SunTouch Electric Tile Warming System Is Hot New Idea for In-Floor Heating

   Forget about complex mechanical systems or complicated, multi-step mortar processes for your tile installer. An innovative new in-floor heating option is winning rave reviews from contractors and their customers nationwide. The SunTouch Electric Tile Warming System can make cold tile warm to the toes in as little as 12 minutes.
   SunTouch consists of electric heating elements in a thin, woven matrix that are embedded in the mortar beneath hard masonry surfaces. The system can be installed in a single layer of 3/8¨ latex modified mortar and comes in pre-assembled and pre-sized, ready-to-install mats. The system is ideal for warming masonry floors including tile, marble, stone and concrete.
   The SunTouch System is popular for bathrooms, kitchens, entry ways and sunrooms, and can be installed in an area as small as 10-square-feet. It also can be installed in a concrete slab to warm other floor coverings like carpet, hardwood flooring and vinyl. A floor sensing thermostat allows you to turn the system on and off, while a programmable timer can be installed to make sure the floor is turned off when you’re not home.
    It’s not surprising that SunTouch has been rated #1 by Building Products, Remodeling and Builder magazines and that Qualified Remodelers voted SunTouch #2 in the magazine’s Top 100 Products of 1999. With a cost of $15 to $20 per square foot, SunTouch is a cost-effective way to achieve the luxury of a warm floor. The system also comes with a 10-year warranty on materials and labor.
