Carbon UL listed laminate flooring heater

February 4th, 2007

Carbon layer

The only UL listed carbon element in North America for laminate floor heating

Some of the benefits you’ll enjoy with Warmup’s new Carbon Heating System:

Cleaner - Underfloor heating reduces air currents and hence the number of airbourne allergen and dust, aiding allergy sufferers.

Aesthetics - Once the system is installed, it’s hidden, except for the discreet room thermostat. It can be used as a sole source of heating (have an architect do a heat loss calculation first), so it can replace unattractive, wal-hungry radiators, giving you more design freedom and wall space within a room. It’s also ideal for rooms with high ceilings.

Warm floors, when you want, where you want - A key benefit of electric underfloor heating is the option of warm floors when you want them, all year round, without having to heat your entire home. Each room can be individually adjusted to suit your needs.

Environmentally and economically efficient - Radiant heat is a gentle heat rising from the floor, rather than heating the ceiling space first, offering you the same comfort levels while operating at 4-50F/2-30C lower than convection systems. As a result, you save on fuel costs, especially if the subfloor is well insulated (we recommend Warmup Insulation Boards).

Safe - it won’t warp laminate or overheat because it has a positive temperature coefficient which self regulates the system, so the warmer the element gets, the lower the energy draw (maximum heating capacity is 800F/26.50C). It has been tested extensively and is UL listed, giving you peace of mind.

Warmup Testimonials

November 30th, 2006

Its always good when customers say nice things about you:

H. Schreiber, Germany:

Dear Mrs Thull, Thank you very much for your kind support (delivery of the system and the repair kit). I never experienced such a commitment and helpfulness before. Please pass my regards on to your husband. For my underfloor heating in my bathroom (Q2, 2007) Warmup will certainly be my first address. A very satisfied customer. Best regards from Munic
H. Schreiber

Rosamund Fellowes, UK:

Dear Howard, Thank you very much for your email. I am sorry to have pestered you with such an in inane request. I did in fact speak to one of your very helpful and well trained colleagues, who gave out some excellent advice re adhesive. I had to, in the end, purchase one more sheet of insulating board which was so easy from your warehouse. It is now all down and tiled over and lovely and warm. Thank you for all your help and advice. I will now persuade everyone to install it ! With best wishes.
Rosamund Fellowes

Joy Dancses, US:

It is damp and dreary outside this morning. I poured a cup of coffee in the kitchen and strolled into the den. In the den my bare feet were greeted by a warm tile floor. What a thrilling sensual sensation radiating from my feet through my whole body.Everyone needs heated tiles. It is not a luxury it is a necessity.
Joy Dancses

C. Brennan, UK:

I wish to congratulate you on the excellent service I have received from one of your technical support staff (Dorna). I have recently had some problems with my (much loved) Warmup underfloor heating system and Dorna has ensured that I was able to correct the problem. Indeed, were it not for the assistance I have received I probably would have given up trying to fix it and been left deeply unsatisfied with the product. As it is I should soon have my warm floor back and will recommend the system to anyone that is in the market for such a product. With this type of product after-sales care and technical support is important and in this case it was faultless. Well done and thank you! Kind regards
C. Brennan

Allan & Janet Sterry, UK:

Dear Warm Up People, I’ve just finished my bathroom floor and wanted to say how utterly delighted my wife and I are with it. It’s been one of the best DIY jobs I’ve ever done and everybody I’ve showed it to has been impressed. I used the on-line help for a couple of questions and found that really useful and even find the little multi tool gift to be good and in no way tacky. The wall Tstat does everything you want and I’m delighted with that unit too! Sorry I can’t offer any suggestions for improvement but I’m now looking at my kitchen floor…..I wonder…..?? Thank You, Very, Very Pleased

Underfloor Heating keeps dogs warm!

October 4th, 2006

A brand new kennel has opened in Uddingston (Scotland) with underfloor heating to keep the dogs warm and cozy. The new kennel is a rehoming centre where orphaned and abandoned dogs are looked after until new homes can be found.

The rehoming centre (owned by the charity Dogs Trust) takes great care to keep the dogs healthy and happy whilst prospective new owners are vetted for suitability.

If it’s good enough for your dog it’s good enough for you! Contact Warmup to find out how you can benefit from underfloor heating.

Warm Floors in Alaska!

September 25th, 2006

The Alaska Star suggest some “cozy ideas for a warmer winter” (story) that clearly illustrates the benefits of radiant heated floors even in the arctic chill.

One of the hottest trends in home renovations is to add the affordable luxury of electric radiant heat underneath the floor. Not only does it take the chill off a tile, stone, engineered wood or laminate floor, but it can also reduce winter heating bills.”

The growing popularity of electric floor heating is a direct result of its benefits: low cost (installation, operating cost, and low maintenance), a comfortable warmth that you simply can’t get from conventional heating, no ugly radiators. Contact Warmup to find out how easy it is to have warm floors all year round.

Rammed Earth Homes with Radiant Heat

September 25th, 2006

The Napa Valley Register has an interesting article (story) on homes constructed with rammed earth (a technique used as far back as 2,000 B.C. in Mesopotamia and ancient China) that use radiant heating to keep heating bills under $60 per month.

Lance Emerson has lived in a rammed earth home on Old Sonoma Highway in the Carneros region of Napa for nine years. “The walls are 24 inches thick,” said Emerson. “The floors have radiant heating which can be controlled in individual rooms. Because of the thickness of the walls, the inside temperature stays consistent. In the winter, the walls absorb heat during the day and release it at night. We’re a family of four and last winter we didn’t have a heating bill over $60 a month. In the summer, we open the windows at night and close them in the morning. It stays at 65 degrees.”

Another interesting example of how radiant heating can deliver comfortable year round warmth reliably and efficiently.
