Can you recommend Thermasoft heated floors? Who do you recommend?

18 years ago

I must decide on heated floors soon and was leaning toward Thermasoft ThermoTile until two regulars on GW had problems with the mats. One had a problem because the warning monitor never indicated a kink (during the installation process), and only discovered the problem with the completely tiled floor. The other had the GFCI kick off, resulting in a 30 SF cold spot, after having the floors installed for a year. I am not certain if either situation has been resolved.

If you have had success (lengthy preferred) with Thermosoft, please inform. If you have had success with another radiant heating mat, please post. Your input will be most appreciated as personal experiences are highly regarded and I must choose soon. Thanks in advance.

    We DIY installed Warming Systems in our master bath (Jun 07)and kitchen (Nov 07). We've had no problems with either, and have become absolutely addicted to radiante heat.

    We DIYed the SunTouch WarmWire system (heating cable). They also make mats. Installed winter of 06/07. No problems at all. Really nice on the feet!

    You both say that it's great on the feet, which is why I keep considering it, even though we live in the South. Cold tile does not feel 'just peachy' on cold mornings, regardless of where you live.

    Weedy, I have followed some of your posts. When you put down your kitchen mats, was it because you were re-tiling your kitchen? Why did you chose 'Warming Systems?'

    We remodeled the whole kitchen; hence the new floor. We had put heated floors in our master bath and loved them so much we decided to put them in the kitchen as well.

    We chose Warming Systems because they were the least expensive. I looked all over the internet and most companies were $8/sq foot and up. WS was like $3.62. It's not a mat; instead, you tape the wire to the floor. But it's pretty simple to put in. And it works great.

    Thanks Weedy,

    I seem to spend so much time on the internet these days looking for answers, that I can truly appreciate and respect someone else's research. Do you know if Warming Systems makes a mat? My installers have never put in radiant heating before so I am thinking that I should stick to a mat product, to make it as simple as possible ... for them and for me. I'm already introducing them to Kerdi, I don't want to drive them TOTALLY crazy.

    If you get a chance to revisit an older thread, you and I were on the same post a couple of weeks ago. It was entitled "What about a 'shower pan' instead of tiled floors?' I asked you some questions regarding some pics you posted, but the thread kind of ended. It's currently on page 9, or thereabouts. If you have the time to revisit it, would you do so? I would still like to know about shower glass. Thanks so much.

    Well here I am again. I redid my master bath several years ago when SunTouch first came out. I've had it about 3 years now (heck, maybe more -- I'd have to search the posts) and I could NOT be happier with it. It costs us maybe $2 per month and it is awesome. We have it in our tiny master bath, and in our huge den (huge to me -- 26 x 26).

    We like it so much that we'll be putting it in our kitchen remodel (next on the list). I also just put it in my spare bath and love it.

    I had a heating contractor over a few days ago (actually 4 -- we need a new heat pump and I was getting estimates). I mentioned it when showing our intake vents and he took off his shoes and stepped on our bathroom floor. His expression said everything. It is simply great.

    We haven't had any problems and have had it over 3 years.

    mommielady: I don't think WS makes a mat, though their website seems to imply that they do. You might try calling them to find out.

    Sorry I missed your questions on the other thread. I'll go hunt it down.
