Warmzone offers Milwaukee residents one of the largest varieties of industry-leading radiant floor heating solutions available. Each system offers unique benefits and characteristics to make it particularly well-suited for heating certain types of flooring. The heating elements of the floor heating systems range from paper-thin FilmHeat™ and trusted ComfortTile® heat cable, to thin low-voltage FloorHeat STEP® polymer, and FoilHeat™ systems.
The FilmHeat floor heating element is a paper-thin heating element that requires no floor buildup and can be cut onsite. The system provides moderate, regulated warmth that is best suited for laminate and floating surfaces. When installing the system, the heating panels are cut to their proper length and then installed over the subfloor. After the heating element is secured, the electrical connections are made and the laminate or floating hardwood floor is installed directly over the panels.
A special version of the FilmHeat element (RetroHeat) can also be installed to heat existing floors. The element is stapled up between the floor joists under the floor to be heated and then batt insulation is placed over the heating element to direct all the heat upward to efficiently warm the floor. The RetroHeat system is available from Warmzone. FilmHeat and RetroHeat under floor radiant heating systems are UL approved and carry a 25-year warranty.
The most popular floor heating system features the thin, reliable ComfortTile heat cable, available off the spool or pre-spaced in mats that can be rolled out for easy installation. The cable is secured to a flexible mat with an adhesive backing so that it can be easily rolled out and secured to the subfloor, cutting down on installation time and saving money. ComfortTile floor heating mats heat an area 24-inches wide and are pre-terminated for use with 120 and 240 volts. They are available in a variety of lengths.
The ComfortTile floor warming system is the most versatile radiant heating system, capable of safely and effectively heating a variety of floor surfaces. While it is especially ideal for heating tile and slate floors, it is also commonly used to heat almost all other types of floors, including laminates and carpet. The heat cable carries a 25-year warranty.
This unique system features a polypropylene waterproofing membrane that is installed over the subfloor. The membrane is just ¼-inch (5.5mm) thick and has square shaped reliefs with rounded corners that form channels for the heat cable, making installation quick and easy while ensuring the perfect cable spacing.
The underlayment membrane is especially beneficial when installing radiant heat over difficult subfloors without movement or expansion joints in the screed. The Prodeso system uses ComfortTile heat cable, and can be installed to warm virtually all types of floors.
Designed for installation in new concrete slab applications, the In-Slab floor heating cable features a rugged, durable construction. The area to be heated is prepared for the concrete pour and the cable is then laid out and secured to the remesh with zip ties. (It is important to keep the cable elevated during the concrete pour so that it stays within roughly 2 inches from the surface.
The concrete slab efficiently stores and distributes the heat throughout the intended area. In-Slab floor heating systems are affordable and can be used to warm any type of flooring, installed over the concrete slab, including tile, hardwood, carpet, and more. The cable comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
This unique floor heating system features a low-profile polyethylene heating element that is both self-regulating and low-voltage. The heating element can be installed under most types of floor coverings but the self-regulating property makes it especially well suited for heating hardwood floors. (As the element gets warmer less electricity passes through it, preventing the element from overheating and optimizing energy-efficiency.) And because the heating element is so thin, it does not affect floor buildup or weight loads.
FloorHeat STEP’s semi-conductive polyethylene heating element is available in rolls 9 and 12-inches wide, and can be nailed and stapled through. It is so versatile and durable that it is also commonly used for roof deicing applications. Like the RetroHeat floor heating system, FloorHeat can also be stapled up between floor joists to heat existing floors. The heating element carries a 20-year limited warranty.
The FoilHeat cut-and-turn floor heating mat is a thin, reflective floor heating system that is designed for use under carpet, laminate, engineered wood and floating floors. The heating mat is made with fluoropolymer insulated heating cables, sandwiched between two layers of specially reinforced aluminum foil. The uniform spacing of the heating elements, backed by the aluminum foil, ensures even heat distribution that is free from the problems of 'hot-spots' or localized heating, which can sometimes happen with cheaper floor heating systems.
The FoilHeat floor heating system is an excellent value for installing radiant heat under a variety of floor types. It is easy to install and can be cut on site to fit custom-shaped areas. (Cut only the foil of the mat. Do not cut or damage the sandwiched heating cables.)
