Nuheat™ Materials

Why do so many customers, professional architects, and home developers choose Nuheat mats for their properties?

The reason is simple. No other heating system provides the level of quality and the flexibility as well as the true value of Nuheat mats. In fact, many customers report that Nuheat mats save them time, money, and much more.

Consider this: if you have a traditional heating system such as a furnace, radiator, or baseboard heat, you’re probably wasting hours every year. If you have a furnace you need to spend time, money, and effort having your furnace updated, having your air ducts cleaned, and having your filter replaced.

In addition, if you have any sort of traditional heating system, you spend time adjusting your heat as the temperature outside drops or rises. Some people adjust their heating system a few times per hour. The air in their home get cold, and they turn up the heat. They find themselves too warm, so they turn down the heat again. Some people spent countless hours putting on sweaters and socks, removing items of clothing, and so forth, trying to stay comfortable. This incredible waste of effort and time is really unnecessary.

Easy To Use

With Nuheat mats, you can simply indicate on your thermostat the ideal temperature for you, and the Nuheat mats do all the rest, adjusting periodically to maintain your ideal temperature at your perfect comfort level. Plus, Nuheat mats are completely hassle and maintenance free. They are underneath your floor and require no air filters, cleaning, or other procedures. You don’t have to spend time or thoughts on your heat system — you just enjoy the incredible results.

Saves Money

Many customers with traditional heating systems often also spend a small fortune on their heating systems. For example, customers with furnaces often invest money on filters, duct cleaning, air purifiers, and much more. Customers with baseboard radiator heating often spend considerable amounts of money on electricity, energy bills, and air purifiers. Nuheat mats do not require this outlay of funds. Not only are Nuheat mats less expensive to install than most traditional heating systems, but they cost less to run.

Many people find that they can turn down the thermostat a few degrees when they have their Nuheat mats installed, and this can save them several hundred dollars a month on heating costs. In addition, Nuheat mats required no additional outlay of money. You don’t have to buy an air purifier, since Nuheat mats will not bring allergens into your home, and you don’t have to purchase any additional services or products to make your Nuheat mats work perfectly.

NuHeat Mats Benefits

NuHeat Floor Warming Mats are becoming increasingly more popular due to the many benefits that they provide. These are  just a few of the reasons why people who have NuHeat mats are customers for life.

NuHeat Zone Heating

NuHeat mats give you total control of the floor temperature settings in every room of your home, giving you flexibility and increased energy efficiency. No two rooms are alike, so why have only one, central source of heat? With NuHeat Mats, you can heat your bathroom in the morning for comfort and warmth as you and your family prepare for work and school. Conversely, you can enjoy monthly savings on your energy bill by not heating the living room or guest bedroom, during unnecessary periods of time. Flexibility to suit your life…that’s the NuHeat difference.

Warmer Surfaces

NuHeat mats warm a lot more than just the floor of each room. NuHeat Mats also radiate heat to the wall, moldings and furnishings of each room, increasing efficiency and saving you money. You’ll never have to arise from bed and step on to a cold floor again.

No Fuss, Low Maintenance

NuHeat mats work well not only with newer flooring materials, but with older flooring materials as well. NuHeat mats can be installed under practically every flooring type such as tile, carpet, hardwood and stone.. Once your NuHeat mats are installed, you can relax and enjoy the comfort and warmth of your new floors. There are no ducts or surfaces to clean, and no filters to replace. NuHeat Floor Warming Mats have set the standard for convenience, function and efficiency.

Savings

As the demand for energy increases worldwide through population growth and the emergence of developing nations, it has never been a more important time to make changes in personal energy consumption for the sake of the environment, and for the sake of your wallet. Radiant heat tends to be much more efficient than most heating systems, allowing customers to have more control of their heating costs.

Nuheat has a 25 year warranty for your peace of mind.

