Radiant Heat for Wood: 10 Tips and Tricks Tacking down the top tips and tricks for wood floor heating. LEARN THE TOP TIPS FOR HEATING WOOD FLOORS Radiant heaters can be installed in almost any room of the house, including areas with wooden floors. However, there are a few things you need to know before deciding to incorporate radiant heat into your home. In this article you will learn 10 tips and tricks you need to know before installing a radiant heating system with wood floors. Benefits of Heat for Wood Radiant heat is a fantastic way to keep your home snug and comfortable during the winter months. This type of heating system warms the floor directly instead of the air above it, resulting in a more consistent and even level of warmth. Not only is radiant heat great for keeping your home comfy, but it’s also extremely energy-efficient and eco-friendly. 1. Wood Species Although it may seem like any wood will work with a radiant heating system, it is critical to ensure that the wood species is compatible with radiant heat (hickory has many problems). Check with the flooring manufacturer to see which materials are recommended with heat for wood versus prohibited. 2. Climate The right radiant heating system for your needs depends on the climate you live in and the specific application. It is of the utmost importance to install the correct system, as most are designed with tile in mind, requiring mortar and cement which is a lengthy and completely different installation process than when using wood floors. The National Wood Flooring Association's radiant heat for wood guidelines are found on pages 92-101 if you are unsure what you need. In most cases, a fabric mat with thermal cutoff like WarmStep is the best choice. It can work with engineered or solid floating, nail down, or glue down floors and sits directly under the floor, unlike other systems. 3. Moisture The myth that floor heating damages floors comes from the fact that wood contracts and expands due to humidity. People think it's because of it being really hot or cold outside, but this is simply not true. It's the fact that there's either a lot or a little humidity in the air. Wood is alive, so it reacts to moisture. You can monitor the humidity in your flooring by installing a humidity sensor. A sensor can be placed in a channel you carve into a plank. This sensor then connects to an app on your phone which monitors and reports humidity levels so you can stay informed. That brings us to our next tip. 4. Humidity Use a humidifier or dehumidifier in the room, depending on the floor's needs, to increase or decrease humidity based on what's recommended for your specific configuration. 5. Directionality It's crucial to pay attention to the directionality of the wood when installing the heating element/cables. They need to be installed parallel to each other. Nailing can be difficult, so pay attention to spacing to prevent accidentally damaging the heating wires. Make sure to nail only through the fabric underlayment (not through the heating wire), which is easy to avoid when you pay attention to spacing. 6. Floorboard Width Choose thinner rather than wider floorboards, as wider pieces have less flexibility when the humidity changes. Smaller pieces have more "give" and can distribute movement more smoothly if the floor has moisture variations. 7. Fastener Compatability It's important to verify whether the flooring or fastening materials are compatible with each other. There are certain glues and floors that have been tested and approved for use with the heating system, which will help you install the system quicker and obtain optimal performance. 8. Purchase Extra Flooring Purchase 10% more flooring than you need, just in case the installer nicks a wire or something and you need to replace it. You'll have matching wood on hand if that happens. 9. Backup Temperature Sensors It's a good idea to add extra temperature sensors so if one sensor fails, your thermostat will have an embedded backup you can wire into. Radiant floors last a long time and are very reliable. With this in mind, you may want to rearrange the furniture at some point or use different sensors in different areas. Whatever it is, you won't regret having an extra temperature sensor. 10. Moisture Barrier When installing flooring on a cement subfloor or slab, use a moisture barrier to prevent the cement’s moisture from wicking up into the flooring. Cement secretes and sweats moisture, so put a vapor barrier such as an adhesive or water-resistant sheeting over the subfloor before installing the heating system with wood flooring.

