AURORA, Ill. - Aug. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- TEC® Skill Set introduces a UL®-approved floor warming system to its product line of tile installation materials sold at select Lowe’s®. TEC Skill Set™ In-Floor Heat is an innovative solution to previously difficult-to-install heating systems. With its infrared radiant heat technology, TEC™ Skill Set™ In-Floor Heat allows tile contractors to efficiently install a heating system with uniform warmth underneath tile and stone floors with the assistance of a licensed electrician.

In-floor heating systems are a growing 2015 remodeling trend. As bathrooms change from their practical roles to luxurious, spa-like environments, homeowners and commercial building owners are seeking to improve every aspect of the space — including the floor.

To add luxury, TEC™ Skill Set™ In-Floor Heat can be installed in residential and commercial indoor areas. It comes in three kits (15-, 26- or 50-square-foot heat mats) to accommodate various room sizes. Each kit includes a heat mat with attached wire harnesses, scissors and edge sealing tape. The heat mat features no embedded wires or coils. Tile contractors can easily cut the mat to fit the space, and seal the edges with tape conveniently provided within the kit to ensure uniform warmth. Multiple mats may lay side-by-side for even heat distribution across large surface areas, like a master bathroom. And at less than 1/64” thick, the mat will not change the height of the floor—a crucial detail when dealing with spaces near doorways and where two rooms meet.

Tile contractors can apply a latex modified thinset mortar, like TEC® Skill Set™ TotalFlex® Mortar, sold at select Lowe’s®, onto the prepared subfloor to install the heat sensor and heat mat. Once the mortar has cured, tile or stone can be installed directly on top of the heat mat. The floor temperature is controlled by a TEC™ Thermostat (sold separately), which should be hooked up by an electrician.

TEC™ Skill Set™ In-Floor Heat comes with a limited lifetime system warranty* when the product is installed with TEC® Skill Set™ mortar and grout. It’s available at select Lowe’s®stores nationwide. All TEC® Skill Set tile installation products are available at select Lowe’s® and online at lowes.com.