Laminate floors & engineered wood can also use Nuheat to keep them warm! For laminate or floating wood floors, prepare the subfloor and spread a thin layer of thinset to secure the mat to the sub floor and install the Nuheat mat. Then cover the Nuheat mat with a 1/4″ minimum of mortar or self-leveling cement. Now you are ready to follow manufacturer’s guidelines to install your laminate or engineered wood flooring. Glue-Down Wood floors are also compatible with Nuheat – see the installation manual for complete details.

A Nuheat Welcoming For Your Home

Nuheat Brings Warmth & Comfort

Having a cozy and inviting home is the goal of many homeowners. After all, no one wants to return home from a hard day at work only to walk into a cold, unpleasant, uninviting, and unwelcoming home. Every homeowner dreams of a home that is a refuge and a haven from the rest of the world.

nuheathome

Nuheat mats take care of those drafts and cold spots that plague many old homes

Unfortunately, many traditional heating systems actually work against homeowners in this regard. That’s because most heating systems produce cold drafts, cold floors, odors, noise, and other unpleasantries which produce a less than ideal home environment. That’s why so many customers are turning to Nuheat mats. Unlike other heating solutions, Nuheat mats provide a radiant warmth, which is a natural and welcoming warmth.

- If you want to love coming home after long day at work, you need Nuheat mats.

Nuheat mats are installed under your flooring and work like an electric blanket for the entire flooring area. Nuheat mats radiate warmth to the floor, your feet, and to the furnishings and other surfaces of the room. Rather than having a room with hot air and cold surfaces, Nuheat mats allow you to enjoy a room that is uniformly warm and pleasant.

- If you have trouble heating certain areas of your home, especially, you will want to install Nuheat mats.

Nuheat mats will take care of those hard to heat areas, such as basements, additional rooms above the garage, patios, and much more. Nuheat mats allow you to bring warmth to those areas of your home that are cooler than expected or which have no heat.

- If you have multiple rooms but only want to heat a particular room, you will want to install Nuheat mats.

If you added a room to your home, you can install Nuheat mats to warm just that one room, rather than redoing your whole heating system. If you have large windows in one room that make that room chilly or if you have a large room that is hard to heat, Nuheat mats are perfect additions to those areas of your home and will work with your overall home heating system to make each area of your home perfectly warm.

Flexibility

In fact, one of the great things about Nuheat mats is that they are so flexible. You can install them all over your home or just install them in those hard to heat areas for supplementary heat. However, once you do install Nuheat mats you may find, like many customers, that you love the heating so much that you want to install Nuheat mats throughout your entire home.

Designers and Architects Use Nuheat Floor Warming Mats

The next time you’re reading about an exciting new development or condo project in your community, take a close look at the heating system. One trend that has been apparent in recent developments is that architects and designers are using Nuheat mats and underfloor heating in order to heat the best new homes and developments.

Nuheat Offers Far More Advantages

The truth is, Nuheat mats simply offer more advantages and far fewer disadvantages than most heating systems that can currently be installed in homes. For example, many homeowners believe that forced air systems are an effective and inexpensive way to heating a home.

However, this is not always the case. Forced air systems can harbor mold, dust, and bacteria as well as other toxins and allergens in the air vents. This can add up to an air quality problem within the home.

Nuheat Creates Soundless Comfort

Most furnace systems make a lot of noise and produce odors. Most also produce cold spots and drafts because they do not completely heat a home. Baseboard heaters and radiators, too, can produce odors, noise, and can lead to cold spots, cold floors, and drafts. Because they work by heating up the air, radiators and baseboard heaters can also be very ineffective and expensive.

By heating up the air, radiators and baseboard heaters actually cause the warm air to rise up towards the ceiling, meaning that the area nearest to the floor — an area where you actually live — becomes the coldest.

Nuheat Radiates Heat To Objects In the Room

Nuheat mats provide a different solution. Unlike trying to heat up the air, Nuheat mats radiate heat to the objects in the room. This helps ensure that the surfaces of the room remain warm, making you feel more comfortable. If you have ever gotten a sudden shock by stepping on an ice-cold floor, and have been warmed by wrapping your hands around a warm mug of hot chocolate, you can understand the basic principle that Nuheat mats use to bring a new level of comfort into your home.

