Imagine slipping from your bed in the morning and stepping onto hard flooring that is toasty warm and comfortable – with no matt or rugs. Electric floor heat makes it possible. An electric floor heating system warms the floors of your home, gently increasing the temperature of your home and providing warmth for your home, from the bottom up.
If you are like many homeowners, you probably have cold spots and drafty areas in your home. Often, this is because traditional heating systems blow hot air around, and this hot air quickly rises to the top. Unfortunately, this leaves your feet cold. It also creates cold spots, since heated air is not evenly distributed through the traditional heating methods. With an electric floor heating system, however, there is no hot air. Instead, your entire floors become conductors for heat, evenly distributing heat from the bottom up.
In many homes, electric floor warming system generally makes the most sense. This is because in most homes it is the hard floors which are coldest. Drafts from underneath floorboards and from under doors leave the floors icy. As well, any cracks between the floor and walls create drafts and cold. Many homeowners take care of this problem by installing carpeting, which feels cozier and less icy than cold hard floors. However, carpeting often includes harmful chemicals and adhesives and can easily trap mold and dust, making it a less-than-healthy alternative for your home. Electric floor heating takes care of these problems by heating the floors.
With electric floor warming, your entire floor becomes warm and cozy, and when your feet are warmer, you feel warmer – science has proven it. Floor heating system are not only one of the most comfortable heating systems, but they are also among the most energy efficient heating systems. A floor heat system is individually wired in each room, so that you only need to heat the rooms where you happen to be. As well, floor heating can use less energy than many traditional heating systems since less heat is wasted. In a hot air system, hot air quickly rises to near the ceiling, so that homeowners may be expending plenty of fuel (and money) but may still be shivering. A floor heating system, in contrast, delivers more cozy heat in less time.
Suntouch floor system work with many types of hard floors and work in virtually every home – from offices to houses to modern new construction buildings. Even historic buildings can benefit from heated floors. Often, a heated floor succeeds where generations of heating products have failed, precisely because in floor heat gets to the root of the problem when it comes to drafts, cold feet, and cold floors.
