Say Goodbye to Frigid Toes for Good with Radiant Floor Heating

There are a lot of unpleasant things in this world, but I think cold feet top the list. In fact, freezing cold feet not only top the list—they sit far, far above everything else, right next to stepping onto an icy tile floor first thing in the morning, laughing at our discomfort and icy misery. For those of you who agree with me, there’s a solution—radiant floor heating.

Walking around on a cold floor results in more than just cold feet—it could eventually result in dry, itchy skin and poor circulation. What’s more cold feet and floors are just downright unpleasant, and it’s high time we stopped suffering and experienced the benefits of heated floors.

Heated floors may sound like a luxury, and they are—but an affordable one. Radiant floor heating systems are on the rise in new home all across America, and it’s easy to see why, what with their luxurious comfort and brilliant efficiency.

They only turn on when they need to, and get the job done fast, meaning you get maximum efficiency for the optimal price.

Make a Little Wiggle Room in Your Budget this Fall with Radiant Floor Heating

Well, it’s finally here. Fall has finally made its appearance with chilly weather and falling leaves. If you have radiant heated floors, however, then the leaves aren’t the only thing falling this season—your heating bills might be too.

Radiant floor heating is changing the way you heat your home this winter while also changing how much you pay for home heating. Heated floors are the most efficient way to heat your home. Instead of using forced air to heat the room, radiant floor heat uses top-of-the-line heating cables to warm your floors, which then heat the objects around the room, giving you a perfectly even heat.

It may sound luxurious, but electric radiant floor heat is actually more affordable than you’d think. Because heated floors heat your rooms so efficiently, you don’t have to leave them on as long to get the same results as your conventional heating methods. What’s more, radiant floor heating systems are zone-specific, meaning you can choose which rooms you heat, when you want them heated.

Additionally, radiant floor heating systems are virtually maintenance free. Once you install your heated floors, you won’t have to pay for any expensive maintenance, like changing furnace filters or fixing broken pilot lights. All you have to do is tell your radiant floor heating system when to turn on and in what room, and with absolutely no effort from you, you’ve got perfectly even, perfectly cozy heated floors.

So this fall, don’t wait around for your furnace to send your budget through the roof. Install radiant floor heating today and watch your costs fall and your comfort rise.

Staying Warm and Comfortable when it's Cold Outside

We are still in the middle of winter and it just plain looks cold outside. Every time you step outside you feel a chill to the bone. The perfect indoor remedy for this is a toasty, radiant heated floor. Underfloor heat is just what you need to get back up to speed when you have been out in the cold. It’s hard not to purr when thinking about it.

Electric radiant floor heat is quite easy to install and it’s a shame homes don't come “standard” with warm floors. I suspect heated floors will be much more common in the years to come. Radiant floor heating utilizes a cable mesh system (such as the Danfoss LX mat or Ideal Heat's Warm Ribbon) laid out on the subfloor. Your finish flooring is then applied over the heat cable. The result is instant-favorite-room syndrome, guaranteed. The comfort of warm floors is unmatched. When your feet are warm, you feel warm all over.

It’s also more likely to be an efficient heat source, as you just need to heat the lower portion of the room where you hang out. (Forced air systems stir up dust and tend to heat the top half of the room.) If you have tall ceilings, warmth emanating from the floor will be even more noticeable – and enjoyable. You don't end up wasting all that heat way up near the ceiling where only the spiders can enjoy it.

If you haven’t experienced radiant floor heating systems, do yourself a big favor and check it out. If not for this winter you can get one in plenty of time to enjoy it next year, and even year 'round. One thing is certain, the weather will be cold again next winter, so why not be prepared by installing a radiant heated floor system?

Underfloor Warmth

Having experienced underfloor heating I fully confess that I am prejudice towards it. I make no excuse or denial. Radiant floor heating systems are the ideal heating systems. Underfloor heat simply provides the most comfort imaginable, especially for tiled flooring. While tiled floors are often thought of as beautiful, yet cold during the winter, what if it was a heated tile floor? Combined with the beauty of a ceramic tiled floor, underfloor heat turns a home into a palace.

Floor heating comes in two basic forms, electric radiant heat and hydronic. Electric radiant floors have heat cable installed under the finish surface. Danfoss LX floor heating cable is a noted industry leader for this task. Once installed, the finish surface is applied over it. The result is heat for the feet, which provides a comfort that can’t be matched by a conventional forced air system. I promise, you will acknowledge it as the best thing you ever did in the remodel department. Radiant floor heating may cause you to visit the bathroom a little more often. It may take a while to realize that subconsciously you just want to feel that heat beneath your feet again. Don’t worry, it’s rather common. Don’t delay on this one. You can thank me later.

Underfloor heating systems are quite easy to install. Radiant floor heating has a very high payoff in the comfort department and may even allow you to turn the forced air system down as well, saving you some money there. If you haven’t experienced a warm floor don’t miss this home enhancement.