Nuheat Mats Creates An Inviting Atmosphere

The fact is, Nuheat mats provide a much more cozy and inviting atmosphere for any family. The mats are very simple to use and allow you to adjust various rooms in your home into the ideal temperature. For example, if you wish to have a bedroom that is slightly cooler for a peaceful rest and wish to have a living room that is slightly warmer so that children can play puzzles on the floor, Nuheat mats allows you this flexibility. You certainly cannot do that with a forced air system.

Nuheat mats also provide excellent value

Many homeowners find that they can turn down the thermostat a few degrees and still remain cozy and warm. This helps ensure that heating costs remain reasonable with Nuheat mats.

Creating Comfort With Nuheat Floor Heating Mats

Most homeowners worry about space out one point or another. Whether you want to create an extra bedroom in your home for guests, or whether you have a special collection that you want to display or store, the fact is most of us have so many items that we need extra storage space in order to organize our possessions.

No wasted space with Nuheat Mats

However, many of us waste a great deal of space because of our ineffective heating systems. The fact is, most heating systems require clunky accessories and appliances that take up room. Radiators, baseboard heaters, and especially furnaces and air vents and all take a great deal of room. Not only that, but the area immediately around and air vents, baseboard heaters, or radiators often is unusable as well, due to hot air and the possibility of damage, meaning that you and up with even less space in your home.

Nuheat mats are a great solution

Nuheat mats are installed right underneath your flooring, so they take up no room whatsoever. Plus, since Nuheat mats do not overheat, there is no need for you to avoid placing your furniture in specific areas of the room. With Nuheat mats, you can put your possessions wherever you wish. Installing Nuheat mats also allows you to get rid of clunky furnaces, radiators, and air vents. This can literally give you another room of storage space in your home.

Nuheat mats saves money

Nuheat mats can also save you money by providing you with a more effective heating system. Nuheat mats work by radiant heat, which can mean that you can turn down the thermostat a few degrees every day and still experience more warmth and fewer drafts than you would with the old heating systems. Nuheat mats also provide a more comfortable heating experience. With Nuheat mats, you can enjoy different levels of warmth in different rooms, so you can adjust your kitchen to be cooler than your bathroom, for example. Nuheat mats also eliminate the drafts, cold spots, and cold floors that are typical of many homes in the winter.

If you want greater comfort, a better value for your home, utility savings, and more space, Nuheat mats are the obvious choice. Nuheat mats work with virtually every flooring surface and work in every home – from the most modern condo to the Victorian bungalow. You can make your home work with more storage space by switching to Nuheat mats.

Improving Home Values With Nuheat Floor Warming Mats

Interested in improving home equity while reducing overall costs?

Many homeowners worry about money, and consider ways to improve their home in order to raise their home equity. After all, having plenty of home equity ensures that their credit rating can improve and that money is available in case of emergency. Home equity simply refers to the amount of money your home is worth minus your mortgage and other liens on the property.

nh_mat_lead300

For example, if your home is worth $200,000 and you have a $100,000 mortgage, you have a home equity of roughly $100,000. In case of a medical emergency or other financial emergency, you will generally be able to borrow against this $100,000 at a low interest rate — in fact at the same interest rate as your mortgage. Improving your home equity is in your best interests, as is reducing your overall costs.

In fact, most financial experts recommend that living below your means and improving your equity are two of the best ways to safeguard against any possible financial emergency. If you are looking for ways to reduce costs while also improving your equity, Nuheat mats are a great solution. Nuheat mats are actually an innovative form of heating which heats your flooring and your entire home from the ground up. What is exciting about Nuheat mats is that they can change your entire lifestyle, and yes, even your financial situation.

