ComfortTile Radiant Heated Floors
Radiant Floor Heat - Give Your Bathroom
Floor the “Spa” Treatment
Want the spa
treatment without ever leaving home? It’s the
perfect time to take the chill out of your
bathroom floor with ComfortTile
radiant floor heating systems. Easily installed
directly under tile, natural stone other surfaces,
ComfortTile radiant heat provides comfortable,
even floor temperatures, in your bathroom, kitchen, or
entryway. Just about anywhere there’s a tiled
surface is a great place for the comfort of ComfortTile heated floor
mats or cable. And with a low 3/16-inch (3
mm) profile, ComfortTile is a non-evasive project
ideal for bathroom renovations.
So how do
ComfortTile floor heating systems work? ComfortTile heated floor
mats and cable are a form of electric radiant
heat. The mats are essentially pre-spaced heat
cable woven into an adhesive-backed fiberglass mesh that
can be rolled out and installed under the subfloor of
any tiled surface. They are connected to an
electric power source and, like forced air
systems, are controlled by a thermostat. Once activated,
ComfortTile heated floors radiate heat from the
floor and up through objects in a given room to
deliver warm, even temperatures quickly and efficiently.
This
efficiency isn’t limited to the time it takes to
activate an electric radiant heat system. By
installing electric radiant
heated floors, you can watch a small investment
grow substantially. Radiant heat delivers higher
levels of comfort at lower temperatures than
conventional forced air
systems, without a reliance on natural gas.
There are no vents involved, so air pollutants, as well
as the costs of duct cleaning and filter changing
associated with forced air systems are virtually
eliminated.
The good
news, of course, is that while their appeal is high, the
initial cost of ComfortTile heated floor mat
installation is relatively low, so they’re
a great way to build equity in your home. Unlike forced
air heat, radiant heat installation isn’t
an “all-or-nothing” proposition for
homeowners either. You have the freedom to install
ComfortTile floor mats in one room, or several.
The mats are pre-terminated for use with 120 and
240 volts, and are available in various lengths of
24-inch widths to accommodate any layout, making
them a flexible, easy-to-install proposition for
do-it-yourselfers everywhere.
Warmzone
ComfortTile electronic
thermostats are specifically designed to
control electric radiant floor
heating systems for maximum comfort while
minimizing power consumption. With Warmzone
ComfortTile radiant
heated floors, you can heat one room, or heat
them all at the same time, if you wish. The system
can be coordinated with your habits, so you get
heat where you are, when you need it, without being
subjected to drafts, dramatic fluctuations in
temperature, and large heating bills.
It’s
never too late to benefit from the warmth and luxury of
a ComfortTile radiant heated floor. Call Warmzone
today at 888.488.9276 to find out how Warmzone
can partner with you to reach your home
improvement objectives.

Radiant Heat for the Home
A
Comfortable, Affordable Solution
We’re on the fringe of another winter, but
already, folks in the Eastern U.S. might be
prone to saying it has arrived in full force. Record
snow falls and low temperatures in many parts
of the country are sending people out in
search of comfort-enhancing items as they prepare to
batten down the hatches for the upcoming
winter. And with the economic climate about as
frigid as the temperatures, people are searching for
clean, energy efficient ways to warm their
homes.
There may
be no better solution than a radiant heated floor. The
comfort provided by a heated
floor is simply unmatched. Sure, a
fireplace is great, but unfortunately the warmth is
rather limited to a small area.
Energy-efficient radiant heated floor systems
are easily zoned, allowing you to keep different
temperature settings for different rooms. This
means you can turn the heat off in rooms you may
not be using, adding to the economical benefits of
radiant heating.
Floor heating
systems consist of a grid of heating
cable installed under your finish floor
surface. Radiant heat can be safely installed under
tile, wood, laminates, or virtually any other
surface. The warmth from the heat cable
radiates upwards, warming the floor and objects
touching the floor, and even the air. You have
to experience radiant heat to truly appreciate
the luxurious comfort that it offers, which exceeds
anything that a traditional forced-air system
can provide. Unlike forced-air systems that
blow warm air which quickly rises and collects up at
the ceiling, radiant
heat originates at the floor where it
provides greater comfort and efficiency. In
addition to the silent operation of radiant
heat systems, there is no blowing dust
and allergens or noisy furnace blower. And perhaps
best of all is that radiant floor heating
systems are maintenance free. It’s no
wonder that radiant heat is the new craze for
homeowners today.

