 WarmRite Floor Advantages
Comfort
WarmRite Floors provide the ultimate in home heating comfort – cool uninviting tile or hardwood floors are transformed into luxurious living space.
WarmRite Floors can provide primary heating for the entire home, or they can be designed to provide select floor warming to certain areas of the home – while existing heat sources provide primary heat.
What ever your specific needs, ask our WarmRite Design Experts for complete details on increasing your home comfort level.
Heat Distribution / Room Temperature
WarmRite Floors provide an even, constant heat throughout the entire house. Warmth stays were it’s needed most, at the floor level.
Forced air systems distribute heat unevenly with hot air rising to the ceiling. This creates a " Warm Head – Cold Feet" sensation which is not what the body likes.
WarmRite floors allow you to heat the extremities – feet, legs – and provide you with greater personal comfort at a reduced room temperature.
The same room with forced air heating may require air to be heated as much as 20-30 degrees hotter in order to provide the same level of overall warmth to your body.
Dust Control
WarmRite Floor heating systems eliminate the blowing of dust associated with forced air heating systems.
WarmRite systems circulate heated water through Kitec pipes installed within or beneath your floors. The warmth is transferred to the floor and to you, without the hassle of blowing hot air and dust particles around your home.
Allergies
Because WarmRite Floor heating systems do not blow hot air around the home, the amount of dust, pollen and other irritants distributed throughout the air is greatly reduced. This built in benefit makes WarmRite radiant heating systems a favorite with allergy sufferers.
Energy Efficiency
Individual heating designs must be calculated for each project and style of installation. Analyzing floor coverings, understanding insulation levels, whether slab construction, topping pour or staple up installation is required - each aspect of the design requires detailed attention.
In general however, a WarmRite Floor radiant heating system requires less energy to operate and keep your home comfortable than does a typical forced air furnace.
WarmRite Floors circulate warm water at temperatures typically from 90oF – 140oF depending on the design. The system uses these relatively low temperature levels to create a thermal heated mass in the floor that in turn radiates warmth to the home’s occupants.
Less energy is required to heat water to these temperatures than is required of a forced air system to heat and blow air throughout the house. WarmRite Floor radiant heating systems are more efficient at heating the home as well, with far less heat being lost to the ceiling of the home.
