Radiant Heating Systems by WarmlyYours

"WarmlyYours launches combined shower waterproofing and floor heating kits for tile showers. In addition to providing a complete floor heating system—comprised of TempZone Shower Floor Heating Mat, a nSpire Touch programmable thermostat and a Circuit Check electrical continuity alarm for installation—a kit provides traditional components of shower waterproofing: high-density foam shower pan with integrated slope, multipiece drain assembly, shower curb(s), drain grate cover, and various pieces and rolls of waterproofing membrane."

"One primary benefit is that it (a snow melting system) can help cut down on number of clients that require immediate assistance after a snowstorm,” Billen says. “This will help prevent customer frustration if they’re not waiting for their turn to be dug out of the snow. Another advantage of snow melting systems is that once the snow is melted and evaporated, there will be no residual ice left behind, which can sometimes occur when snow is plowed or shoveled way."

"A classic black-and-white basketweave tile on the floor, satin brass finishes and Shaker-style vanity doors are traditional elements in the room ... Modern functions include a docking drawer pullout, outlets for electric toothbrushes and rollout trays inside the vanity, and heated floors."

"And if you don’t enjoy standing on a frigid bathroom floor in the winter, that’s a relatively easy problem to fix when you’re retiling. An electric radiant-heating mat, made by companies like ... WarmlyYours can be rolled out on the floor before the new tiles are laid to eliminate the chill"

"Billen consistently tries to stay ahead of her competition by applying her passion for the personal touch. "We’ve had a lot of firsts in our industry," Billen says. "We’re always pushing the envelope, trying to make ourselves better, make our products better and make our customer service better"

"The future for the entire remodeling market looks pretty bright, in general, Billen says. “For floor heating itself, we expect to see continued growth in some of the major metro markets; we also expect to see continued growth in sales of the Prodeso membrane and TempZone floor-heating cable.”

“The primary difference between installing floor heating over a slab vs. a wood subfloor is that you should use an insulating underlayment over the slab and below the electric heating system. This is done to prevent heat loss (or heat sink) caused by the slab and to help direct the heat upwards into the room that it’s heating."
