Radiant Heated Floors for Residents in Cleveland, Ohio
Approximately 90 percent of houses in the United States use forced-air heating systems. For decades this has been the traditional method used for heating homes and businesses, but this is changing. While radiant heat has been widely adopted in Europe, it was slow to be embraced by homeowners in Northern America. But the comfort and efficiency of radiant heat has been "discovered" by Americans, and it is fast becoming the popular heating choice for home and business owners. Considering the many benefits of radiant heat over the more traditional heating technologies, it’s no surprise why radiant floor heating systems are being installed in so many new construction applications today.
With virtually no wasted energy, radiant heat is the most efficient technology for heating homes today. Its unmatched comfort and efficiency make radiant floor heat a popular supplement for those with traditional home heating systems. Radiant heated floors can be installed to enhance comfort in bathrooms, kitchens, playrooms, and more. With warmth emanating from the floor up, radiant heat is especially beneficial to families with small children who spend a great deal of time playing on or near the floor. Each room (or zone) is controlled separately by its own thermostat, adding to the efficiency of the system.
Warmzone® carries one of the largest selections of floor heating systems in the industry. Each system features characteristics that make it especially well-suited for specific applications. Being able to choose from a diversity of products helps to ensure that customers find the ideal system for their heating needs.
Warmzone radiant heat experts offer free consultation, so consumers can call and discuss their project needs and ask questions – without any sales pressure. There are several options for homeowners when it comes to matching their heating needs with their budget. Regardless of the system you choose, electric floor heating systems are easy to customize, so they can be easily tailored to meet your specific heating needs, as well as your budget.
Radiant heat can even be installed to warm existing floors. If you can access the floor joists from your basement or crawl space, you can install Warmzone’s RetroHeat®. This floor heating system features heating panels that are thinner than a credit card (0.016-inch). The panels are stapled up between the joists and then insulation is placed over the heating element to ensure that all the heat is directed upward to warm the floor. This affordable system can be installed under all types of floating floors, including laminates, engineered wood, tile, bamboo, etc.
The most popular floor heating element consists of thin heating cable. Customers can purchase the popular ComfortTile® heat cable in mats or spools. The mats feature cable that is affixed to a flexible mesh for easy rollout installation. The cable is pre-spaced, and the mat has an adhesive backing so it can be easily secured to the subfloor. This proven system is ideal for heating tile floors, but the versatile system is also commonly used to heat a variety of other floor types as well.
While heat cable is the most common heating element for radiant floor heating systems, a number of other options are available. In addition to thin “film” heating panels and low-voltage polymer panels, uncoupling and crack isolating membranes and insulation panels can also be used in conjunction with the cable. Depending on your needs, Cleveland residents will be able to find the ideal system for heating their homes. Warmzone professionals will provide a detailed design/layout of the system that includes all the technical and electrical information, as well as provide installation support, and even free installation training. Warmzone also maintains a network of experienced installers in the Ohio area who have received favorable reviews. Proper installation is key, so it would be advantageous if Warmzone is able to recommend an experienced installer in your area.
