Buffalo, New York is a beautiful place to live, but let's face it, winters can be COLD. One way to deal with the chilly weather is to basque in the exquisite warmth of a radiant floor heating system. Having radiant heated floors can be the ideal way to cope with the coldest winter spells that Buffalo can offer. Heck, you might just forget it's winter outside when you experience the luxurious comfort of radiant heat. These efficient systems can be installed to heat entire homes, or to complement existing heating systems. Many New York residents choose to complement their existing home heating system by adding radiant heat to enhance comfort in their favorite rooms - and allow them to turn down the thermostat of their forced-air system.
Finding the right floor heating system and components is certainly an important part of turning your house into a dream home, but unless those industry-leading components are installed correctly, you’ll be disappointed with the end result. Knowing how vital the proper installation of a radiant heating system is, Warmzone® provides the best installation support service in the industry with its systems. These services include FREE installation training, professional system design/layouts and technical support during the installation. Installers working with Warmzone will always have the support they need while installing the system.
The installation training courses can be conveniently completed online with an instructor via video conference. The courses are typically completed in less than an hour, but installers can ask questions and proceed with the training at their own pace. The instructor covers every aspect of your installation, and remains available to provide technical support and answer questions throughout the installation process.
Electric heated floors are not difficult to install. The systems feature three main components: the heating element, sensor, and thermostat (activation device/controller). Warmzone offers the most advanced system controllers in the industry, ranging from basic on/off controllers to fully programmable Wi-Fi touchscreen thermostats with a large back-lit display and a simple user interface. The thermostat can be configured for control depending on the sensor option. These options include an ambient sensor (for room temperature), an in-floor sensor (to measure actual floor temperature), or a combination of the two. Warmzone thermostats are designed specifically to control electric radiant floor heating systems for maximum comfort and minimum power consumption.
The ComfortTile® floor heating system is the most popular floor heating solution. The thin heat cable is available on spools or mats. The heating mats consist of pre-spaced cable on flexible mesh with an adhesive backing. This way the mats can be rolled out over the subfloor and secured, facilitating a quick, easy layout of the heating element. Thinset or self-leveling compound is applied and tile (or other type of flooring) is then installed. ComfortTile floor heating cables have ground fault (GFCI) protection and emit no measurable electromagnetic fields (EMF). The cable is only about 3/16-inch (3 mm) in diameter, so this system results in very little floor buildup.
Another outstanding floor heating option is FilmHeat™. This system’s floor heating element is thinner than a credit card (0.016-inch), and does not require a self-leveling compound or mortar. FilmHeat is the premier floor heating system for heating floating floors. Ihe system is commonly installed under a variety of floating floors, including laminates, engineered wood, bamboo, and more.
An underlayment is first applied over the subfloor and then the heating mats are laid out. The floor covering is placed directly on top of the heating element. No alarms, special tools, or self-leveling compounds are needed. The heating panels feature a 25-year warranty and are available in widths of 18 and 36-inches, and can be cut onsite.
With one of the largest selections of floor heating systems around, Warmzone assures home and business owners in the Buffalo area that they will be choosing from among the industry’s most trusted and proven products. New York residents will be able to compare the best solutions, side by side, to determine the system that best suits their specific floor heating needs.
Advanced underlayment membranes are also available. Systems like Prodeso® floor heating membranes can be combined with ComfortTile heat cable to provide effective floor heating systems as well. The Prodeso membrane has pre-engineered channels for the heat cable, providing correct spacing and quick installation.
