  • STEP Commercial™ is designed to provide healthy and comfortable warmth in an office, warehouse, factory, etc. The system is ideal for new construction and renovation.
  • STEP Commercial™ can be installed in concrete or over the concrete slab and can go under almost any flooring.
  • STEP Commercial™ does not create drafts and blow dust around. The heat stays where you want it at the body level and not in the ceiling.
  • STEP Commercial™ is maintenance-free and does not require a machine room or dangerous storage of fuel or gas.
  • STEP Commercial™ operates on 24 volts and is normally connected to a transformer but it can also be run on solar or wind power.
  • STEP Commercial™ is self-regulating. As the material gets warmer, less electricity passes through the plastic – therefore it is extremely energy-efficient.
  • STEP Commercial™ is strong, thin and flexible, easy to install and can be cut to size on the job site.

Did You Know?

STEP Warmfloor™ is the most energy efficient heating available because the material itself is self-regulating and only draws the energy it needs to maintain an even temperature on the whole surface.  The heating elements cannot overheat.
