The Ultimate Comfort

Why Warmzone Premier Radiant Heated Floors are the Best Choice for Your Home

Imagine stepping out of bed on a cold morning and feeling the warmth of a heated floor beneath your feet. No more freezing tiles in the bathroom or chilly hardwood in the living room; just consistent, comfortable warmth wherever you walk. Heated floors aren’t just a luxury; they’re one of the most efficient and effective ways to heat your home.

Warmzone offers top-tier radiant floor heating systems that provide comfort, energy efficiency, and health benefits while being completely maintenance-free. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading your existing one, here’s why radiant heating is fast becoming the home heating choice for modern homeowners.

The Benefits of Heated Floors

1. The Most Efficient Heating Technology Available

Radiant floor heating is far more efficient than traditional forced-air systems. Instead of pushing hot air through ducts and vents, where much of the warmth is lost, heated floors transfer warmth directly to the objects and people in the room through infrared (radiant) heat. This process eliminates heat loss and ensures that every part of the room is evenly warmed from the ground up.

Because heat rises naturally, radiant heating works more effectively than baseboard heaters or forced-air systems, which tend to create temperature fluctuations. With a heated floor, you’ll enjoy a consistent and comfortable temperature while using less energy, which could ultimately lower your heating costs.

2. Works Under Any Type of Flooring

No matter what type of flooring you have, there’s a radiant heating solution for you. Warmzone offers a wide variety of heating elements designed to work seamlessly under tile, stone, laminate, vinyl, engineered wood, and even carpet. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom, upgrading your kitchen, or adding warmth to your basement, Warmzone’s heating systems integrate perfectly with your flooring choice.

3. Maintenance-Free Convenience and Savings

Unlike furnaces and baseboard heaters that require regular maintenance, filter changes, and occasional repairs, radiant floor heating is virtually maintenance-free. Once installed, the system operates reliably for years without the need for servicing. This makes it a hassle-free investment that adds long-term value to your home.

4. No Blower Means No Dust or Allergens

Traditional heating systems rely on blowers to circulate warm air, which can also spread dust, allergens, and airborne contaminants throughout your home. This can be a major issue for people with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions.

Radiant heating eliminates this problem entirely. Because it doesn’t rely on air circulation, there’s no forced airflow kicking up dust or distributing allergens. This creates a cleaner, healthier indoor environment, which is especially important for families with young children or anyone sensitive to indoor air quality.

5. Precise Temperature Control in Every Room

One of the standout features of radiant floor heating is the ability to control the temperature in each room individually. Unlike central heating systems that heat the entire house to the same temperature, radiant heating allows each room to have its own thermostat.

This means you can keep your bedroom cozy without overheating unused rooms, or you can keep your bathroom toasty while maintaining a cooler temperature in the rest of the house. This level of control not only enhances comfort but also reduces energy waste, saving you money on heating bills.

6. A Variety of Heating Elements to Suit Your Needs

Every home is different, and Warmzone offers a wide selection of heating elements to accommodate various layouts and flooring materials. Whether you need a flexible heating cable for a custom installation, an ultra-thin mat for easy installation under tile, or a retrofit system for an existing home, Warmzone has a solution to meet your needs.

7. Works as a Primary or Supplemental Heating Source

Radiant floor heating isn’t just for supplemental warmth, it can serve as your home’s primary heating system. Many homeowners find that radiant heating provides sufficient warmth for their entire home, eliminating the need for traditional heating systems altogether.

However, if you live in an extremely cold climate or have an existing heating system you’d like to keep, radiant heating works seamlessly as a supplemental heat source. For example, you can install it in key areas like bathrooms, bedrooms, playrooms, or basements to enhance comfort without overhauling your entire heating system.

8. Ideal for Children’s Play Rooms

If you have young children, you know how much time they spend playing on the floor. With traditional heating systems, floors can be uncomfortably cold, making playtime less enjoyable. Radiant floor heating keeps surfaces warm and inviting, creating a cozy environment for kids to play safely and comfortably.

Additionally, since radiant heating eliminates the need for bulky radiators or vents, you don’t have to worry about hot surfaces or sharp edges that could pose a safety risk to little ones.

Upgrade Your Home with Warmzone Radiant Heating

Whether you’re looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency, reduce allergens, or simply enjoy a higher level of comfort, radiant floor heating is an unbeatable solution. With Warmzone’s industry-leading products, you can enjoy all the benefits of heated floors without the hassle of maintenance or inefficiency.

Make Your Life Easier with Radiant Heat

Life comes with many challenges, but technology continues to whittle down the hardships to counter the difficulties we face every day. Granted, some of us wonder whether technology adds to our stress, or alleviates it, but one thing most home and business owners agree on is that the technology behind radiant heat systems has made things a whole lot easier and more comfortable for us.

One of the most popular applications of radiant heat is that of heating driveways. Given that radiant heat is the most energy-efficient heating technology available today, radiant snow melting systems are a popular choice for keeping driveways, sidewalks, ramps, outdoor steps, and more, clear of snow and ice during the winter months. Radiant heat is also used for roof de-icing applications. Self-regulating heat cable is used to prevent ice dams and to keep roof gutters and downspouts free from heavy snow and ice.

