Are you up nights wondering how to solve the puzzle of keeping your home heated evenly? Puzzle no longer. The solution is here: SunTouch under floor mats are the perfect solution for nearly every type of floor covering. These special mats warm existing floors without having to replace the floor coverings. If you have access under a floor, simply staple under floor mats between the joists. UnderFloor mats will warm wood, vinyl, laminates or tile floor coverings. They deliver 10 watts/sq. ft. of floor area (about 34 BTU/hr/sq. ft.).

In case you didn’t realize, the fact is that, with under floor mats, most floors can be heated up to 12° to 15°F warmer than they would otherwise be. Carpeted floors will not warm up as much as other floor coverings due to the high insulation value of carpet and padding. You may experience a temperature rise in the floor of only a 6°-10°F, which may or may not meet your satisfaction. Insulation installed below the mats is essential to complete the installation.

Suntouch mats are also the perfect radiant floor heating solution for the do-it-yourself type person.Their website, suntouchmats.com has installation videos to assist in the installation of suntouch products.