Nuheat Improve Home Values

By improving your home’s overall state of repair and overall comfort level, you can often improve the equity in your home by improving the market value of your home. By improving your home’s overall state of repair and overall comfort level, you can often improve the equity in your home by improving the market value of your home. For example, by installing Nuheat mats you can often replace outdated and ineffective old heating systems.

Many customers find that installing Nuheat mats actually produces more space in the home — up to a whole new room of space — after the furnace and other heating apparatus been removed. Many homeowners also find that installing Nuheat mats also makes a home much more desirable to buyers and therefore more valuable, since many buyers now look for underfloor heating. Therefore, you can improve your home’s equity with Nuheat mats. At the same time, Nuheat mats are not expensive or complicated to install. In fact, many homeowners find that they can install the mats themselves.

Nuheat Can Save You Money

This is because many customers find that they can turn down the thermostat a few degrees throughout their home and still enjoy exceptional warmth. This is because Nuheat mats tend to be more effective than other forms of heating. Rather than trying to heat up the air, Nuheat mats heat up the objects in your room, and these objects retain their heat for longer, transferring heat to you and keeping you warm for longer with less energy expenditure.

Creating Comfort With Nuheat Mats

Nuheat mats can help you make your home more comfortable for a lifetime. That’s because Nuheat mats introduce radiant heating into your home. Radiant heating means that your Nuheat mats work quietly and unobtrusively under your flooring to create an incredible warmth all over your entire home.


The Nuheat mats warm up your floors, which in turn radiate warmth to the furnishings and walls in your home, which in turn radiate heat to you. You enjoy exceptional warmth, warm floors, and better air quality. Best of all, your feet stay toasty warm, making you feel more comfortable overall. With your feet warm all the time, you will be amazed at how much more comfortable you will feel. Research has proven it: when your feet stay warm, you stay warmer and more comfortable over all.

The Nuheat Difference

Nuheat mats do not create any noise and not blow around dust, dirt, grime, allergens, or molds the way that forced air systems can. This can help you breathe easier right away. In addition, Nuheat mats do not require any maintenance. There are no furnace filters to change, no ducts to clean, no air vents to seal and repair. Your system is fully guaranteed for years of hassle-free use. You simply set your thermostat for the temperature that is most comfortable for you, and then you can sit back and enjoy a comfortable day. There isn’t any of the tiresome adjusting of heat and thermostats the way that there is with radiators or baseboard systems. Unlike baseboard systems, furnaces, and radiators, Nuheat mats do not overheat and create of terrible odors in your home. In fact, you will not even notice Nuheat mats in your home. You will simply enjoy warmth and comfort — and is that not the way should be?

Another huge advantage of Nuheat mats is that they make your home more spacious. When you install Nuheat mats, you don’t need clunky heaters or large furnaces. You can get rid of your air vents, furnace, radiators, and so forth. This can create quite a lot of space in your home. If you have a forced air system, removing the air vents and furnace can literally create the equivalent of a whole other room in your home. Wouldn’t your home be more comfortable if you had another room for storage or living? With Nuheat mats, you can enjoy just this advantage.

Making Your Home Family Friendly With Nuheat Mats

It has long been said that “home is where the heart is….,” however,  is your home truly heartwarming, a place where your family can gather to be loving and happy?


For many homeowners, unfortunately, the answer is “no.” Far too many homeowners have uncomfortable homes that actually make living together hazardous and unpleasant. If your home is not doing much to help keep your family together, you may wish to consider Nuheat mats. No other heating system is so good for the whole family.

nuheatfamilyfriendly

Nuheat Mats Provides A Higher Quality Of Living

With Nuheat mats, you can enjoy a higher quality of living and a more family-friendly environment as well. That’s because Nuheat mats allow you to enjoy a completely different sort of heating system. While most traditional heating systems create cold spots, cold drafts, and uneven heating, Nuheat mats create a completely comfortable environment. With Nuheat mats, your floors will be toasty warm and your rooms will be comfortable as well. This will allow you to gather in any room of the house that you wish, in order to enjoy time together with your family.

