Warmup Electric Radiant Heat
Summary
Probably the most attractive advantage the Warmup Electric Radiant Heat Stickymat has over competitors is how easy it is to install onto underlayment, without thin-set, especially when applied to Warmup’s thermal insulation boards. Frankly, if you’re not using a thermal insulation board you’re wasting energy and heating inefficiently.
Overall, I was impressed with the Warmup Stickymat WIB and mat system for the following reasons:
- The Warmup thermal insulation boards install easy, and cut the heat-up time by 90%, saving energy and putting more heat into the room.
- The StickyMat measures less than 1/8” and does not impact floor heights.
- The sturdy mesh fiber is durable and the double-sided tape is super-sticky, allowing a secure installation.
- Fast installation: rolls out easily and the heating wire is pre-spaced for even heating.
- Easy to re-position: Can be re-positioned, many times, without losing the adhesive capabilities
My dealings with Warmup Inc were mostly over the phone or via email. I found them to responsive to my requests, communicate well, and deliver product fast — it was all simple and painless. Relationships are important in my line of business and relationships with folks who you can trust will deliver what they promise is paramount.
If you serious about remodeling, now is not the time to get COLD FEET – I recommend giving this product a try!
