| FloorHeat Installation | |
 |
FloorHeat is installed under floor covering. The low-voltage heating element can be nailed or stapled through, making installation quicker and easier than other in-floor heating systems.

| The Power Unit - The step down transformer converts the line voltage (220 Volts) to the low voltage (60 Volts or less). The advanced circuitry in the power unit regulates the system, assuring safe, accurate, and optimal performance. FloorHeat operates on low-voltage and does not require a ground fault switch. It is normally connected to a 24 volt transformer, but can also be run by solar or wind-power sources. The system is maintenance free, easily zoned and energy efficient. |

Heating Element - The floor heating element is a thin,
flexible and durable polymer heating element that is self regulating. When the ambient temperature rises,
the electrical resistance in the heating element increases and the consumption of electricity decreases.
So, as the material gets warmer, less electricity passes through the heating element, making this system one of the
most energy-efficient systems on the market. The self regulating attribute ensures that the element will not overheat.
The floor heating system is ideal for renovation and new construction, and can be used under almost any flooring, including tile, stone, hardwood, laminate, resilient and carpet, etc. No additional floor buildup is required when heating floors with the FloorHeat radiant heated floor system. FloorHeat is a safe low-voltage radiant heating product for practically any application. |

Activation Device - The floor heating system is fully automated and the programmable thermostats save energy by allowing you to have the radiant floor heating system activate only during those times when you need. Thermostats are available that feature a sensor in the floor to measure floor temperature or a sensor that senses the temperature of the room (air). The electronic power controller features a relay output for infinitely variable setting of requested heating output, up to 10A. |