Nuheat Mats Provides Comfort

With Nuheat mats, you will be able to sit on the floor and solve puzzles with your children, or will be able to sit on the floor with your children in order to watch cartoons together. With Nuheat mats, you won’t have to adjust your family life to suit your environment. Instead, your environment will be perfectly suited for family activities. Your bathroom will be cozy and warm to the feet in the mornings, your bedroom floor will be a perfect place to play video games. Your living room floor will be a great place for romantic picnic or a quick card game. Your kitchen will be much cozier and more comfortable, as well.

Nuheat Mats Sterilizes Dangerous Toxins

If any of your children suffer from allergies, Nuheat mats can actually mean more time at home and less time in the hospital. That’s because unlike forced air systems, Nuheat mats do not blow around dust, mold, grime, and other allergens around the home. While many forced air systems can actually harbor mold, germs, and other dangerous toxins in air vents, Nuheat mats are installed completely underneath your floors, where they cannot gather dust and other toxins and where they cannot distribute these toxins around. The system is simply much healthier, so that you can spend more time enjoying your family and less time worrying about your heating system.

This can not only open all sorts of new space for you, but it can also make your home look larger and more attractive. Plus, the additional room in your home can allow you to arrange your furnishings in a more attractive manner.

Radiant Floor Warming vs. Traditional Heating

Many people have questions about radiant floor warming heat products because the technology isn’t as prevalent as traditional  heating methods.  Below are three of most common misconceptions that people have regarding radiant floor heating systems.


#1: “Nuheat mats are expensive.”

The Truth: Nuheat mats are actually very affordable.  In addition to the relatively inexpensive cost to purchase Nuheat mats, most customers enjoy the benefit of lower monthly energy costs and little to no maintenance for years to come. But what if I there’s a problem with my Nuheat Mats? Nuheat has you covered with a 25 year warranty that even transfers to subsequent owners in the event that you sell your property.

#2: “Nuheat mats are only for new construction.”

The Truth: Today’s leading architects and designers appreciate the benefits, the high level of quality and the comfort that Nuheat mats have to offer.  Nuheat mats are becoming increasing more common in construction projects of all types, from new condo developments to high-end luxury homes.  Nuheat, however, a company in existence since 1874, understands that not everything is new, and has made it simple to install floor warming mats in buildings of all ages, whether newly constructed or of historical significance.

#3: “Nuheat floor mats can’t heat a home & can’t be healthy”

The Truth: Nuheat mats offer a host of advantages in comparison to traditional heating systems.  With Nuheat heated floors, you will have more space in your residence without the need for a bulky furnace, you’ll also enjoy the advantage of a greener, healthier heating alternative. In comparison to traditional heating methods, Nuheat mats offer the following benefits for a healthier home:

  • Save space by getting rid of bulky space heaters and their power cords.
  • Significantly less dust is produced
  • Reduction of mold, bacteria, and other allergens, which can be present in other heating systems.

Nuheat Controls & Thermostats Support

Insulation Cork for Concrete Slab Floors

r-60-corkinsulatingunderlaymentShould you insulate between an existing concrete slab & your new Electric Radiant Floor Heating System?

Many contractors & homeowners think so. Insulation is not REQUIRED, but many customers like to install a “thermal break” while they are installing new floor heating. Heat goes to cold, so warm objects or surfaces transfer heat to cold ones. An Insulating material on top of the slab and under the Electric Radiant Floor Heat elements will slow the transfer of heat from the heating elements into the slab and effectively decrease the time it takes your floor warming system to warm your floor.


There are a few acceptable forms of insulating materials discussed below.

Cork Insulating Underlayment

Our Cork underlayment is 1/4″ thick (actually 6mm or .236″) and is manufactured by Amorim Industrial Solutions, the worlds leading manufacturer in every cork product category.