5 Floor Heat Myths 2022 Bashing the 5 common myths about floor heating that we've seen in the trade. 5 MYTHS ABOUT FLOOR HEAT When it comes to floor heating, there are a lot of myths floating around that people believe are true. But the truth is, you can't believe everything you hear—especially when it comes to floor heating.  Myth #1: The heat hurts my floors. This is a common concern for people who are new to floor heating. The truth is that it's actually humidity in the air that hurts floors like wood, and has nothing to do with the heat/temp of the floors. In fact, high moisture levels can cause more damage than any heat you might experience from your flooring system! If you're worried about this happening, we recommend getting a humidifier and setting it up so it runs all day long (especially in winter) so that your home stays nice and dry! Myth #2: It's super expensive. It's actually not as expensive as you might think. An average heat floor installation costs around $10 per square foot, which means if you have a 40-square-foot bathroom, it will cost around $400 to heat it! You can also choose to heat specific areas where there is high traffic instead of an entire room, like around a kitchen island or next to the bathtub. Floor heat is one of the best ways to make your house cozy, but there are some common myths about it that can make you think twice before committing. We've debunked the most common ones here, so you can make sure you're getting everything right when you install floor heat! Myth #3: It's complicated to install. It's true that hydronic (which uses boilers and tubes) can be complicated, but electric mats are easy! Electric mats get laid during the existing floor installation. If you add tile heat to a tile installation, for example, all you have to do is lay the mats on top of the subfloor, then cement them down and lay your tile as usual. If you're heating wood floors, just lay the mat on top of the subfloor and go ahead and put down your wood flooring as usual. Myth #4: Floor heat raises your floors. Floor heating isn't going to raise your floors. The cable for the tile is 1/8" thick, and the wires for Warmstep, our wood heating system, are as thin as a credit card. That's right—your floor won't be raised by any more than a millimeter! Myth #5: It's expensive to run. Heating floors with electric resistance are actually more efficient than heating rooms with forced air. Unlike HVAC systems, which blow air that escapes out or blows heat that stays towards the ceiling, electric floor heat reaches you right away so you utilize 100% of the energy used. You can also schedule it to be on at specific times so it's not working all day and night—you can set it to come on when you get home from work and shut off around bedtime. And since it's all about personal comfort, not everyone needs their floor at the same temperature all day long! Final Thoughts We hope this blog has helped set the record straight on floor heat. There are plenty of exciting, cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. So the next time you consult with an HVAC contractor or sit down at your computer to browse some local flooring options, consider a form of floor heat such as radiant heating or electric underfloor heating. It's a great investment for your home that brings a host of benefits.

Is Floor Heating Worth It? Breaking down the pros and cons of floor heating. DECIDE IF YOU SHOULD ADD FLOOR HEATING Floor heating is a great way to keep your home comfortable and warm. It's also great for your wallet. Floor heating can save you up to 90% of the energy costs associated with traditional forced-air systems. The fact is most people don't even realize how much money they are wasting on inefficient heating systems. Floor Heating The answer to that question depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a way to stay warm in the winter, then yes, floor heating is worth it! But what if you're looking for something different? What if you want to know whether or not floor heating would be a good choice for your business? Or if you want to know whether or not it's a good idea to install flooring that's compatible with your current water heating system? We've got answers to those questions too! Just visit www.thermosoft.com and type in the type of flooring that's currently installed in your home or business.

Investment Investing in your home is one of the smartest things you can do. Whether you're looking to increase its value or simply make your life easier, there are so many ways to improve your home. One thing that's sure to be a huge help? Floor heating! For more info on how adding floor heating to your home can be a great investment, read our article. You may be thinking "floor heating? That sounds expensive." But it's actually affordable and worth it for anyone who wants to get the most out of their investment. Floor heating makes a house more appealing to homebuyers, which means when you sell it, you'll get more money than you would without it, and it also increases energy efficiency by keeping all the rooms at a consistent temperature. If you're ready to learn more about floor heating and how much it could benefit your house, give us a call at 800-308-8057. We'll be happy to answer any questions you have about this amazing investment opportunity! Efficiency Floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home since it doesn't require constant power and can be used in different rooms at different times of the day. It also has the added benefit of being much greener than other forms of heating, since it uses less energy and can control each room separately and on a schedule so the whole house isn't running at the same time. This means that you're using less energy overall—and paying far less than if you were using traditional methods like oil or gas heaters. Floor heating is also more cost-effective than electric heaters because they cost pennies to run each day instead of dollars! Floor heating is an excellent way to save money while still keeping warm during the winter months without having to worry about rising utility bills later on down the road! Find out more about energy efficiency and electric radiant floor heating in our article here. Comfort Comfort is a beautiful thing. Especially when it comes from floors that are kept at the perfect temperature.

