What is STEP Warmfloor™? How safe is the product? |
|
|
STEP Warmfloor™ is a strong, flexible, thin plastic heating mat. It is made of an innovative polymer blend that heats when electricity is passed through the material. Unlike other types of radiant floor heating, STEP Warmfloor™ has the unique ability to self-regulate. So by design it cannot overheat. STEP Warmfloor™ operates on low-voltage and is normally connected to a 24-volt transformer, but can also be run by solar or wind-power source. To provide power continuously along its length, a flat bus braid is embedded in the plastic sheet heater along each edge. Our system is energy efficient when continuously energized, allowing the self-regulating nature of the heating elements to control the floor temperature.
STEP Warmfloor™ is a very safe product and ideally suited for bathrooms and other wet environments. Because it is mainly a polymer it is unaffected by moisture. STEP Warmfloor™ is a low voltage system (24 V). Further the product has met the stringent international ETL listing protocol and conforms to the ANSI/UL-1693 standard.
