ThermoFilm is compatible with a wide variety of floor materials like vinyl, laminate, and carpet. Let us know if you have any questions because we are here to help. One note you should keep in mind is that ThermoFilm is not rated for wet areas like bathrooms. We have other options available for wet areas like ThermoTile and WarmStep that are perfect for a tile or engineered wood bathroom floor, for example. ThermoFilm is compatible with any underlayment you would use in an installation, including a pre-attached underlayment like some vinyl floors have.Shop Now

ThermoFilm installs directly under a floating floor and is compatible with a variety of underlayment options. Simply lay out your underlayment and then position ThermoFilm above the underlayment. You can also install ThermoFilm under an MDF layer. ThermoFilm mats are then wired in parallel to a floor heating thermostat. The number of mats and layout of the room will affect the exact process of how to wire the heating mats together. Please see the Installation Manual for explicit directions or call us anytime for assistance.Shop Now

ThermoFilm will add up to about 1/32nd of an inch to your floor height. Depending on the type of floor coverings or the potential presence of an underlayment padding, this height may end up being negligible according to industry standards on floor height deviation allowances.Shop Now

Most projects involve using more than one mat, but this means that multiple mats are wired in parallel to the thermostat. The thing to remember is that you are not daisy-chaining in series wiring or extending the mats, but rather combining them to cover the appropriate square footage.Shop Now

ThermoFilm can be shortened by cutting in the indicated spaces on the mats. The areas approved for cutting will be clearly described in the included documentation. While you may shorten the mats in the field, you cannot reshape them, so the mats will remain rectangular in shape and it will be necessary to plan your layout accordingly.Shop Now

The lead wires, also known as cold leads because they do not produce heat, can be cut, shortened, or spliced with additional cold lead wires to lengthen them.Shop Now

ThermoFilm has such a low profile that there is no need to fill in areas that are not heated with some sort of blank material.Shop Now

ThermoFilm produces 11 watts per square foot of heating.Shop Now

The cost to operate is a complicated question to answer, as electrical rates vary by area, insulation of the home, and even by time of day. Additionally, a cost-to-operate is further complicated because the money spent on your radiant heat can result in a net savings on total utilities cost due to reduced use of your traditional HVAC, which is added to by the fact that you will spend less on HVAC system maintenance by relying on electric radiant heat. So, keeping in mind the nuances of describing the operating costs of an electric radiant heat system, we recommend talking to one of our experts about the operating cost of your individual project.Shop Now

Sometimes, we like to answer a question with a follow-up question. Usually, we are asked about “how hot” a system gets for a couple of reasons, so it is important to understood why you ask. Are you concerned about providing enough heat to adequately warm your space? If so, a properly installed ThermoFilm can provide about 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature difference above the ambient temperature of the room. In practice, this is more than enough, even in extremely cold climates. We are positive that you will be entirely satisfied with the heat produced by ThermoFilm. Are you concerned about applying too much heat to your chosen floor material? If so, fear not! ThermoFilm is designed to have a gentle, reliable, and consistent delivery of heat to your floor material. If you are heating a more temperature sensitive floor material, you can ensure a healthy floor with appropriate use of your thermostat. Just give us a call if you need some guidance. Lastly, we highly recommend choosing a thermostat that includes a temperature limiter if this is one of your concerns!Shop Now

ThermoFilm requires no regular maintenance once installed correctly and if left undisturbed (remember your radiant system is down there when planning a remodel!). The heating mats are warrantied for 10 years, but after 17 years being on the market, we have yet to see a ThermoFilm mat fail due to old age. The thermostats that we offer are warrantied for 3 years because we only use thermostats with GFCI protection which, per national electric code, is recommended to be replaced every 3 years. Replacing a thermostat is simple, easy, and inexpensive.Shop Now
