Radiant heated floors certainly beat baseboard heaters in several aspects in terms of performance, but perhaps the crowning feature of heated floors is the maximum flexibility they offer consumers. Electric radiant heating offers three main traits of flexibility that baseboard heating systems don't: installation freedom, variety, and custom design plans.


Installation Freedom
Radiant heated tile floor.Baseboard heaters can usually be installed in any room, whether the house is old or new. Finding the wall space, however, can be a tricky task. Additionally, having to rearrange your room to accommodate a baseboard heater isn’t exactly fun.


Radiant heated floors, on the other hand, can go in any room under any surface. Floor heating systems can also be installed under existing floors as well. Whether you’re building a brand new home or sprucing up an old one, there are radiant floor heating systems designed to accommodate your specific needs so that everyone can experience the benefits of radiant heated floors. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about keeping your furniture away from a dangerous heater. Feel free to place that fabulous new sofa wherever you see fit.


Additionally, heated floors can be installed on virtually any surface you can think of. Install one in your carpeted living room, your hardwood dining room, your tiled bathroom, or all of the above.


Variety
When it comes to choosing a baseboard heater, there aren’t that many options to choose from. All baseboard heaters are essentially the same quality that can leave much to be desired.

With a radiant heated floor system, however, you have a slew of high-quality products to choose from. A great place to view some of the best radiant heat products is the Warmzone website (www.warmzone.com). Warmzone is an ideal example of an established radiant heat provider offering products that are regarded as the "best in class" and available at competitive pricing. Included with the systems are industry leading customer services. Whether you choose ComfortTile heating mats or cable, In-Slab heat cables, or HeatShield floor heating insulation panels, you’re sure to be satisfied with your heated floors for years to come.


Custom Design Plans
Another great advantage of switching to radiant heated floors is receiving extensive customer support services. When you are ready to make the switch from baseboard heating to electric radiant heated floors, the top radiant heat providers will walk you through the whole process from start to finish.


Company's like Warmzone design a custom radiant heating plan designed around your needs. They understand your needs aren’t the same as the next customer’s, and they’ll design a customized plan of action (complete with AutoCADs) to make sure that your radiant heated floors not only meet but exceed your expectations. Installation training and technical support is also included.


When it comes down to it, there’s just no reason to continue to wallow in old heating technology blues. Radiant heated floors offer superior efficiency, quality, and convenience that baseboard heaters couldn’t even think of touching. Say no to noisy, unsightly heaters and yes to cozy, consistent heated floors that will keep you, your family, and your wallet happy all winter long.