In addition to efficiently operating on renewable energy, Warmzone driveway heating and snow melting systems are fully automated. Once installed, the homeowner can kick back and enjoy a morning coffee as the driveway defies the onslaught of snow that is blanketing the rest of the neighborhood. There will be no need for gloves, salt, or shovels today!

In addition to the unbeatable efficiency of radiant snow melting systems, electric heated driveways are also fully automated and maintenance free. Automated snow melting systems utilize advanced snow sensors that detect precipitation as well as temperature. When the temperature is below the adjustable set point (usually set at 39°F), and precipitation is detected, the sensor (activation device) sends a signal to the system’s controller (or contactor panel). Upon receiving the signal, the panel then sends power to the heating element that is embedded in the driveway or sidewalk. The surface area quickly begins to warm, thus preventing the snow from building up.

The efficiency and effectiveness of these radiant heat systems is due largely to the advanced system components and heating element. Both aerial-mount and pavement-mount sensors are available. Warmzone also offers contactor panels that are with or without GFEP. The panels are designed for both electric and hydronic snow melting systems, with a variety available for all types of commercial and residential applications.

Another key component of Warmzone’s radiant snow melting systems is ClearZone™ heat resistance cable. The twin-conductor cable is cCSAus listed, and available in various lengths off the spool, as well as in mats that can be rolled out for quick and easy installation. The proven cable provides easy customization, and is effective for heating concrete, asphalt, and paver driveways. The versatile snow melting systems can be installed to heat virtually any outdoor areas, ranging from steps and ramps to walkways and driveways.      

Snow melting systems are also commonly used for a variety of roof de-icing applications. A variety of systems is available, most of which utilize self-regulating heat cable. The heat cable can be installed individually, or placed in aluminum panel, which are installed on the roof eaves or roof valleys. The individual cable is “zigzagged” along the roof eave to prevent ice dams from forming by providing channels for the runoff.

Complementing all of Warmzone’s premier radiant heat products are Warmzone’s unparalleled customer support services. Each snow melting system includes free installation training. The valuable training is available online and can usually be completed in less than an hour. An instructor thoughtfully covers all aspects of the installation, and answers any questions the installer(s) may have. Videos and photos of installation procedures are provided as well.

Ultimate Control

What better way to ring in the new year than by installing a radiant snow melting system? Warmzone snow melting systems feature industry-leading components, and offer a variety of benefits that make them popular among homebuilders today. In addition to eliminating the need to shovel and salt sidewalks, steps, and driveways during the winter months, the systems are fully automated, maintenance free, and extremely energy efficient.

The reason these systems are so efficient is not only because of the inherent characteristics of radiant heat, but because of the industry-leading controllers provided with the systems. Warmzone automated snow melting systems utilize advanced snow sensors (activation devices) that detect temperature as well as precipitation. Customers have the option of installing an in-ground sensor that is mounted directly in the pavement of the driveway, or installing an aerial-mount snow sensor.

Aerial mount snow sensors

Most residential driveway heating systems utilize the aerial-mount sensor. The small unit is typically mounted near the roofline where it has clear access to the elements. The WS-2C activation device features an adjustable setpoint, so when precipitation is detected, and the temperature is below the setpoint (usually set at 39°F), the sensor sends a signal to the contactor panel, which is typically mounted on a wall in the garage. When the panel receives the signal, it then sends power to the embedded heat cable in the driveway, warming the surface to eliminate snow from accumulating. The systems operate only when needed. (Warmzone offers contactor panels that are available with and without GFEP. These advanced panels are designed for electric and hydronic snow melting systems, with a variety available for all types of commercial and residential applications. The contactor panels are pre-wired and UL listed, complete with a NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosure, wiring diagram, terminal connection block and contactors.)

After the snowstorm, the system remains on for a short time. This “afterrun” function dries the driveway to reduce the chances of ice from forming. This is a valuable feature that helps to ensure safety. Different sensors are available to accommodate other types of snow melting and de-icing systems. The WS-5C is similar to the WS-2c aerial-mount sensor, but is designed for bigger heating loads, such as regulating cable operation in commercial driveways, sidewalks, ramps and more.

The WS-8C is another state-of-the-art aerial-mount sensor, but it designed specifically for roof de-icing systems. The activation device can be used for gutter, downspout, and small satellite antenna de-icing applications. The sealed, low voltage, remote mount precipitation sensor head can be installed in a downspout, the bottom of a gutter, or at the end of an antenna boom, up to 10 feet away from the main controller, which is typically mounted in a more convenient location.

In addition to Warmzone’s premium controllers and system components, Warmzone also includes the industry’s top customer support services. Radiant heat system experts design the system, and provide installers with a detailed AutoCAD, which includes the precise layout of the system components and materials, as well as the proper load calculations, breaker sizes, number of breakers, and other electrical information needed by your electrician. These detailed layouts serve as the roadmap for installers, and help to simplify the installation.

Additionally, Warmzone includes free installation training for installers. This valuable training can be completed online, via web conference, where the instructor covers every aspect of the installation. The installer can interact and ask questions at any time during the training, which includes installation photos, illustrations, and instructional video clips.

Technical support is also provided by Warmzone radiant heat experts. If installers encounter any issues, or have questions during the installation, they can simply call and talk with an installation expert. Warmzone stands ready to assist installers to help ensure that the system is installed correctly and operating as intended. Warmzone also maintains relationships with experienced installers throughout the country, so you may be recommended a trusted, experienced installer in your area.
