STEP Joists™ under floor radiant heating element element is designed to provide radiant heat to existing floors by accessing the floor joists from below. This element is not slotted and can be stapled and nailed through for easy installation.
STEP Joists™ can be used as primary or supplementary heating and can be installed to heat under most floor coverings, including tile, stone, wood, laminate and carpet. For total heating a heat loss calculation is required.
After stapling the radiant heating elements between the floor joists and making the electrical connections, insulation is installed underneath the heating element. The insulation enhances the energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss and directing the warmth upwards through the floor.
STEP Joists™ is also available in 9" (22.9cm) width.

Technical Specifications
Ordering Information
Strong, thin and flexible element
Designed to provide even and comfortable warmth in a home. A heat loss calculation is required when primary heating is expected
Install elements below existing floor between the joists without tearing up existing floor
Elements can be stapled and nailed through for easy installation
Operates on 24 volts (AC/DC); Connect to a power supply, solar or wind power
Compatible with any floor covering including, tile, stone, wood, laminate, resilient and carpet.
Self-regulating; As the material gets warmer, less electricity passes through the plastic – therefore it is extremely energy-efficient
Easy to install; cut elements to size on the job site, staple or nail elements underneath existing floor between the joists, connect wires to power supply and elements and install proper installation underneath
Maintenance-free when installed and does not require a utility romm or dangerous storage of fuel or gas