Top 3 Tile Floor Heat Systems Keeping you warm while saving you money. BEST DIY TILE FLOOR HEAT SYSTEMS You take a warm shower, step out onto the floor and it's cold. Or perhaps you want to put in tile flooring in your basement or attic and worry about the coolness of the space. There are many reasons why you might want heated tile flooring. If you are worried about the cost of installation, there is a DIY Tile Floor Heat System available. ThermoTile Mats ThermoTile mats are the easiest and simplest tile floor heating system to install. These mats consist of either 120 or 240-volt heating cables that are embedded into a specially engineered mat made of high-impact fiberglass mesh. The mat is designed to fit into any type of tile, stone, or vinyl flooring. The mats can be installed in a variety of locations including basements, kitchens, and bathrooms. Mats are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes and can be cut to fit your room's dimensions. ThermoTile® Cable and Prodeso® Heat Membrane - Electric In-Floor Heating for Tile Let's start with our top pick: ThermoTile® Cable and Prodeso® Heat Membrane. This is a great overall system for all budgets and situations. It's durable, easy to install, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. ThermoTile® Cable and PROVA FLEX-HEAT® Membrane - Electric In-Floor Heating for Tile If you're looking for a more professional system to use in your business or large home, try the ThermoTile® Cable and PROVA FLEX-HEAT® Membrane—it's what they use in commercial buildings. ThermoTile® Cable and Schluter DITRA-HEAT® Membrane - Electric In-Floor Heating for Tile And finally, if you're looking for an upgrade from the first two systems that is thicker and even more durable than either of the other two, try ThermoTile® Cable and Schluter DITRA-HEAT® Membrane. ThermoTile Cable ThermoTile Heat cables are an easy solution for anyone looking to add underfloor heating to any space of their home. By using a flexible cable that can be installed under wood, laminate, vinyl, carpet, and tile flooring, you get the freedom to install the heating exactly where you need it most. Whether you're using Schluter-DITRA, Prova, or Prodeso membrane, ThermoTile cable is guaranteed to fit. It's the same cable regardless of which membrane you're using—it just comes in different sizes and styles. The heating element is the electric cable itself. You can get it in rolls (loose) or on mesh mats that are pretty much ready to lay down. In both cases, it has to be secured to the subfloor. This can be done using straps or tape or glue (with loose cable), or with a special installation mat that has nubs all over it—the nubs make channels that you can snap the cable into. Save Money On Your Energy Bills Whether you are in a new home or remodeling an existing one, you want to make sure your finished product is beautiful, efficient, and comfortable. And there's no better way to achieve that than by adding underfloor heating. But when it comes time to choose the right product for your tile floor heat, you shouldn't have to sacrifice affordability and quality for aesthetics. That's why we've put together this guide to help you find the right system that will not only keep you warm but also save money on your energy bills.

