Suntouch

Suntouch electric radiant heating mats by Watts Radiant are designed to gently heat tile and stone floors in bathrooms, kitchens, entry ways and sunrooms. Suntouch systems are very cost-effective solutions for smaller spaces (1-5 rooms) because they are easy to install and have a very low start-up cost. An electric digital thermostat is all that is required to operate an under tile heating system by Suntouch and costs only about $100-$200. Suntouch floor warming mats offer many advantages over a warm-water system. Floor buildup is kept to minimum and there are no structural weight loads to consider, common challenges to a traditional hot water radiant heating system. SunTouch mats are installed directly onto concrete board or the subfloor just prior to setting the tile or stone.
Suntouch customers benefit from a faster installation of which most DIY homeowners can tackle. If you are not up for the task, most tile setters already have experience with Suntouch floor warming systems and can easily add this to their installation. You will not regret having warm tile. Floor warming systems are a distinguishing feature to any home and provide much needed heat to tile floors.

You may not know much about Suntouch radiant heating products, but finding out about them could save you a bundle this winter. Whether you’re building a new home or updating your current home, you owe it to yourself to check out the comfort and efficiency that Suntouch radiant heating has to offer.
Radiant heaters are a type of heater that warms objects instead of air. Radiant heat uses objects, such as the floor, to heat a home. The air in the room is warmed when it comes into contact with the warmed objects. Heat loss is reduced and the radiant heat remains in the lower part of the room, warmer near feet level and slightly less so at head level, creating the perfect climate for comfort. Seeing, or feeling in this case, is believing.
Not only is radiant heating is one of the most comfortable ways to hear your home, but Suntouch radiant heaters also offer a diversity of applications. Radiant heaters can be used in a number of applications in residential homes or businesses, including Tiled areas, with Hardwood Flooring, carpeted areas, and even cement floors (such as in basements, etc.  Because radiant heat is delivered via objects rather than through the air, radiant heaters help to keep the whole house at a more constant temperature, which will increase efficiency, and reduce your overall heating costs.

It’s usually true that the best things in life seem to be the most expensive. While I’d agree that is generally the case, I have recently found an exception to this rule. Heated floors, which have always been a luxury, are not only affordable, but can save you a lot of money on heating costs as well.  Suntouch floor heating solutions gives you the luxury you’ve only dreamed of, at a price you can actually live with – comfortably I might add!
Suntouch floor heating systems will allow you to turn down your thermostat two to four degrees. This can reduce energy costs by 10-40% and can be verified with your local utility company. This setback to your thermostat can happen because a radiant floor heats from the ground up and delivers the heat through objects not air. This makes the lowest three feet of your home the most comfortable where a forced air system loses its heat to the ceiling and is required to heat from the top down. Delivering heat by air also makes it easy to escape and increase your overall heat loss.
A good analogy for radiant floor heating to forced air is a car that has heated seats and a forced air heater/furnace. The forced air in a car can dry you out and can become uncomfortable and is difficult to dial in because of the heat loss due to its air delivery. A heated seat will provide you with quick results and will remain warm long after it is reduced or turned completely off. The heated seat actually warms your body and the car seat, not the air. Forced air will over time will inefficiently heat objects but with the negative side effects of dry air, dust and pollen.
If you’ve been dreaming of the comfort of heated floors, but didn’t think you could actually afford it, you should checkout Suntouch.  They have heating systems for any application, no matter what size your budget is.

One common problem with home heating systems is the inability to target specific areas of your home, leaving some areas too hot while others are too cold. However, Suntouch has a solution that allows you to heat individual rooms, without directing heat to areas of your home that don’t need it. Suntouch utilizes electric radiant heating to accomplish exactly this. Radiant heating systems can be easily designed to be independently controlled by zone which enables a home owner to increase the temperature for defined areas of the home during occupancy and conversely allows a particular zone to remain off during down times.
