Warmup’s reputation as a world leader in under floor heating products reached new heights recently when it featured on CNN’s top rating show ‘Open House’.

Warmup was invited to explain and demonstrate the benefits of radiant heat, which had become a massive trend in the US and the rest of the world.

The episode provided viewers with a walk-through interview of the Warmup offices in the US, where they explained the difference between undertile heating and laminate heaters. The tour of Warmup then concluded with a demonstration on how quick and easy it is to install with no specific skills or tools required, other than an electrician to wire up the thermostat.

Open House, now called ‘Your Bottom Line’ is a program designed to show how the political and economic news of the week can affect a viewer’s bottom line. It features anything from personal finance and houses and cars, to personal debt and bank accounts. The ultimate aim of the show is to give viewers information on how they can save money in different areas.

Warmup's US Managing Director Sharon Mangino said they had seen significant growth in the radiant heat market in the US over the past few years.

Mangion said radiant heat had become an affordable and easy-to-operate solution to providing luxurious warmth and comfort for people buying new homes and remodelling existing ones.  With Warmup’s underfloor products you can control where and when the floors are heated.

“For home owners who lay tiles, stone, laminate and engineered wood throughout their home, Warmup has a range of ultra-thin heating systems that gently warm the different floor surfaces. The state-of-the-art carbon heater was introduced for laminate and engineered wood flooring and the response has been overwhelming”, Mangino said.

Warmup systems can be used to take the chill off the room or in some instances as a sole source of heating, without encroaching on interior design. Running costs for an average room are the equivalent of three 100 watt light bulbs to operate. The thermostat controls the system and monitors energy consumption.
