Top 3 Laminate Heated Floor Systems – Comparison

Comparing the top 3 laminate heating systems.

It’s difficult enough to choose a flooring system, but with all the different types of floor heating available it can be overwhelming. Today we’re going to look at the three most popular types of flooring systems and help you find the right one for you.

Top 3 Laminate Heated Floor Systems

While you might be familiar with radiant heating, you may not be acquainted with the benefits laminate heated floors can deliver. Laminate heated floors use direct electrical resistance to heat your flooring and provide an instant energy boost. Laminate floors have a lot of advantages that other flooring types just don’t have. Unlike other flooring options, laminate is easy to install, is quieter than other options, and can be designed perfectly with your condo or home in mind.

WarmStep, ThermoFilm, and Thermofloor are a few brands that make the best laminate heated floors on the market today. Let’s look at each of them one by one, so you know how each of them works and how you can use them for maximum comfort and convenience in your home.

1.  WarmStep

If you’re looking for a durable and easy-to-install laminate heated floor system, the WarmStep is an excellent choice. This product has been tested for compatibility with all major adhesives, floor coverings, and installation methods. The system is also easy to repair or replace if there is a problem later on. WarmStep uses heating element technology that ensures the product will last for years to come.

The patented heating element design provides 8-10 W/ft² heat output making it perfect for laminate floors. The specially engineered permeable fabric allows either nail or glue installation of the laminate flooring without the worry of damage. With a 1/16″ thickness and no vertical deflection, this warm laminate heated floor system remains an industry favorite!

2. ThermoFilm

A fantastic option for DIYers, the ThermoFilm floor heating system can be installed under laminate flooring. It has a high 11 W/ft² output engineered to warm laminate flooring effectively and quickly. While this is a thinner film that comes on a roll, it must be combined with an underlayment with a minimum thickness of 3mm. This system in not for use on a concrete subfloor or areas where moisture is present. When installed over a wood subfloor, the system must be covered with a poly moisture barrier to protect from potential spills from above.

ThermoFilm is an affordable option for those who want to buy their materials online and do their own installation! Plus it’s easy to install: simply roll out the film across your subfloor and wire it into one of our thermostats. With our smallest roll size being 1 foot by 25 feet long and our largest rolls being 1 foot by 100 feet long, we give you flexibility in where you layout your heating elements!

3.  ThermoFloor

There are a variety of features that distinguish ThermoFloor from other electric floor heating systems. One of these is the construction; ThermoFloor is constructed with an underlayment pad and FiberThermics heating elements, which makes it perfect for wood, vinyl, or laminate floors. The underlayment pad gives the system a smooth texture and prevents any lumps or bumps from forming beneath the flooring. Additionally, the heating elements create a low-profile system (1/8″ total system thickness) with high heat output (8-10 W/ft²).

Another feature that makes ThermoFloor stand out is its safety measures; each mat has an integrated Thermal Cut-Off device, which ensures that if the temperature on the mat rises too high, power to that spot will be cut off until it cools down sufficiently.

Last but not least—and perhaps one of its best qualities—is that this product was made in the USA! It even has ETL Listed certification for quality assurance and consumer confidence.
