SunTouch Floor Heating Mats Eliminate Cold Feet My feet are
always cold. I wear slippers in the summer. Granny slippers,
as my husband affectionately calls them. Heat loss through
my feet is a serious deal for me. When I visit my
parents I turn green with envy because they have a
heated tile floor. My feet wander around bare
and free when we walk the halls of their remarkable heated
tile floor. As I build my dream house in my mind, the
tile and hardwood floors are sprawled over electric
heated floor mats, and my granny slippers are tossed
into a dusty forgotten corner. It is simple really, to minimize heat loss through the feet; one must first create a barrier between bare feet and the floor. Using a heated floor mat creates that barrier is a cost-efficient, easy-to-install method of doing just that. Heating your floor with under floor radiant heating mats is a project that can often be done at any stage of home building. A heated floor is surprisingly simple to install under tile, hardwood, or even carpeted floor. Many people enjoy the benefits of a slipper-less existence. One day I will too! For now I better go schedule another visit to foot heaven, er, I mean my parent’s house. |

Radiant Floor Heat Warms Up Chilly Spring Nights Spring has
sprung. Even though we have all eagerly flipped our
calendars to March and watched with much anticipation
the arrival of the first day of spring, many of us
still feel that nip in the air. Winter isn’t
entirely out of our lives and with the last waning cold
snaps approaching, heat is still a priority in many
homes. Radiant floor heat provides countless
homes already with the added warmth desired in the
final days of winter. Now more than ever floor heating is an
affordable and an efficient way to keep chilly spring storms
from creeping inside. Electric radiant
floor heat is a simple and prudent investment for any
home. Especially as the seasons change and we are reminded
that the temperatures are not quite ready to climb to
allow for our bathing suits just yet. Electric heated
underfloor mats can be easily installed under tile or
hard wood floors, no matter the age of your home. Walking
across a heated floor will remind your feet that they
are safe and warm indoors, even if they can’t
walk barefoot across the lawn just yet. Thank goodness spring has finally sprung and the birds have started to make their way back home. But until the final chilly days are behind us for another season, invest in radiant floor heating to ease the sting of that final chill in the air. |
SunTouch Radiant Floor Heat is Ideal for Smaller Areas
Radiant floor heating is a wonderful addition
to any home. Most homeowners believe that the installation
of a heated floor is something best done during the
initial construction of a home. The belief also exists
that radiant floor heating be cast throughout the
entire home, thereby maximizing the heating potential and
benefits. The reality is that just about any floor can
be retrofitted
with radiant heat at any stage of home ownership. There are many
of us with smaller do-it-yourself attitudes that would
love to walk into a small tiled bathroom or entryway and
feel the same luxurious heat offered by a radiant heat
floor system. Using SunTouch floor
heating mats is a simple way to achieve heated
tile floors in smaller spaces. If you have anywhere from
one to five rooms, SunTouch may be a plausible alternative
to a complete overhaul of your flooring. Achieving warmth
with electric radiant floor heat is easier than ever
before. SunTouch floor heating systems are simple to install
and have remarkably low start-up costs. An initial
cost a buyer will incur up front is when they purchase
an electric digital thermostat. These thermostats can
usually be found for less than $200. Heated floors in smaller areas are tackled by simply installing SunTouch mats directly onto concrete board or the subfloor just prior to setting the stone or tile. If the do-it-yourself spirit fails when you attempt this project, most tile setters already have experience with floor warming systems and can add it to their installation easily. |

And you thought you were done with homework when you finished school! But the fact of the matter is that choosing the best heating systems for a new home or to add supplemental heat to a cold spot in your home takes a little homework. The consultants at SunTouch ® can provide information on all of the latest heating systems. SunTouch can also help to properly assess your project and prescribe a system that will add value to your home while staying within your budget. Heating a home efficiently offers many challenges. A common challenge to traditional heating systems is the inability to zone your home for specific areas of the home without heating the entire home. SunTouch heating systems can be easily designed to be independently controlled by zone which enables a home owner to increase the temperature for defined areas of the home during occupancy and conversely allows a particular zone to remain off during down times. This strategy not only saves homeowners a considerable amount of money, it gives you complete control to efficiently warm you most used living spaces without comprising cost. |

If you feel like nothing is worse than crawling out of bed on a cold winter morning and stepping onto the cold bathroom tile, you aren’t alone! What a great way to get your day off to a rotten start, eh? However, this doesn’t have to be a problem this winter thanks to the floor warming mats you can install in bathrooms.If you’ve experienced the comfort of heated floors, you know exactly I’m talking about.If you haven’t, then you owe it to yourself to read on. Maybe this will help understand better…a good analogy for floor warming mats to forced air is a car that has heated seats verses a forced air heater/furnace. The forced air in a car can dry you out and can become uncomfortable and is difficult to dial in because of the heat loss due to its air delivery. A heated seat will provide you with quick results and will remain warm long after it is reduced or turned completely off. The heated seat actually warms your body and the car seat, not the air. Forced air will over time will inefficiently heat objects but with the negative side effects of dry air, dust and pollen. Here’s the deal: evenly distributed radiant heat via floor warming mats installed in your floors will allow you to turn down your thermostat two to four degrees. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40% and can be verified with your local utility company. This setback to your thermostat can happen because a radiant floor heats from the ground up and delivers the heat through objects not air. This makes the lowest three feet of your home the most comfortable where a forced air system loses its heat to the ceiling and is required to heat from the top down. Delivering heat by air also makes it easy to escape and increase your overall heat loss. |

floor warming mats provide a convenient
solution to this age-old problem. Thanks to the

Only a handful of
months until winter is here again, and many homeowners
are dreading high heating bills similar to the bills they
received last winter. This winter, however,
there’s still time to make changes to your home
heating which can help you cut electricity costs. New
radiant floor heating systems by SunTouch
® can offer you a choice of a
thermostat that is controlled by a floor sensor. This allows
you to measure floor temperature or with an ambient
control, which allows you to monitor and control the
actual temperature in a specific room. SunTouch
radiant heating mats can be used and controlled as a primary
source of heat or used as a supplemental heating
source to add comfort to your living spaces. |
