Residents in Buffalo, New York have a wide variety of floor heating options to choose from:
ComfortTile
As our most popular floor heating solution, ComfortTile has proven itself to effectively and reliably heat several floor types. The system features thin floor heating cable (⅛-inch in diameter) that can be purchased in lengths off spools or pre-spaced on an adhesive-backed mesh for quick, easy installation.
Prodeso® Membrane Floor Heating System
The Prodeso® floor heating system features a unique membrane that is installed over the subfloor and then ComfortTile heat cable is installed in the channels provided in the membrane. The floor heating system has a minimal floor buildup of ¼ inch. The Prodeso system serves as an uncoupling, crack isolating and waterproof membrane. The floor heating system can be installed quickly and easily.
In-Slab (SlabHeat)
In-Slab heat cable features rugged construction designed for installation in concrete slabs. The rugged cable is laid out and then the concrete is poured. Concrete slabs efficiently store and transfer heat, making In-Slab floor heating systems one of the most affordable and energy efficient floor heating options on the market.
Low-voltage FloorHeat STEP
The low-voltage FloorHeat STEP system is especially effective for heating laminate and hardwood floors. The flexible polymer heating element is self-regulating, so it is very efficient and won’t overheat. Because the semi-conductive polyethylene heating element is so thin there is virtually no floor buildup. This durable radiant heating system is also used for roof deicing applications. The heating element is installed discreetly under the roof shingles.
FilmHeat & RetroHeat
FilmHeat floor heating systems feature a paper-thin “film” heating element (0.016-inch think) that can be installed directly under laminate and other types of flooring. The element is installed by floating it on top of the underlayment and then placing the floor covering on top of the film. No alarms, no special tools, and no self leveling compounds are needed.
Similar thin heating elements can also be used to heat existing floors. By accessing the floor joists from below, the heating element can be stapled up between the joists and then Batt insulation is installed to direct all the heat upwards. This is an affordable and effective means for heating existing floors.
FoilHeat
The FoilHeat floor heating system features fluoropolymer insulated heating cables that are sandwiched between two layers of specially reinforced aluminum foil. The thin electric radiant floor heating system is designed for use under laminate, cork, engineered wood and other floating floors. This system is easy to install and proven to be an excellent value for providing affordable heat for a variety of floor types.
HeatShield Insulation Panels
The HeatShield floor heating system provides extremely efficient heat for laminate and engineered wood flooring. The ½-inch thick polystyrene insulation panels are covered with thin, specially profiled aluminum to maximize downward insulation and upward heat distribution to reduce energy consumption.
The lightweight aluminum HeatShield Panels conveniently snap together across the length of the floor. The panels have pre-cut grooves for the heat cable, ensuring accurate spacing and allowing you to use the industry's most trusted heat cables (ComfortTile) without the use of mortar and thinset.
