STEP Heating Element™
STEP Warmfloor™ is the most versatile heating system on the planet. It was designed for the ultimate in comfort and versatility. No other system offers the simplicity, reliability, and versatility of our innovative self-regulating, low-voltage electroplastic element.

With an emphasis on safety and efficiency, STEP Warmfloor™ is the ultimate solution for floor warming or complete heating. STEP Warmfloor™ is approved for use with any non-conductive floor covering including natural stone, ceramic and porcelain tiles, hardwood and laminates, resilient, and carpet. And, because the heating element can be placed directly below most any floor covering, installation is a breeze! STEP Warmfloor™ is perfect for remodeling, room additions or for new construction projects.

EASY TO INSTALL
Easy Installation
STEP Warmfloor™ is a durable, yet thin (3/64") 12" wide element. It is flexible and can be cut to length on the job site. Once layout has been determined, simply cut the element to the appropriate length, make the electrical connections, and run the wires to the terminal board(s) and transformer. Secure the elements to the subfloor (with adhesive, staples, or pegs) and cover according to trade practices. It is that simple…no system is easier!
MAINTENANCE-FREE Once installed, the system will provide a lifetime of comfort. There are no high-temperatures, stress, or wear on the material. There is no need for a machine room with a boiler, pumps, and valves to maintain. There is no dangerous storage of fuel and gas or risk of electrical shock.

SAFETY & EFFICIENCY STEP Warmfloor™ is the safest electric system on the market. The system is ETL listed and complies to ANSI/UL-1693 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 no. 217 standards and CE marking. STEP Warmfloor™ operates on low-voltage and does not require a ground fault interrupter. It is normally connected to a 24V transformer, but it can also be run by a solar or wind-powered source. Because the elements are self-regulating and cover over 60% of the floor surface, STEP Warmfloor™ is more efficient (up to 30%) than cable and hydronic systems and up to 60% more efficient than conventional forced air systems. The system is easily zoned too!

COMPATIBLE WITH ANY FLOOR COVERING
STEP Warmfloor™ is approved for use with any non-conductive floor covering including: natural stone, ceramic and porcelain tiles, hardwood and laminates, resilient, and carpet. And because the element can be placed directly below the floor covering, installation is a breeze! STEP Warmfloor™ is perfect for new construction or remodeling applications.
Installs Between Joists
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE The heat generated from STEP Warmfloor™ gives the ideal gentle warmth over the whole floor surface. As documented by ANSI/ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.), the ideal floor temperature is 75°F (24°C). Health guidelines require floor temperature not to exceed 82°F (28°C) all within the range of STEP Warmfloor™. Because STEP Warmfloor™ is self-regulating, it maintains the ideal temperature.

GREEN? NO SWEAT! STEP Warmfloor™ is a green heating system designed to meet demands for safety, comfort, and efficiency. It is made of non-hazardous materials and is recyclable. It can also use alternative energy sources such as wind, solar panels, and hydro-power. STEP Warmfloor™ does not circulate dust and allergens that can cause respiratory problems. Due to increased temperature at the floor level, there is less moisture, thereby inhibiting dust mites and mold/mildew problems.

Unique Benefits of STEP Warmfloor™
  • STEP Warmfloor™ can be placed closer to the surface than any other radiant floor heating system.
  • STEP Warmfloor™ reacts immediately to external temperature changes.
  • STEP Warmfloor™ is 100% efficient; all electrical power is directly transferred to heat.
  • STEP Warmfloor™ is self-regulating, therefore it draws only the energy required to maintain the ideal temperature.
  • The even distribution of the floor heat reduces drafts allowing you to lower your room temperature while feeling more comfortable.
  • STEP Warmfloor™'s method of continuous heating is more efficient than other cycled heating systems.

Did You Know?

Studies from the "Sick Building Syndrome" show a direct relation between indoor climate and symptoms such as fatigue and headaches.  Research shows that thermic indoor climate is also related to productivity.  The level of comfort with radiant heat at lower temperatures increases productivity by 20-30%.
