Overview

SunTouch has always been the leader in floor heating, but now the company has launched a new TapeMat design to make installing floor heat in your home easier and simpler than ever before.

If you have been considering floor heat for some time, the new improvements with the innovative SunTouch Tape Mat design make this the perfect time to install floor heat!

TapeMats come in Mat kits and are also available in 24 and 36 inch mats. What makes this SunTouch product so innovative? The tape mat has strips on both sides so you can simply peel the backing off and stick in place. In addition, the TapeMat design has a lay-flat fiberglass mesh which ensures that the floor heat mats stay in place and stay flat as you trowel over the top.

TapeMats were designed with one important feature in mind: ease of installation. With TapeMats, you can easily install floor heat in your home - even if this is your first home DIY project.

If you want to install SunTouch floor heat in your home, SunTouch makes it easy. In addition to the new TapeMats design, created expressly to make floor heat installation easier than ever before, SunTouch also provides expert before and after purchase support as well as step-by-step instruction manuals and even how-to-videos to guide you through the simple installation process.

But SunTouch mats are not just easy to install. They are also one of the simplest and best ways to add cozy heat to your home. SunTouch floor heat mats spare no expense in quality, with a patented dual wire design to ensure a durable floor heat system and virtually zero EMF exposure for you and your family.

SunTouch mats also pack a powerful heating punch, with 12 Watts/SF and 41 BTU/SF and in heat output, outperforming many baseboard heaters.

What is the SunTouch advantage?

  • SunTouch floor heat can be used in virtually every room of your home, under virtually any flooring surface - even under your shower and bath steps;
  • A comprehensive 25 year warranty;
  • SunTouch floor heat mats have been independently tested and found to have virtually zero EMF exposure;
  • SunTouch products are UL Listed and have been assigned the Extra Heavy Duty rating from the Tile Council of North America Tested, the highest rating possible;
  • SunTouch floor mats are odorless, silent, and completely hidden under your floors;
  • SunTouch makes it easy to heat larger floors because the mats can be connected together in parallel directly to the Thermostat;
  • SunTouch mats do not require a conduit, thanks to durable 10 Ft power leads;
  • SunStat offers range of thermostat options, including ones with GFCI protection and floor temperature sensing;
  • SunTouch Mats are made by Watts Radiant, a public US company that has been in business since 1874.
Product Details

SunTouch = Zero EMF

An emerging issue in the electric radiant heat industry is EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. SunTouch pioneered and sells only ZERO EMF products constructed with active dual wire EMF-canceling technology.

All SunTouch products use a complex wire construction with two heating elements in parallel with an added and patented helical twist to eliminate EMF. Other electric radiant floor heating companies sell single-wire systems that release high levels of EMF when compared to SunTouch.

What is EMF? Electromagnetic fields (EMF) come from all electrical appliances, but studies show an average American's daily exposure is less than 1 unit (mG) of EMF. But. when you sit on an unshielded electric radiant floor, you may be exposed to 20, 40, or more times the average daily exposure. This Data comes from Independent testing. Read More Here

Is limiting exposure to EMF important? No one is certain. The World Health Organization says the data is inconclusive to date, but continues their research. We provide this EMF information because it is important to some people, not to frighten you or exaggerate any risk.

For many years customers have chosen SunTouch Zero EMF systems, but we leave the choice to you after explaining what we do know.

    Roll Out Mat(s)
    Turn and cut mesh (if needed) to custom fit to your room. Attach mat to subfloor with the built-in tape then mount the SunStat and place floor temperature sensor between 2 heating wires.
