Electric Radiant Floor
Using an electric radiant floor is another option for those looking for a radiant floor heating system. Radiant floor mats are another option for the installation of a radiant floor, as opposed to a hydronic radiant heat system. Both offer comfort in the heating of the home by providing true radiant heat and not just heating the air that surrounds them.
Pexheat offers HeatWeave, the safest and easiest-to-install electric radiant floor heating mat in available. This electric floor warming system is listed by UL® for the U.S. and Canada and tested by TCA for all residential and moderate commercial applications. All these radiant floor mats have “S-pattern” wire construction and produce 12 watts per sq.ft. If safety and ease of installation are concerns, a single power connection comes off one mat corner. Other advantages of using HeatWeave mats in your electric radiant floor are:
- Thin, open-weave construction that allows thin-set or self-leveling mortar to install in one step to easily bond with the underlying material, usually allowing only 1/8" over a normal tile installation.
- Over 45 sizes manufactured in three widths (1', 2', and 3' wide) in sizes covering up to 160 sq.ft. Mats of any size (same voltage) may be combined to heat larger areas.
- 120 VAC and 240 VAC models available for small residential to large commercial applications.
- Highest-quality heating wire using DuPont® Kevlar®, Tefzel®, and copper alloys for corrosion-resistance, temperature-resistance, abrasion resistance, and longevity.
- Armored and fully grounded 10-ft. power lead for safety and job-site durability (longer lengths available on request).
- Power leads are color-coded black/white/green for 120 VAC, and black/blue/green for 240 VAC.
- Zero electromagnetic field (EMF) generation (measured at 1/2" above operating wire set at milligauss setting).