Heated Tile Floor Cheat Sheet Making the most of your heated tile floor. USE THIS CHEAT SHEET FOR HEATED TILE This easy-to-read format will help you understand the many aspects of tile floor heating, from the different systems that are available to the benefits associated with this type of home renovation. We've provided valuable information about how tile floor heating works and even shared a bit of history about this innovative area of home improvement. https://resources.thermosoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ttmat-300x157.png What is tile floor heating? Tile floor heating is a popular and cost-effective way to warm your home. Tile floor heating systems cover a large area quickly, efficiently, and powerfully. The best part? They're affordable, making them ideal for new construction or remodeling projects. Tile floor heating saves time by keeping your home warm at all times. The system is a cost-effective and easy way to heat your home, eliminating the need for gas or electric wall heaters. There are two types of tile floor heating systems: Hydronic systems use heated water from a boiler or water heater to warm the floor. Electric systems use electric cables or mats with built-in heating elements. Can radiant floor heat be used with tile floors? The short answer is yes. However, the tile needs to be installed on top of a subfloor that has been set up for radiant heat. Electric mats and wires can be laid in mortar and embedded. Hydronic systems require careful attention to detail during installation and adequate insulation underneath the floor to achieve good results. What is the best tile floor heating? The ThermoTile In-Floor Heating Mats are an excellent choice for installation under tile floors. These mats are available in a variety of lengths and widths to accommodate nearly any floor plan. The radiant heat mats are installed directly under the tile floor and then covered with a single layer of mortar. This allows for a fast and easy installation that can be completed in a matter of hours. The mats are designed to be used over plywood or cement subfloors. WiFi Enabled Thermostats If you're looking for a way to control your hydronic floor heating from anywhere, have we got an upgrade for you! Our WiFi thermostats can be controlled from your phone, tablet, or computer — and yes, that even includes our website. These thermostats are equipped with a fully integrated cloud service so you can access them remotely, but they'll also run as stand-alone thermostats when connected to your home's network. Our programmable timer switches are a great option for customers who don't need temperature control but want to pre-program the floor heating system. Unlike our WiFi thermostats, our programmable timer switches can only turn the floor heating system on and off at specific times, which is a great option for customers who know when they'll be using their heated floors. The OJ Wi-Fi Enabled Touch Screen Thermostat The OJ Wi-Fi Enabled Touch Screen Thermostat lets you remotely control your radiant heating system from anywhere in the world. If you have a secondary home without a thermostat, or if you just forgot to turn off your heat before leaving for the weekend, this thermostat is for you. It's great for managing your energy use and staying warm during snowstorms. The OJ thermostat is the perfect solution for homeowners who travel often or have an unpredictable schedule. With the OJ app, you'll always be able to adjust your floor heating from any mobile device or web browser — so you get the temperature you want when you want it. Tile floor heating is a smart choice for homes, offices, and commercial spaces. Since you're here, you probably know that. You also probably know that we have a blog.

6 Heated Tile System Tips Learning top tips for heated tile systems. TIPS FOR HEATED TILE SYSTEMS The heated tile floor system has become increasingly popular in recent years as homeowners have begun to realize the many benefits of adding radiant heating to their homes. The best radiant floor heating systems can provide a consistent source of heat and ample warmth throughout the winter season while also helping to reduce energy costs. https://resources.thermosoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ttmat-300x200.jpg Here are some tips you can use to help get the most out of your heated tile system: 1.  Choose the right thermostat. For a floor to be heated, it needs a thermostat, but not any old thermostat will do. Because you're dealing with electricity, it's best to select a thermostat that's rated for use with electric heaters – this way, you avoid potential electrical issues or even fires. 2.  Don't increase the temperature by more than 3 degrees at a time. If you've been using your system for some time, you may want to increase the temperature in the room, but is it safe? The answer is yes – but don't increase the temperature by more than 3 degrees at a time. Doing so could actually cause electrical problems and might even damage the heating elements in your flooring system. 3.  Don't put furniture over your heated floors. Heated tile systems are designed to provide sufficient warmth to keep a room comfortable during cold weather and can help cut down on your energy costs, but they're not meant to be used as supplemental heating for other items in the room like furniture or rugs. The weight of these items may actually damage the heating coils in your heated flooring system and could make them less efficient when it comes to providing heat for your home. 4.  Leave room for airflow underneath the tile surface. The main reason we install radiant floor heating systems is so that these systems can help maintain an even temperature within the home, but this can only be accomplished if there is enough space for warm air to rise from under the tiles and circulate around the room. 5.  Spread out your cables. When it comes to designing your heated floor system, you want to make sure that your cables are spread evenly across the entire surface area. The ideal heating cable will be between 5 and 10 watts per foot, depending on how much heat you want to be generated at any given time. 6.  Be prepared for wire failures. One of the advantages of installing a heated tile floor system is that they are extremely durable and are designed to last for many years, but there is still a chance that one or more wires might fail over time due to corrosion or other factors. Final Thoughts Heated floors are a luxury in any home, but they aren't just for the wealthy to enjoy. If your house or apartment has room for the system and you have the budget, you too can experience the benefits of heated flooring.
