Z Mesh: An Innovative Floor Heating System
Z Mesh is one of the most innovative floor heating systems available today on the market. It is a state of the art system that will work well in a number of interior locations as well as on roofs for snow melting. Z Mesh is a type of floor heating system that will provide comfort and warmth to you in your home or office building. Those of you who live in colder climates will find the added comfort and warmth provided by this style of radiant floor heat highly desirable.
The Z Mesh system is a low voltage heating element that operates under thirty two volts. It consists of a bronze screen that comes rolled for easy installation. The mesh comes in nine or twelve inch widths. The length of the rolls varies depending on the size of the room you wish to install your radiant heating system in. It’s great for any room as you can install it in a room that is as small as thirty square feet or as large as six hundred seventy square feet on one thermostat.
The mesh itself is very thin (similar to screen door material) so will not interfere with the flooring itself. Unlike other types of radiant heating products, the floor will not be raised, nor will the product be visible when you install your preferred type of flooring over the Z Mesh system. It doesn’t matter whether you choose hard wood, tile or carpet for your floors; you will enjoy the warmth and comfort of this product.
Z Mesh is easy to install and can add additional value to the home. It works with most types of flooring including hard wood, carpet and laminate flooring and requires no floor build up. Z Mesh is installed directly on the concrete or wood sub floor and can be either stapled or glued to stay in place.
You can install flooring over Z Mesh with no concerns about damaging the product. The mesh can be glued or stapled to the sub floor. You can also glue, staple or nail through the product when installing your flooring without any fear of damaging the heating element. Nailing or stapling through the product will not damage the heating element unless it comes in contact with something electrically conductive. Most standard installations of flooring will not pose a problem with this, whatsoever. The Z Mesh is highly durable and will withstand a lot of wear and tear in addition to installing the flooring over it.
It is also a safe product with the low voltage allowing you to touch the mesh directly even during operation. The transformer that is used to operate the system is run by a computer system. The computer continually monitors the unit and will diagnose any problems that may arise. If the unit begins to operate abnormally, it will automatically shut it off. This safety feature is great for people who might be worried about the safety of their family. You should install the transformer in a garage or utility area of your home.
Installation of the Z Mesh product is quick and easy. First you need to determine the total square footage of the room where the unit will be installed and order your materials from Z Mesh. The first step in installing your new system should always be to read the installation manual. The only person you will need to hire is an electrician to install the power to the control box and transformer. Any licensed electrician will be able to do this. Then you can lay down the Z Mesh on the sub floor, and finally program the thermostat. Once the unit is installed, you may then begin to install your floor of choice on top of the system. The instructions are clearly spelled out in detail in the installation manual as well.
People who live in colder climates will get a lot of joy and comfort from using their new alternative heating system. No more cold feet. The Z Mesh product is sturdy, durable, easy to install and safe for both home and office applications.
