Did you know that the use of radiant heating via floor warming mats is one of the most comfortable and efficient ways to heat your home. As opposed to forced air heating, which heats the air, floor warming mats heat objects such as your floor. This increases the level of comfort in your home because the heat is distributed at the floor level where we are usually cold, and gets cooler toward our head area, which is usually too hot. Because radiant floor heating distributes the heat in this manner, the comfort in your home is increased. This means no more cold feet!
Another benefit of floor warming mats is that they can be used for nearly any floor area. Areas such as concrete, tile, hardwood, carpet, and even linoleum can all benefit from radiant floor heating. Even if you live in an existing home, radiant floor heating can be retrofitted, in most cases, to your existing floors.
Whether you’re building a new home, or remodeling your existing home, radiant floor heating is a great way to add comfort and efficiency to the rooms in your home that are traditionally hard to heat. Because floor warming mats deliver heat via objects (your floor) vs. through the air, less heat is lost, and your home is kept at a more constant temperature.  This form of heating is much more efficient, and will save you a bundle on your heating costs.  Who wouldn’t want to get more comfort for less money?