Warming Your Hardwood Floors
Add Warmth and Luxury to your Wood Floors with FloorHeat
Considering a
wall-to-wall carpet to wood floor conversion in your
home? When it comes time to choose an electric
radiant heat product, don’t forget to
include Warmzone’s FloorHeat in your remodeling
plans. This state-of-the-art radiant heat
technology features an extremely low-profile
heating element designed to distribute heat safely,
evenly and efficiently. Because of its efficiency,
affordability and ease of installation, homeowners
are increasingly turning to FloorHeat for use in a
wide variety of electric radiant heat
applications.
Just how does
it work? FloorHeat is
a self-regulating, semi-conductive polyethylene
heating element. It coordinates with a thermostat and
sensors placed below the subfloor of any hardwood or
laminate surface. The best part, of course, is the
heat itself—FloorHeat systems radiate heat
up through the floor and objects in a room to evenly
warm a room, maintaining comfort at temperatures a
few degrees lower that those required by a
conventional forced-air system. It’s flexible
enough to be installed under a variety of
surfaces, in a variety of applications.
Available in
9- or 12-inch-wide rolls, FloorHeat is an ultra-thin, flexible
heating element that’s very easy to
install. It is a very non-evasive application
that does not require elaborate ductwork or vent
installation, making it a safe bet for the
do-it-yourselfer. And as true for every Warmzone
purchase, it comes with the wisdom and experience of a
knowledgeable team of radiant heat experts.
They’ll be there every step of the way,
from helping you choose the best system for your radiant
heat needs and budget, to providing the
support you’ll need to successfully install your
FloorHeat in your home.
So
you’ve already installed wood floors throughout
your home, and you’re realizing that even
with all of those nice wool throw rugs you’ve
purchased, there’s a considerable difference in
comfort where wool meets the floor. No need to
tear up and start over. You can easily retrofit your floor
with FloorHeat radiant heat. RetroHeat
panels can be cut to the desired length and safely
stapled in between floor joists. After stapling,
simply connecting the electrical system, and
install batt insulation underneath the panels to direct
heat up through the floor.
It’s
never too late to benefit from the warmth and luxury of
a FloorHeat radiant heated floor. Call Warmzone
today at 888.488.9276 to find out how Warmzone
can partner with you to reach your home
improvement objectives.

What are the
Pros and Cons of Radiant Heat and Forced Air Heating
Systems?
A room with
radiant floor heating will have a very uniform temperature
from the ceiling to the floor. Heating a basement floor is
an ideal application for a radiant heat system. If
you've lived in a house with forced air, you know that
you can crank the heat up, but the basement floors
will remain chilled. Installing a radiant floor warming
system will add comfort and warmth to your lifestyle.

Say Goodbye to
Annual Heater Maintenance with Heated Floors
You dread it
every year; the dreaded heater maintenance. It's been
sitting there all summer long, and it's dusty, it's old, and
you just don't want to deal with it. Luckily for you,
there is a way to put an end to your annual heater
maintenance once and for all: radiant floor heating.
Electric
radiant floor heating systems are virtually
maintenance free. That's right, with absolutely no
effort from you, heated floors bring you unparalleled
comfort at an affordable price.
Traditional home
heating methods require a daunting list of tasks you
should perform yearly to keep them running properly. With electric radiant
floor heat, however, all of these annual tasks
can be eliminated from your schedule.
Comparing some
performance features and maintenance tasks of forced air
heating and radiant heat systems:
|
Conventional Heating Systems
|
Radiant Floor Heating Systems
|
| Make sure the
pilot light is lit. |
No pilot lights
here. |
| Clean or replace
your furnace filter regularly. If you don't do this,
your heater has to use more energy and work harder,
sending your bill through the roof. |
No messy filters
required. Just a silent radiant heating system that
efficiently warms up the house. |
| To Heat Only the
Areas that you want to Warm
Close the ducts to the rooms where you
don’t want heat.
Unfortunately, most ducts are not air tight, and
heat escapes into areas where you
don't want/need it.
|
Radiant heating
systems can be controlled in zones, with each
zone/room controlled by its own thermostat. Radiant
floor heating thermostats are also fully
programmable, so you can program the
floors to warm just before you get up each morning,
or activate and shutoff according to your
schedule. |
| Call a
professional to clean and inspect your furnace every
year. Brush and vacuum the exchanger
surfaces and blower blades. |
Save your money.
Electric radiant floor heating systems are
maintenance free. |
| Also, make sure
your gas furnace is inspected to make sure no
harmful Carbon Monoxide fumes are
escaping. A furnace that is not
running at peak performance can be deadly.
Virtually every gas furnace
produces Carbon Monoxide, which is
usually carried away from your home through the
furnace’s venting
|
No such issues
with radiant heat systems. |
The bottom line
is this: You don't have to limit your decision to one
heating system. Many homeowners have installed radiant heat
simply to supplement their traditional heating systems
in an effort to manage their heating costs. Radiant heat can be
used to efficiently warm the areas in your house where you
spend most of your time, and dramatically reduce the
demands of your furnace and blower.
With all the
extra costs you rack up with conventional heating system
maintenance, perhaps it’s time to consider installing
radiant heat.
Install floor heating in your home today and see the
difference it makes for your wallet and your home.

