Breaking Hardwood Boundaries
Complete coverage carries complete comfort. In its eternal endeavor to expand the limits of luxury, Thermonet America's commitment to satisfaction catalyzed the creation of novel solutions customized for hardwood, carpet and vinyl surfaces. With that being said, ThermoFoil Pro was designed to streamline underfloor installation and cater to these delicate surfaces.
It is commonly assumed that radiant floor heating is restricted to stone and tile surfaces. Granted, a vast majority of underfloor heating products are designed specifically for under-stone and under-tile installation. Applying conventional stone-and-tile solutions to hardwood and carpet involve precisely and meticulously nailing or gluing planks or sheets on top of an adhesive concrete thin-set. Consequently, installation is ultimately tedious and time-consuming. In addition, the intense heating cycles would compromise the synthetic construction of vinyl finishes and damage hardwood laminate. As such, underfloor heating is often restricted to kitchens and bathrooms. Due to these limitations, it would be understandable if an individual found his/her overall underfloor heating experience lacking.
With ThermoFoil Pro, electric heating can be directly installed underneath hardwood, vinyl, and low-tog (less than 2) carpet floors with added efficiency and minimal buildup all while delivering the same level of performance. As a result, the benefits of underfloor heating can be Designed for floating floors and concrete substrates alike, installation simply involves sandwiching a rigid insulation board, a ThermoFoil Pro Heat Mat, and an acoustic barrier overlay between the substrate and finish. Alternatively, a vapor barrier can be substituted as an overlay if moisture becomes an issue.
Unlike the standard Thermonet stone-tile mat that conducts heat through a concrete adhesive thin-set, ThermoFoil Pro ensures even heat distribution through a double-layer of hard-wearing foil that covers the surface area of the heat mat. This foil covering's unique construction not only ensures efficient heat exchange but protects ThermoFoil Pro's custom heating element, which was designed with the physical properties of hardwood, carpet, and vinyl taken into consideration. Furthermore, peeling flaps placed near ThermoFoil Pro's cable loops allow for convenient accessibility for cuts and turns during installation. Meanwhile, ThermoFoil Pro's featured continuous earth braid protection runs the entire length of the heating cable to ensure electrical safety. In the end, all of these unique and innovative features converge to provide a streamlined and sound radiant heating system catered towards carpet, hardwood, and vinyl finishes.
Thermonet America's ThermoFoil Pro's timber, hardwood, and carpet-specific heating solution exists to expand coverage from just kitchens and bathrooms to dining and living rooms in an effort to complete the underfloor heating experience. As vinyl and hardwood finishes surge in popularity and floating floors gradually replace traditional concrete substrates, Thermonet America's commitment to delivering premium comfort remains constant.
