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.

Here’s a question for you: how can you comfortably heat your home while also enjoying a reduction in energy usage? Through radiant floor heating by SunTouch ^®, of course! Delivering heat by forced air makes allows heat to escape and increase your overall heat loss. However, heating through radiant heat is more efficient, which allows homeowners to turn down the thermostat two to four degrees.

Naturally, turning down a thermostat can reduce energy costs by 10-40%.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.

Believe it or not, the installation of SunTouch radiant floor heating is not a new development in the housing industry. Heated floors have been installed under bathroom and kitchen tile in the United States for the past decade and the warming products continue to gain popularity.

Therefore traditional forced air heating systems for a bathroom can be very inefficient, and waste a lot of energy.  However, SunTouch ^® provides a solution to this in their radiant heating products.  Radiant heat can make you feel comfortably warm without having to heat all the air in the bathroom.

SunTouch radiant heating provides a unique transfer of energy that naturally searches out colder objects to warm. Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat starts by warming the coldest and closest objects from its source. This is why radiant heating systems are generally placed under floors. If you have ever strolled barefoot along the beach on a sunny day and felt the warm sand underneath your feet, or held a warm mug, then you have felt radiant heat. Objects absorb radiant heat until they are the same temperature as the heat source, after which the heat slowly escapes to other areas that are colder, such as the air, etc.

Not only will radiant heat save you in heating costs in areas like your bathrooms, which only need heat for short periods of time.  But, they also increase the comfort level of these rooms because they keep concentrate the heat in the areas that are generally the coolest, such as tile floors, etc.  Imagine being able to step out of the shower onto a warm floor this winter.  These are only a few of the benefits of a radiant heating system.