They have specially engineered AcoustiCORK R60 to provide THERMAL efficiency to most types of floors and are particularly useful under floor heating systems, as they will help reduce energy consumption which saves you money on operating costs.

Unlike most of its synthetic alternatives, the AcoustiCORK R60 insulating underlayment has the ability to keep its acoustic and thermal insulation performance over many years. The physical structure of our cork, with nearly 200 million completely sealed air filled cells per cubic inch, makes it a very effective insulating material. This same physical structure also provides R60 with the ability to be repeatedly compressed and yet recover nearly 100% of its original shape and size.

With an R-Value of 3.1 per inch the cork acts as a “thermal Break” and slows the heat transfer into a concrete slab sub floor when placed on top of the slab. The heating elements are then installed on TOP of the cork, and secured with tape or glue.

AND, cork underlayment also functions as a crack suppression membrane. Acousticork R60 is the economic and effective solution for stress crack prevention under ceramic tiles and hardwood floors. Quality cork underlayment sheets like our product from the industry leader Amorim have been tested extensively for use under tile installations; also often used as a sound insulator in multi-story condominium buildings too.

Amorim’s Acousticork R60 cannot be compared with most other cork products on the market. Our CORK is manufactured using a special process providing the unique features. Millions of square feet of AcoustiCORKTM have been successfully installed under a wide variety of finished flooring materials in projects throughout the world.

This is NOT like bulletin board cork – this is an engineered cork product made for the Tile Industry. The high compression ratio of our cork prevents cracking of tile and grout.

The Tile Council of North America lists cork in their installer guides.

RESILIENCE -

Due to its resiliency and high tensile strength, R60 provides stress crack protection from existing and future subfloor stress cracks.

EASE OF INSTALLATION -

R60, available in rolls or sheets, is applied between the subfloor and finished flooring quickly and efficiently. No mixing, no mess, no costly ”down time” typical to trowelling methods, and no need for a backerboard under ceramic tile or marble to achieve sound reduction.

LOW PROFILE -

For sound control, R60s low height requirements and light weight make it ideal for new buildings as well as remodeling older condos with newer sound rating requirements. Easy to carry and handle too!

ECONOMICAL-

R60s fine reputation is based on the unique advantages mentioned above and LOW COST. The material itself is very inexpensive in comparison to other products used for the same purpose. The flooring can be installed directly on R60 shortly after it has been adhered to the subfloor. There is no added labor, material or down time – all of which equal big savings!

PROVEN TRACK RECORD -

Amorim has been producing cork products since 1870 was introduced as early as 1979 for applications under ceramic tiles and marble. In contrast to other products and many sound control methods available for similar applications and has a proven flawless track record. Furthermore, its practical success is supported by grueling laboratory tests.

AcoustiCORK R60 cannot be compared with any other cork product on the market. R60 is the cork underlayment which meets two essential requirements for use under ceramic tile or marble: A Compression Ratio sufficient to avert cracking of ceramic tile and grout and Resistance to Moisture which prevents deterioration.

Other Floor Insulation Materials

Commonly believed to be helpful, but not recommended for direct contact with Electric Radiant Floor Heating products

Metal / Foil –  If these are placed in contact with electric floor heating, you will lose the reflective nature. Reflective insulation requires an air space to be effective – NOT RECOMMENDED.

Foam Insulating Boards – Unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the foam board to be in direct contact with a heating wire between 130 and 150 Degrees F AND with the compressive strength necessary to pass Robinson Floor Tests. Most foam products will not work under tile.  NOT RECOMMENDED


If you choose an insulating material for installation under your floor covering it is ESSENTIAL that you verify this material is approved for use:

  • With your chosen Floor covering and installation method & material
  • With the Electric radiant under floor heating system you have chosen for installation in the floor
  • Has the product been tested or evaluated for use with both your flooring and Electric Radiant Floor Heatings systems by an association like the Tile Council of North America ?
  • Has the insulating material PASSED the Robinson Floor Test for use under tile or stone?
