A Sneak Peek into the Future of Floor Heating
The thought of installing heated wood floors can be a daunting one for homeowners. And with the complex nature of many floor heating systems, it’s easy to understand why. That is exactly where the WarmStep electric floor heating system comes into play: it’s a safe, reliable, and much simpler to install when compared to other floor heating systems. If you are looking to install in-floor heat in your home, continue reading to find out why the WarmStep system is perfect for your home.
1. Easy Install
Traditional floor heating systems need to be embedded into cement or mortar which requires a great deal of labor, materials, and extra cost. Fortunately, WarmStep doesn’t require embedment and can be in direct contact with your flooring. Since you don’t have to wait overnight for your cement to dry, this system can be installed the same day as the flooring.
2. Has a Shut-Off Feature for Increase Safety
One concern that many homeowners have about electric floor heating is safety. WarmStep uses a unique technology called FiberThermics that has a built-in shut-off feature that is activated if the heating wires were to get too hot. These wires are also extremely flexible making them virtually unbreakable. When you choose WarmStep, you gain peace of mind knowing you have chosen a safe high-quality system that will last the lifetime of your home.
3. Compatible with a Variety of Flooring Types
Some in-floor heating systems simply aren’t compatible with certain types of flooring. The WarmStep system is compatible with engineered wood, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring, and traditional hardwood. It is also compatible with most types of subfloors, vapor barriers and underlayments.
4. Compatible with a Variety of Installation Methods
WarmStep is also compatible with multiple installation methods. Flooring can be glued, nailed, or even floated with this system. Notably, WarmStep is the only product of its kind approved by the National Wood Flooring Association for direct installation with hardwood and engineered wood floors.
5. Efficient and Practical
Did you know that WarmStep is controlled with a thermostat, just like an HVAC system? WarmStep uses a heating sensor underneath the floor to ensure that it’s at just the right temperature to keep you warm and comfortable. If paired with a programmable thermostat such as the OJ Touch Screen Thermostat, you can schedule your floor heat to run only when you are home to enjoy it. You can also adjust your floor heat when you are on the go if you upgrade to the OJ Wi-Fi Enabled Touch Screen Thermostat.
6. Will Not Raise Your Floor Height
Unlike other radiant floor heating systems consisting of water pipes or thick cables, WarmStep is lightweight, thin, and designed to keep your floor height consistent from room to room. These in-floor heating mats are only 1/16 of an inch thick and therefore will not create trip hazards when walking from one room to the next.
7. Protects Your Flooring
Wood flooring can become damaged by humidity and quick temperature changes which can cause undesirable warping. Luckily, WarmStep pairs with a device known as a FidBox® that monitors these levels and sends an alert if the conditions are out of range. The FidBox is installed beneath your flooring and will send a message directly to your mobile device to alert you if action is required to protect your flooring.
