Energy Savings

Thanks to its flat shape which offers a very large surface of heat exchange, as well as the small distance between heating elements, when Warmset’s technology is applied to an underfloor heating system it ensures remarkable energy savings compared to conventional radiator pipes or heating cable systems.
Consequently, the high speed of the spread of heat makes it so the system doesn’t stay on for too long; the temperature control is then done by underfloor sensors that accurately read the temperature reached. In any case, with an underfloor heating system you reach the condition of well-being with an average room temperature usually at 1 or 2 °C less than any other type of heating system. This feature means less power is required, thus making you save electricity and causing a considerable drop in management costs.

Strong, Long-lasting, Maintenance-free

Warmset’s underfloor electric heating system is essentially static, since there aren’t any fluids or moving mechanical parts. Thanks to these characteristics, the yield remains constant over time, considerably lowering maintenance and inspection costs.
Once it has been laid, the heating system does not require inspections or annual cleaning, as often is the case for smoke tests or cleaning systems that employ heating machines which rely on natural fuel. But that’s not all. The materials the system is made of are commodities which wear out slowly over time; this guarantees regular and constant efficiency of heating even after a great deal of time has passed.
The base of Warmset technology is a multi-layer metal-plastic laminate. The pairing of different materials with different characteristics guarantees high mechanical resistance, lowering the likelihood of breaking or damage during construction. Specifically, the layer-by-layer lamination of the different materials ensures great performance in terms of elasticity and when under tensile stress thanks to the combination of the mechanical properties of aluminum, carbon fiber and plastic materials.
The development of the thermal and chemical characteristics of the materials guarantees their yield and duration in the conditions foreseen for installation. The polypropylene offers proper chemical resistance to the substances in cement, keeping the internal structure of the conductor intact; the sticker in reactive polyurethane, used to glue the different layers, ensures excellent performance in sticking, water resistance and mechanical stress.

Easy to install

The Warmset system is easy to install. Since it is an electrical system, all you have to do is follow the instructions for laying and setting in place, and then connect the system to the grid.
With a simple diagram that takes into account the floor plan of the surface that needs to be heated, figuring out how to properly lay the heating system is a piece of cake, taking advantage of the hanks used for gathering the Warmset technology.
To install it, all you have to do is unroll the hank like a carpet and follow the instructions on cutting the backing when you need to start a new row during laying. The hank was designed to be laid out over the entire surface, except for the areas under unmovable furniture or with no way to get underneath it. Once the surface is covered, all you have to do is set up the cables in parallel going towards the grid between the hanks installed and the electrical line.
The remarkable flexibility of Warmset’s technology during installation allows you to easily get around obstacles or bulky elements, keeping the entire surface covered to guarantee an optimal system yield.
The space the Warmset system takes up is nothing compared to conventional pipes or heating machines. Just think that a EUR-pallet can hold over 150 m2 of electric heating system.

100% Made in Italy

All the Warmset systems are made in Italy at the plant in Montecchio Maggiore, Vicenza. Warmset products are designed through an in-company study and an outside collaboration with designers and Italian architects. The idea behind Warmset isn’t just to make functional products, but also to pair technical solutions with the materials and design from the Italian tradition, creating a range of tasteful heating accessories that ensure clients’ well-being.
The reports on the inspection of materials, production and storage are Nemko and UL/CSA certified. The Filmcutter/Warmset group has obtained ISO-9001 certification, a symbol of extremely high efficiency of quality control.

Green Technology

With the Warmset heating system—which runs entirely on electricity—the energy generated by renewable sources can be completely converted into heat. The system can be connected to the most common renewable energy production systems, in some cases allowing for self-sustained heating or in any event, for a remarkable cut in costs.
The ever more essential production of energy from renewable sources (photovoltaic, wind turbine and hydroelectric systems) makes it possible for a system that only uses electricity to cut the costs of installation and hookup to natural fuel sources. Paired with storage batteries, Warmset’s heating can even make a home entirely self-sufficient.
The materials used for Warmset products are joined plastics mainly made out of PET and PP, metals like aluminum and iron and synthetic fabrics which are entirely recyclable. The production techniques for all the products follow the environmental protection rules.

Prevents Dust, Bacteria and Allergies

As far as hygiene is concerned, the underfloor heating has extremely interesting characteristics. First and foremost, since the floor is also the heating body, it is extremely easy to clean. In the underfloor systems, not using convectors for heating entirely stops the formation of clumps of dust. Furthermore, the small difference in temperature between the floor and the environment (about 4 °C) doesn’t cause convection flows and considerably reduces the kicking up of dust and with it, the bacteria that could cause allergies.
Irritation of the airways is entirely avoided, often caused by the combustion of the dust which has accumulated on the radiators, in which a high-temperature heat-transfer fluid (around 70 °C) flows.
Lastly, remember that heated floors get rid of humidity, which is the main cause of the proliferation of bacteria. Just think that a floor that is dry all winter can stop the spread of dust mites on the floors of your home, including those in the carpet,

Automated Control

Thanks to modern-day automated controls like thermostats, temperature sensors, thermal protectors and management control units, the Warmset system can be handled and controlled remotely or automatically.
An efficient and dynamic check of the heating results in great savings from cutting waste of energy and increasing the well-being and comfort linked to the control of the optimal heat and environmental parameters for the human body.
All this can be easily managed through specialized systems or your everyday technological devices like PC, smartphone or tablet, which guarantee a simple, convenient and handy control over the entire system.

Zero Electromagnetic Emissions

Thanks to its bifilar structure, the Warmset system doesn’t generate electromagnetic emissions. Its special build with two parallel conductors laid out causes the magnetic field produced by a conductor to be opposite and equal to the field of the other, creating a sort of screen that eliminates the magnetic field. This is because the two electric flows which run parallel in the two conductors go in opposite directions, entirely compensating the magnetic field created.
The consequences of the human body being exposed to magnetic fields is described in numerous texts and scientific research, like that done by the Federal Swiss Office of Public Health: www.bag.admin.ch
