SunTouch®

SunTouch ® electric radiant heating mats by Watts Radiant are designed to gently heat tile and stone floors in bathrooms, kitchens, entry ways and sunrooms. SunTouch floor heating systems are very cost-effective solutions for smaller spaces (1-5 rooms) because they are easy to install and have a very low start-up cost. An electric digital thermostat is all that is required to operate an under-tile heating system by SunTouch, and costs only about $100-$200. SunTouch heated floor mats offer many advantages over warm-water (hydronic) systems. Floor buildup is kept to minimum and there are no structural weight loads to consider, common challenges to a traditional hot water radiant heating systems. SunTouch mats are installed directly onto concrete board or the subfloor just prior to setting the tile or stone.

SunTouch customers benefit from a faster installation of which most DIY homeowners can tackle. If you are not up for the task, most tile setters already have experience with SunTouch floor warming systems and can easily add this to their installation. You will not regret having warm tile. Floor warming systems are a distinguishing feature to any home and provide much needed heat to tile floors.

SunTouch offers two varieties of electric radiant heat. The most popular is the mat system which incorporates a single cable weaved onto a bright orange mat for proper spacing of the cable and quicker installations. Another popular SunTouch product is WarmWire®, a slim conductive wire that can be used to warm small bathrooms or larger areas like a kitchen or even an entire basement. These larger areas can be warmed with multiple cables wired in parallel. WarmWire uses a stainless steel covering for durability and is less expensive than the standard SunTouch floor heating mat.

SunTouch floor heating mats use a built in return meaning that you only have one end to connect instead of having to close the circuit by bringing both ends of the wire back to the thermostat. This new SunTouch design results in a much quicker installation. Electric radiant heat mats by SunTouch have taken the hard work out of the installation by enabling the floor warming cable to be pre-spaced onto a nylon mesh. All you need to do is find a suitable thermostat location and roll the SunTouch floor warming system out over the floor. SunTouch saves you time and money!
