Has anyone tried or used these?

I was looking at ways to get heat on the floor and came across this solution: speedheat

Has any one had any experience with these products?

They have heated rugs, panels and Lanimate strips.....
  • Forum member "pianotuna" is using that or something like it. Search on his posts, you should come up with something.
  • I have never seen those, interesting though. Kind of expensive for a heated rug. We run a ceramic box heater in our basement, therefore our bedroom and bathroom floors stay nice and warm.

    The only way the living area floors stay warm is if the furnace is running once and awhile. I just don't think paying that much for a heated rug would help us much.
  • Hi,

    And if there is no basement to heat, then electric carpets improve comfort levels enormously. I chose to get the indoor/outdoor version of them. The ones I purchased are expensive--but have no wires to break and can be custom cut to shape. See the Winter Camping sticky under full timers forum for a link.

    Canadian Rainbirds is using under laminate heating which would be even better.
  • I installed a simular product in the grout/mastic beneath the ceramic tile in our bathroom. It works great and is probably a lot more durable, since it has ceramic tile preventing any wear and tare.
  • Hi old guy,

    Yup, but slippers don't cut it at -36 c (-33 f)

  • See thread...

    "Do any 5ers come with heated tile floors?"

    Inc'l cautionary thought/s for C-Bears warm floor solution...;)
