Atlanta, Georgia – Speedheat has extended their energy efficient product line of under floor heating systems to include the new TileWarm™ DIY under tile heating system kits for the handy do-it-yourselfers, who prefer the ease of ordering online.  As with all Speedheat products, TileWarm™ DIY is waterproof and GFCI-protected with a shielded, helically wound element with full ground surround, so there is no risk of overheating or electric shock.  The micro-thin element is less than 1/16 inch and causes no floor buildup, saving on installation costs, preparation, and installation time.

TileWarm™ DIY heating kits are now available for easy online ordering at www.TileWarm.com.  38 heating system kits are available with sizes ranging from 20 square feet of heated floor space to 300 square feet with options for 120v systems up to 150 ft² and 240v systems ranging from 60 ft² – 300 ft².

Each TileWarm DIY kit includes:

• All heaters needed for the coverage specified.
• Continuity monitors for each heater to alert to any damage to the heater(s) during installation.
• SecuraMat™ protective membrane to ensure trouble-free installation and significantly decrease the likelihood of damaging the element during system and tile installation.
• All installation information and accessories needed, including MatTac™ bonding agent with roller, tray, and a smoothing block, and detailed electrical requirements and installation instructions.
  

  “We want to offer our customers as many options as possible to make their experiences with Speedheat the most pleasant possible,” says Peter Newman, President of Speedheat US.

  “While there are some customers who prefer installation services and/or customized heating systems, we understand that many would like to order their heating systems as quickly and easily as possible whenever they like.  Making the TileWarm™ DIY product line available for online ordering with the additional SecuraMat protection provides just the flexibility that the handy do-it-yourself customers have come to expect.”

Benefits of Radiant Heating

In addition to promoting zone heating, the DOE also explains the benefits of another heating option. “Radiant heating has a number of advantages: it is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because no energy is lost through ducts. The lack of moving air can also be advantageous to people with severe allergies,” sites the DOE.

Electric radiant heating systems supply heat directly to the floor and warm the room from the ground up thereby allowing heat to naturally rise and radiate. For example, when you feel the warmth of a fire from across the room, you are experiencing a form of radiant heating.

“While widely popular in Europe and Asia as a primary heating source,” explains Mr. Newman, “electric radiant floor heating is rapidly gaining popularity in the US as a supplemental heating choice because it safely adds warmth and offers significant energy savings when used in conjunction with a traditional forced air system.”

RugBuddy™ Combines Zone Heating and Electric Radiant Floor Heating

Specially designed to solve zone heating problems, RugBuddy™ is the only UL-listed heating mat in the world, approved for use under area rugs. Like an electric blanket for the floor, RugBuddy™ turns regular area rugs into invisible space heaters and offers all of the benefits of electric radiant floor heating.

To operate, you simply place the heating mat under your area rug and insert the GFCI protected plug into the wall; heating up in minutes. One 5.5 x 8 foot, 470-watt heating panel can warm a 10 x 10 foot room, helping increase your comfort while lowering your energy bills. RugBuddy™ is guaranteed safe no matter what type of floor covering is under your area rug (stone, tile, wood, laminate, vinyl, cork, carpet, etc.).

RugBuddy™ plug-n-heat heaters provide zone heating solutions without the expense or mess of adding additional ductwork, baseboard heating units or dangerous portable space heaters. Since the electric heating panels are hidden under the rug, they are virtually invisible and completely safe unlike traditional space heaters that can tip over and start a fire.

RugBuddy™ heating panels are available in five popular sizes:

RugBuddy™ 470: 5.5 x 8 foot; RugBuddy™ 370: 5 x 7 foot; RugBuddy™ 165w: 3 x 5 foot; RugBuddy™ 165L Runner: 2 x 7.5 foot, and RugBuddy™ 065 Foot warmer: 3 x 2 and can be ordered at www.speedheat.us

Speedheat® Systems Can Slash Energy Use Up to 40 Percent

In addition to the RugBuddy™ portable heating mat, Speedheat® also offers installed products than can be used under virtually any floor covering. When installed throughout a home, the Generation4™ electric radiant floor heating panels significantly improve comfort while cutting energy consumption up to 40 percent.

The ability of Speedheat® to warm from the ground up produces evenly heated rooms that are more comfortable at lower temperatures, allowing users to reduce traditional thermostat settings; thus saving energy and lowering heating costs.

“Until you have ‘experienced’ radiant floor heating,” says Mr. Pieter Jansens, Chairman of Speedheat International, “it is difficult to fully comprehend. Because the radiant heat warms ‘you’ and not the air, you actually ‘feel’ warmer at lower thermostat settings. While the temperature is lower, your ‘comfort level’ is actually higher.”

Additional Speedheat® Benefits

The Speedheat patented Generation4™ heating element is optimally engineered to be “in touch” with floor finishes, it warms floors faster than the competitor’s products and at lower, safer temperatures. The Speedheat element improves comfort, protects sensitive flooring, and conserves energy. It also offers the easiest installation process in the industry under all floor types.

The Speedheat ultra thin heating element is a mere 1/16” in diameter and does not affect floor height. The heater panels consist of G4™ looped element laminated between two layers of polyester. The full-surround ground screen and GFCI protection provide absolute electrical safety and an effective EMR and RF shield. All Speedheat products have undergone rigorous testing, including complete submersion in water while energized. Speedheat products are all UL-listed and National Electric Code (NEC) compliant.

The single largest advantage of Speedheat, however, says Mr. Jansens is their 100% commitment to quality and satisfaction. “We offer customers and business partners a truly risk free proposition. We manufacture our own products to ensure our exacting technical specifications are met. We also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee that applies not only to our customers, but also to our business partners. In short, we produce, deliver, and stand behind our quality products, and we are backed by our 20+ year reputation as a world leader in the industry.”