Your
One-Stop-Shop Radiant Heat Needs are Met at Warmzone
We all get a
little bit leery when we think of one-stop-shopping. Because
after all, can one place really be invested in knowing
everything about everything? Do you really trust a
store that you sells toothbrushes as well as carpet?
Maybe trust isn’t the right word; maybe the question
is can you have confidence that the guy leading you to
the oral hygiene isle will also be able to consult you
on the best carpeting for your home?
Not all places
are like this of course. There are many one-stop-shops
that offer great products and an even better knowledge base.
Warmzone is that source for all your
radiant heat
needs. They have taken the time to become very
smart in a niche that makes sense to homeowners. Heating
our homes is always a top priority when considering a move
or a newly built home.

your roof and then move down and install an electric
radiant
floor heating system. Warmzone is your
one-stop-shop for heated floors, heated
roofs, and heated
driveways. If you are wondering how to determine
what radiant heat solution is best for you, Warmzone
professionals have the expertise for that as well. The

Winter weather is on the way. Start thinking
about heating
system solutions for the coming winter months or
spend the season shivering and wishing
you’d planned ahead. Leaving decisions like this
to the last moment (for example, when your furnace up
and dies in the middle of a brutal
Nor’easter) causes unnecessary stress, expense,
and, most obviously, a freezing cold house.
Whether you are building a new home from the
ground up, preparing to replace your heating
systems are using electricity instead of natural gas
or heating oil. Not only does this cut down on
heating costs, but it is also more efficient and
eco-friendly as well. Radiant heating
systems are quickly replacing traditional furnaces.
Heating Systems Tip: Choosing the best
heating
systems for a new home or to add supplemental heat
to a cold spot in your home now takes a little
homework. The radiant consultants and designers
at Warmzone have been trained in all of the latest
heating systems to properly assess your project
and prescribe a system that will add value to
your home within your budget.

The Latest Trends in Home Improvement
Radiant
Heated Floors - Home Remodeling Trends You can Really
Warm up to
CBS
Moneywatch.com recently identified twelve trends in home
remodeling for 2011. The hottest
projects—bathrooms, must-do remodeling and warmer
interior design projects made the top three, with green
living coming in at number nine. With growing
concerns over rising fuel prices and carbon
footprints, it’s not surprising that more and
more homeowners are investing in their homes to
cut fuel consumption. Installing Warmzone radiant
heated
floors is a great way to keep up with remodeling
trends and recoup on home improvement costs.
How does radiant heat
work? Heated floors radiate heat from the
floor up to keep you warm and comfortable when cold
weather sets in. Two types of systems—electric heat
cable and hydronic
(water-based) tubing systems—when installed
in the subfloor of your home act as heating elements to
warm the surface above. These heating
cables/tubing coordinate with a thermostat and
sensors, as do traditional forced air systems, to
provide heat to your home.
Warmzone radiant heat is green heat. Powered by
electricity, electric radiant
heat cables can heat a surface in 30 to 60 minutes.
Unlike forced air systems, they are room specific.
With the help of sensors and a programmable
thermostat you can heat one room, or heat them all
quickly and efficiently, saving money on your
monthly gas bill. And unlike forced air systems,
they do not belch out the dust and dirt that compromises
air quality in your home.
A radiant heated floor installation
equals cheap equity. Heated
floors give your home an impressive level of comfort
and customization with minimal investment. Not
sure you want to install heated floors throughout
you home just yet? Warmzone offers a variety of heat cable
products that can be easily installed under the
subfloor of any room in your home, whether it be
bathroom tile, wood or even carpet.
If, as CBS
Moneywatch.com suggests, the over-arching remodeling
trend for 2011 is to tackle small projects while
you wait to do the really big remodeling project
that’s on your list, why not start by installing
heated flooring in your home. Unlike
other “one-size-fits-all” radiant heat
providers, Warmzone offers an array of radiant
heated flooring solutions designed to
better match your individual project, and your budget.
The good news—many of these floor
heating products can be installed by
do-it-yourself homeowners.

