment ground fault protection device (EGFPD).
Electric radiant floor heating systems are generally considered more energy efficient compared to fan-forced fossil fuel systems. They can heat the floor directly, providing a consistent and uniform heat distribution. This reduces the need for a large heating system and results in lower energy consumption. The systems are also highly efficient, with little energy lost during the heating process.
On the other hand, fan-forced fossil fuel systems rely on a furnace or boiler to heat the air, which is then distributed throughout the home or building using a system of ducts and vents. These systems are less efficient than electric radiant floor heating systems, as a significant amount of heat is lost during the transfer of heat from the furnace to the ducts and vents. Additionally, the use of fossil fuels, such as oil or natural gas, results in the emission of greenhouse gases and contributes to air pollution.
In terms of overall energy efficiency, electric radiant floor heating systems have a higher efficiency rating compared to fan-forced fossil fuel systems. This means that electric radiant floor heating systems use less energy to produce the same amount of heat, leading to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. And while the upfront cost of installing a fan-forced heating system may be lower, the operating costs can be higher compared to electric radiant floor heating systems. This is due to the lower efficiency of fan-forced heating systems and the need for ongoing maintenance and repair.
The installation cost of electric radiant floor heating systems and fan-forced heating systems can vary greatly based on several factors and the exact energy efficiency of each system will depend on various factors, such as the quality of the system, the insulation of the home or building, and the local climate. So, while electric radiant floor heating systems tend to be more expensive to install, they offer a more energy-efficient and cost-effective heating solution over the long term compared to fan-forced heating systems.
Electric radiant floor heating uses heating cables or heating mats installed beneath the floor surface to generate heat. The warmth radiates upward through the flooring and into the occupied space, providing even heat distribution throughout the room. Unlike forced-air systems, radiant floor heating delivers heat where occupants feel it most, resulting in a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
Yes. Depending on the insulation, room size, climate, and system design, electric radiant floor heating can function either as the primary source of heat or as supplemental comfort heating. Many homeowners use it as the primary heating solution in bathrooms, kitchens, additions, and smaller living spaces, while others use it to supplement existing heating systems in specific areas that require added comfort.
Electric floor heating systems can be installed beneath many common flooring materials including ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone, laminate flooring, engineered wood, and some carpet systems. The appropriate heating product and installation method depend on the finished floor covering and subfloor construction. Proper system design helps ensure efficient heat transfer and long-term performance.
Heating mats consist of pre-spaced heating cables attached to a mesh backing, allowing for faster installation and consistent cable spacing. They are often a popular choice for renovations and standard room layouts. Heating cable systems offer greater design flexibility because the cable can be routed around obstacles and customized for unique room shapes, making them particularly useful for new construction and complex floor plans.
Electric radiant floor heating systems can provide efficient comfort because the heat is delivered directly to the occupied space rather than being distributed through ductwork. This helps eliminate many of the heat losses associated with forced-air systems. Combined with programmable or smart thermostats and proper zoning, radiant floor heating can provide precise temperature control while minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.
