If you are considering heated floors for your home, you may be asking yourself the following

questions:

1) Do you have allergies? Radiant heat from a product such as Suntouch floor mats may help. Many traditional systems trap dust and

other allergens. For example, radiators and baseboard heaters trap dust. Forced air systems can be even worse, since ducts can store

mold, dust, and other toxins and expel them along with heat. With Suntouch heated floors, you do not have to worry about this. With

Suntouch floor heating, you can get rid of your carpeting and enjoy cleaner hard surface floors. Plus, Suntouch mats are installed under

the surface of your floor. They cannot trap dust the way other traditional heating systems can. Many customers find that they breathe

easier with radiant heated floors. Studies prove it: electric radiant heat can improve indoor air quality and minimize allergens in the

home.

2) Do you have small children or elderly relatives living with you in your home? Studies have shown that radiant floor heat can be

safer for children and for the elderly. Suntouch warming mats and other types of electric floor heat create a better warmth (with no

drafts and cold spots) which is better for everyone in your family. As well, Suntouch electric floor heating reduces the risk of trip and

fall accidents and burn accidents, which can be associated with traditional heating systems.

3) Are you worried about your wooden floors? Many customers mistakenly assume that they cannot install a Suntouch floor system under

wood floors. However, research has shown that virtually all flooring surfaces, including wood, fare well with electric floor heat. You

can enjoy beautiful hardwood floors and all the benefits of electric radiant floor heating.

4) Do you want to lower energy costs? Suntouch underfloor electric floor heat systems can save you money on your energy costs. Suntouch floor warming system are energy-efficient and can actually save you money over your

traditional heating system costs, as electric radiant heat floors are in fact a more efficient form of heating. You can turn down your

thermostat a few degrees, enjoy the energy savings, and still be cozier with electric radiant heat floors than you were with your old

traditional heating system.

5) Might you sell your home in the next 5-10 years? Radiant floor heating can increase the value of your home. Value-conscious

homebuyers see radiant floor heat as a definite bonus when buying a home.

6) Do you want a heating system that is proven sound? There is evidence that by 60 AD, the Romans were heating buildings by heating

from underfloor heating systems. Radiant heated floors are a proven system that has been with

us since ancient times. Today’s electric radiant heat systems have evolved over generations to offer the best possible heating

system.
