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.

Heating Small Floor Spaces

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.
