Radiant Floor Heating Advantages


Radiant floor heating mat for use under tile
DISCOVER THERMOTILE'S ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO:
  • Water (hydronic systems)
  • Forced air systems
  • Electric baseboard
  • Other electric radiant floor systems
MAIN ADVANTAGES VS. HYDRONIC (WATER)
  • Maintenance free. No mechanical heaters to heat the water and pumps to move the water. No potential leaky pipes to worry about.
  • Even heat distribution. Water near the end of the pipe has cooled compared to water at the beginning of the pipe.
  • More efficient. Water systems must heat the water, then move the water by pumping it through pipes. With ThermoTile, all the electric power is used to heat your floor.
  • Does not raise the floor. Water systems raise the floor to make room for the water pipes.
  • Simpler, lower cost installation. No water heaters, pumps, valves, pipes and other mechanical parts.
  • Great for remodeling projects. Each room can be powered and controlled independently without taking extra wall or floor space.

MAIN ADVANTAGES VS. FORCED AIR
  • Energy saving. More efficient because warmth is concentrated near the floor, not the ceiling. Heats only the rooms where and when you need the warmth.
  • More comfortable. Radiant floor heat is attracted to you making you feel warmer. Forced air does not warm your floor or your feet.
  • Quiet, clean and hypoallergenic. No noisy fans blowing dust around.
  • Simpler, lower cost installation.

MAIN ADVANTAGES VS. ELECTRIC BASEBOARD
  • More efficient and more even heat distribution. Baseboard heating is located at the room perimeter and overheats the outside of the room. It does not warm your floor or your feet.
  • Safer. Baseboard heating can be hot to the touch.
  • Better appearance. Baseboard heaters are unsightly and restrict furniture placement while ThermoTile is invisible

MAIN ADVANTAGES VS. OTHER ELECTRIC FLOOR SYSTEMS
  • No other heating system is constructed like it. ThermoTile electric floor heat systems have:
    • Double insulation to protect the cable during installation and use.
    • Double ground protection - 100% ground coverage.
    • Double EMF (electromagnetic field) and electrostatic interference elimination.
  • ThermoTile radiant floor heating systems are easy to install. Simply cut and turn the fiberglass mesh to fit your floor.
  • ThermoTile floor warming mats do not raise the floor. Ultra-thin (less than 1/8").
  • Installation-friendly armored lead wires are connected to one end of each mat for easy routing and connecting to the thermostat. No need to worry about where the mat ends.
  • Safety certified in compliance with UL Standards for radiant flooring in the USA and Canada.
  • Costs less buying direct from the manufacturer - Thermosoft.
