What's In The Box TapeMat, SunStat Command Programmable Touch Screen Thermostat, Floor Sensor, LoudMouth, Sm. Roll of Double-sided Tape, Digital Multimeter. Detailed Installation Manual. Individual Items (1) 2' x 70' 24007024 (1) 2' x 80' 24008024 Warranty 25 Year backed by 140 year old USA Manufacturer Why Helps 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.

The easiest heating solution out there
The unTouch heating mat was one of the easiest installations of my 10 year home renovation saga. the adaptability of the mat to install in almost any location, along with easy to following instructions for testing the mat with easy to use tools was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth the time and money. -
so far so good
It was installed no problems. I choose the sun touch over the nuheat because of the ability to cut the matt backing and rotate it. it added some additional height to the floor and made the tile install a two step process but so far it is working. I haven't started it up full time yet but i have test run it. looking forward to warm bathroom...
