SunTouch WarmWire is the affordable alternative to SunTouch Floor Heating Mats.
WarmWire floor heating cables are similar in construction and provide heat just like SunTouch mats, but install differently and cost less. Simply place and attach the WarmWire strap to the subfloor and weave the wire back and forth between straps to create your own heated area. Cover with thin-set or self-leveling mortar and finish with almost any floor covering. You weave the wire onto the subfloor while maintaining the spacing of wires.
WarmWire is the best there is.

WarmWire = 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 WarmWire 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 WarmWire.
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 WarmWire Zero EMF systems, but we leave the choice to you after explaining what we do know.
