Choosing And Installing Your Warm Tiles® Electric Floor Warming System
Why not enjoy the feel of your floor!
Did you ever notice that if you’re feet feel warm, the rest of your body is comfortable. Warm Tiles creates a floor that is comforting, providing an even floor temperature while hidden under your floor finish.
The Warm Tiles system may be installed directly on plywood, concrete or cement backerboard substrates by simply placing the system in the mortar just below the floor finish, which will only elevate the floor approximately 1/8". Marble, ceramic, glass and porcelain tile; slate; granite and poured or dimensional stone, in addition to laminate and engineered hardwood* products, are just a few of the floor finishes designed to be used with your Warm Tiles Electric Floor Warming System.
UL Listed and CSA Certified, Warm Tiles provides a clean, energy efficient floor warming that only draws as much energy as is needed to maintain your predetermined temperature on the floor surface. Warm Tiles will consume an average of 12 to 16 watts per square foot, depending on installation specifics.
The Warm Tiles systems can be installed by professional electricians, tile installers, general building contractors or skilled Do-It-Yourselfers who have adequate knowledge of flooring and electrical wiring. All installations must be in accordance with all applicable national (CEC and NEC) and local electrical and building codes, regulations and inspection procedures. Electrical inspection may be required during and/or after system installation. Check with your local electrical inspection department before beginning installation. When installing your tile or stone, follow standard tiling procedures of the Tile Council of America for the United States or by the Terrazzo, Tile and marble Association of Canada.
Properly installed, these floor warming systems are a wonderful part of our daily comfort. They are quiet and do not circulate hot air that carries bacteria or mold toxins. Whether you are planning a new bathroom, kitchen, sunroom addition or basement conversion, the Warm Tiles floor warming system is the proven solution for comfort and energy savings.