Heated Driveways and Roof Deicing
The Hottest
New Trends in Home Remodeling
Among the hottest types of projects listed in the
2011 CBS Moneywatch.com twelve trends in home remodeling
are the “must do” and green
remodeling projects. If you are finally replacing your
roof or pouring a new driveway, consider
incorporating a snow
melting system into your project list. Radiant heat
is green heating technology that actually enhances
the life of your roof or driveway without
impacting your overall fuel consumption.
Warmzone roof deicing
systems are designed to prevent the buildup of snow,
ice and large icicles around roof eaves, drains
and valleys, preventing damage to your roof and
the potential for injury from falling icicles. And you
have several roof
heating options to choose from. How
it works—a Warmzone RoofHeat
heating element is embedded between two layers of
vinyl, which serve as protection from UV rays and other
potential physical damage. Lightweight, flexible
and easy to install, these panels can be placed
under new or existing asphalt, shake or tile shingles,
making roof
heating a low-cost, viable home remodeling
project.
Installing a
heated
driveway is another way to add safety,
convenience and efficiency to your household while
building equity. Warmzone cable is available in
pre-configured mats, making easy to roll out under
newly poured driveways or pavers. The cable generates
heat with the help of an automatic
sensor that detects inclement weather and
activates the system. It immediately detects
changes in temperature and moisture associated with snow
and similar weather conditions to warm up
your driveway so it’s clear before
your boots (or tires) ever see the pavement.

Asphalt radiant
heated driveway.

Whether you
choose an electric
radiant heat snow melting system for your
roof or your driveway, you’ll also have the
peace of mind that comes with green living. Protecting
your roof from inclement weather and damage keeps
heat in, so your furnace doesn’t have to
work as hard, saving you in fossil fuel costs. A
Warmzone radiant heated
driveway system also saves your driveway from damage
caused by harsh snow melting chemicals or the
scraping of snow removal equipment, plus the
energy you expend clearing them, whether you’re
pushing a gas-burning snow blower, or shoveling.
Snow
and ice melt systems provided by Warmzone
deliver first class performance, efficiency, ease
of installation and energy conservation.
Partnering with Warmzone to complete your home
improvement project means you’ll get the valuable
input from radiant
heat professionals needed to find a
perfect solution for your heating requirements
that’s within your budget, so you can save some
green!

Are your eyes so tired from all the research
you’ve been doing because you’re
looking to warm your floors with radiant
heaters? We know, it sometimes can be hard to narrow
down what kind of radiant
heaters to install. There are dozens of products
available to purchase, and there are even more
companies telling you that their product is the
best.
For many homeowners, electric
cable heating systems, often called line- or
high-voltage systems, are gaining popularity and are
ideal for heating smaller areas like bathrooms,
kitchens, and sun rooms. These systems are
comprised of a thermostat and a heating cable. These radiant
heater systems are oftentimes less expensive, and
give the ability to customize a layout that will
heat every square inch of your floor.
Every available radiant heater
cable system is equally effective, so when
determining which system to purchase, you should look at
the warranty of the product, along with the ease
of installation. Some cables must be embedded in
a separate layer of concrete or mortar, whereas
other systems can simply be installed in the thinset.
Most radiant
heater cable systems can only be installed under
tile. However, on others, if the cable is
embedded in mortar or concrete, any flooring can
be installed on top of the concrete.
Radiant Heaters Tip:
When heating smaller areas, it is nearly
impossible to beat the simplicity and price of an
electric cable radiant
heating system.

Innovations in home heating are here and ready
to keep your home comfortably heated!Flat
panel radiant
heaters are used to heat objects via radiant heat
transfer. These radiant heaters have
traditionally been used in a variety of industries
and applications. Some of these applications include
space heating, drying, curing, and water
evaporation. More recently, these heating
systems are also gaining popularity in home heating
applications as well.
Radiant
heaters use different types of emitter surfaces.
Choices include: quartz, high-temperature glass,
stainless steel, and ceramic tiles. These are
all materials that are easily and efficiently used in
home applications such as flooring, countertops,
and towel racks. Because these items are easily
turned into emitter surfaces for radiant heat,
they can easily and beautifully be incorporated into
home heating applications such as heated floors,
walls, and towel racks.
To find out about radiant
heaters for your home, check with the folks at
warmzone.com. They have a complete product catalog of
radiant heating solutions that can accommodate
almost any application or budget.
Radiant Heaters Tip:
Not only are radiant
heaters a great way to efficiently heat a home,
while maximizing your home’s beauty, but
they are very cost effective and easy to
install.

