WARMA's electric and hydronic floor heating systems provide luxury comfort and consistent heat under your tile, stone, laminate , concrete and timber floors. Hallmarks of WARMA underfloor heating products include affordable luxury comfort, energy efficient use, and control by smart programmable thermostats.

Innovative Features of Warm Floors Heating.

We have developed the most efficient, comfortable, healthy, clean, quiet, and ecological heating system in the world. We routinely heat large homes with the same water heater used for domestic hot water. (And, NO, they NEVER run out of hot water!)

In a field where complication and complexity is the norm, Warm Floors Systems have only one or two moving hydronic parts (pumps), plus they are the simplest systems available, easily repairable with readily available components.

Some important developments and innovations unique and often proprietary to Warm Floors Hydronic Heating Systems are:

System Designs:
  • Custom designed pipe layout, specific to the needs of the project and inhabitants.
  • Modulation of heat output flux proportional to heat loss (Premium Design).
  • Macro-zoning of areas (such as bedrooms, living zones, entertainment, guest areas).
  • Micro-zoning of special places for pets, toilet areas, rare piano zones, and window seats.
  • Choice of economical Select or custom Premium layout designs.
  • Thermal Delights (special warm places) such as marble tub surrounds or shower seats.
  • Pipe layout designs without balancing valves and procedures (Balance by Design).
  • NO moving or adjustable valves or parts located in the walls.

Materials:
  • Pipe: high temperature/pressure PEX plastic, chemically inert, flexible, non-corrosive, continuous in floor, no joints, splices, or mechanical connections, 25 year warranty.
  • Pumps: replaceable cartridge, sealed bearing, fractional HP, 3 year warranty.
  • Other components: all stainless, copper, brass or plastic, without ferrous/iron parts.
  • Heat Exchanger: all stainless steel, oven brazed, counterflow, plate design, efficient.
  • All parts and materials are common readily available, easy to service and replace.

The Hydronic Control Module:
  • Contains complete heating system, except for heat source, floor piping and thermostats (includes pumps, electronic controls and zone valves, fluid regulation, expansion tank, etc).
  • Pre-fabricated for quick installation and easy replacement if needed.
  • Small, hang-on-the-wall, less than 65 pounds; can be shipped by UPS or common carrier.
  • Integrates with passive or active solar with some additional parts (valve, controls).
  • Automatic pressure, temperature, and flow regulation without complicated devices.
  • Automatic water make-up valve with backflow protection and fast flush lever.
  • Automatic expansion chamber air recharging and excess air venting.
  • No regular scheduled maintenance required; nothing to oil, clean, or service.

Source of Heat:
  • Houses may be heated with the same water heater used for domestic hot water.
  • "Combined Hydronic" configuration creates ultimate.
  • Any source of low temperature (90-120°) water can be used, including solar & heat pumps.
  • Module is independent of source of heat, either of which can be changed easily.
  • Common sources of heat include conventional and instantaneous water heaters, boilers, active solar systems, water and ground source heat pumps, and waste heat sources. in energy efficiency and simplicity.
  • Fuel can be anything commonly available: gas, propane, oil, electric, wood, solar, compost.

Electronic Control Systems:
  • Warm Floors Systems can be controlled with most 24 VAC thermostats.
  • The optional Smart Heat System; based on "line carrier command system", uses house wiring to carry signals, requires no extra low voltage wiring.
  • Telephone interface to turn on/off, adjust or monitor system from any phone in the world.
  • Controls are able to use air, water, in-floor or combined sensors to regulate temperature.
  • Economical multiple zoning.
  • Control System integrates seamlessly with all home automation systems on the market.

Future-Forward Technology:
  • Completely flexible components with an eye toward future enhancements and changes.
  • Obsolescent resistant. Source of heat and modularized design easily upgraded.
  • Consistent and more efficient with "time-of-use" utility rate structures.

Thermal Delights:
  • Thermal Delights are special warm places, accomplished with additional pipe and controls.
  • Pet areas for cats, arthritic dogs, hatching ostriches, Asian elephants, lion cubs, and more.
  • Popular for window nooks, patio benches, shower seats and floors, and children play areas.
  • Tub surrounds of marble, tile or other stone. Robe, towel, shoe and other warm storage.
  • Plant places for tropical plants like orchids or other sensitives. Root heat for germinating.
  • Equally, cool areas for shaggy dogs, cool loving plants, pantries or wine cellars.
