Upgrade Your Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is a popular choice because it is inexpensive, durable, easy to install, and aesthetically pleasing. However, laminate is not impervious to damage and can be cold on your feet. The ThermoFloor® electric floor heating system is perfect for not only warming laminate, but also extending the life of the flooring.
What is ThermoFloor Exactly?
ThermoFloor is a 4-in-1 heating pad designed specifically for heating laminate flooring. But what are these four features? With a field impact insulation class (FIIC) of 60, ThermoFloor pads provide sound proofing which helps to suppress floor noise. It also has a thermal insulation R-Value of 0.5 which further enhances the efficiency of the floor heating system. ThermoFloor can also abate moisture preventing water damage which is a common issue for laminate. However, it is the superior heat technology that really makes ThermoFloor stand out from the competition. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of this system.
Safety First
Unlike competing products using thick rigid copper wire heating elements, ThermoFloor employs a flexible stranded technology called FiberThermics® that provides added safety and durability. If the heating wire was to get too hot, it has a built-in shut off feature (a thermal fuse) for added safety. Since these wires are only 1/16” thick, the added floor height is minimal.
Protect Your Laminate
When installing a laminate flooring, it is very important that an underlayment is placed over your subfloor. This is because subfloors often are not perfectly level. Over time, traffic over these imperfections can lead to dented areas in your flooring. Also, the joints where your laminate is pieced together can become damaged. The underlayment pad fills in these minor deviations creating a more level surface and providing the support needed to increase the life of your flooring.
The ThermoFloor system comes with a high quality pre-attached underlayment pad, eliminating the need to purchase and install a separate underlayment. Unlike traditional underlayments, this pad also offers moisture wicking properties for an additional level of protection. As previously mentioned, any water spills will be absorbed by the pad instead of the laminate to avoid damage.
Energy Efficiency
ThermoFloor also increases your homes energy efficiency. Since it puts you in direct contact with the heat, you achieve a comfortable environment at lower temperatures. This translates to a lower operating temperature which will in-turn reduce your energy bills. ThermoFloor also converts 100% of the energy input into heat, eliminating electrical waste and saving you money each month.
Unparalleled Comfort
ThermoFloor is laid underneath your flooring and provides an even and consistent warmth throughout the home. Reducing the use of forced air heat decreases the amount of uncomfortable drafts created by fans. And since the floor heating system has no blowers or moving parts, it doesn’t create a sound.
Health Benefits
Another benefit of reducing your dependence on forced air systems is improved air quality. Forced air spreads dust which is harmful to those with allergies and other breathing issues. The underlayment also contains anti-microbial properties which provide resistance to mildew and mold further reducing your risk of illness.
Final Thoughts
Although laminate flooring is more durable than other flooring types on the market, it is still possible that it may become damaged. Installing a ThermoFloor heating system will not only extend the life of your flooring, but also offer superior heating efficiency, health benefits, and maximum comfort.