With the high cost of heating fuels today, many
homeowners are wondering what other heating
options there are out there. Quite simply put,
radiant
heaters are the most efficient form of heat
available in today’s market.
Significantly less operating time is required to attain
and maintain the desired warmth compared to
furnaces and other, traditional methods of
heating, which keeps operational costs to a minimum.
High efficiency boilers or
electric radiant floor systems makes radiant
heat one of your most efficient ways to heat your
home. Combined with a well-insulated home these
systems can quickly warm your home and then shut
down or wait idle for long periods of time before being
called upon by the thermostat to operate.
More than ever before,
homebuilders, househunters, and home renovators
alike are looking for energy-efficient heating options
for houses. We say they need look no further
than radiant
heaters for their ideal home heating solution.
Radiant Heaters Tip: It might take a
little effort, but being more environmentally
friendly doesn’t have to involve major
renovations. Many people waste a lot of energy by not
sealing cracks, doors and windows. Checking to
make sure a home’s insulation is in good
shape and replacing it if it’s not is another
good surefire way to stop, prevent, and reverse
energy waste.

Now is the Time to Buy
Energy
Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Radiant Snow
Melting Systems
If
you’re one of those unfortunate souls who has to
manually remove snow from the driveway and walks
every winter, you may want to reconsider your
methods. The passing of new snow removal laws
(as in Massachusetts)
don’t make it any easier on homeowners, who
are now mandated to provide snow and ice-free
walkways for pedestrians. If the sidewalks are not
cleared, property owners are not only susceptible to
personal injury lawsuits, but they also face the
possibility of fines, levied by the local
government. Removing snow from your driveway and
sidewalks is no longer an option –
it’s the law!
Many
consumers stock up on salt and other snow melting
chemicals to ease the physical burden of shoveling
the snow, but the amount of time, money and
adverse environmental effects of these chemicals can be
evident year round. While effective in
melting snow, salt and chemicals are not so
friendly to the surrounding landscape. When spring hits,
the bordering grass and shrubs often reveal the
ugly scars from the repeated salt and chemical use
during the winter.
So if
you’re serious about going
green (in more ways than one), consider this:
Radiant heat snow
melting systems -
|
♦
|
Operate on clean,
renewable energy (hydronic
or electric) |
|
|
♦
|
Are safe and
environmentally friendly |
|
|
♦
|
Are fully
automated so that they efficiently
operate only when needed |
|
|
♦
|
Operate discreetly and
silently |
|
Of course,
one of the most significant “selling
points” of radiant
snow melting systems is that it eliminates
the time consuming, physical demands of the homeowner.
The best time
to purchase and install a snow melting system is during
the early spring. You are much more likely to
discover discounted prices, because the demand
typically wanes when the weather begins to warm.
Springtime is a time when homeowners are more interested
in outdoor grills and barbeques than snow melting
systems. Of course, once the summer has run its
course and Old Man Winter is peeking around the
corner, consumers tend to scramble to install a snow
melting system before the first storm hits.

Pipe Tracing for Your Business
Keep Your
Business Running Safely with Pipe Trace Cables
|
Self-regulating pipe trace heat cable.
|
Owning and
operating a business is serious business indeed. Your
top priority besides making tons of dough is to
keep things running smoothly and safely for all
involved. If you own a large building or warehouse you
are extra conscientious about keeping things moving at
full steam ahead. Frozen pipes during the brutal
winter months is a legitimate concern, one that
savvy business owners are aware of. Commercial,
municipal, and industrial buildings all need
pipe tracing to protect pipes during
dips in temperatures.
Pipe freeze
prevention is one of the first necessary investments you
must make when your property is up and running.
Pipes should be equipped with electric heat trace
freeze protection for optimal temperature
maintenance. In the long run, having pipe freeze
protection will save you from costly repair and
sometimes irreversible damage to inventory,
equipment, and property.
Pipe
freeze protection systems can be used with both
metal and plastic water piping. In the coldest
months where pipe freezing is a real danger, the
self-regulating heat cable
adjusts heat output in response to ambient temperatures.
The power output increases or decreases in
response to ambient temperature changes. This even
occurs at each point along the length of the pipe
trace cable effectively adjusting the power output in
varying degrees along the length of the pipe. The
design and intent of the self-regulating systems
ensures safe and efficient operation. Operating
your business safely is a whole lot easier with pipe
trace cables.
Warmzone

services. Our radiant heat products are tested and
