Sunlight on a warm hardwood floor.

Warmzone’s trusted floor heating systems offer luxurious, energy-efficient heat for your home or business. Given the vast selection of floor heating systems offered by Warmzone®, customers in the Des Moines area are sure to find the ideal solution for heating their floors.

While most Warmzone floor heating systems are versatile enough to be installed under a variety of different floor types, some systems are ultimately more effective at heating certain types of floors than others. For example, ComfortTile® (the most popular — and versatile — floor heating solution) is designed especially for heating tile and stone floors, but if embedded in thinset or self-leveling compound it is also a preferred system for heating other types of flooring. The thin FilmHeat system can warm different kinds of floors, it is specifically designed for heating floating floors. Each of the proven radiant heat systems we carry has features that make it ideal for specific applications. When you talk with a radiant heat expert from Warmzone, we will be happy to answer any questions you have, and suggest the best options for your heating project.

Radiant floor heating systems are the most efficient heating systems available today. The warmth originates under the floor and spreads out and up through the room, warming objects as well as people. The floor heating systems have proven to be a favorite among families with small children who spend much of their time playing on the floor.

Radiant heat can be easily added to heat one or two rooms as a complement to your existing heating system, adding exquisite comfort to your most popular areas. The systems are easy to customize, and each room is controlled by its own thermostat, further adding to the precise control and efficiency of the system. Common applications for radiant floor heat include bathrooms, kitchens and play rooms.

Warmzone constantly tests and researches the latest systems to offer only the most trusted and proven heating solutions on the market. We carry one of the largest selections of floor heating systems available, and each system offers its own unique features and benefits.
