What's more, because it does not use blowers, a Wirsbo system does not disperse allergens and pollutants into the air.

Warm Wirsbo floors are ideal for today's homes and rooms with towering or vaulted ceilings and expansive windows. It concentrates the heat near the floor, where you and your family can benefit from it.

Homeowners love Wirsbo's Radiant Floors
Comfortable and healthy heat:

"I have Wirsbo Radiant Floors in the master bathroom addition. I was pretty skeptical and really didn't understand how a radiant floor worked. It turns out now my master bath is the coziest room in the house. Even my kids go in there after sledding and lie on the floor to warm up. If I had known how wonderful it is, I would have put it in other parts of the house too. I've never been this comfortable. I adore it."  ,

"What I like about radiant floor heating is the nice ever heat over the whole room. You can zone it and regulate the temperature on a room by room basis. And there's nothing better than stepping onto a warm floor when you get out of bed on a cold winter morning."

Keeps walkways and driveways clear:

"My Wirsbo Snow & Ice Melting system has saved me so much time and effort, I don't even know how to measure that. I tell you, next to my Lasik surgery, my snow-melting system is the best thing I ever bought!"

Cold basements? Cold floors? Drafty rooms? The Wirsbo Quik Trak system brings affordable radiant heating solutions to troublesome cold spots in existing homes, thanks to a thin V2" profile that makes basement and above subfloor retrofits easier.

It's an easy installation and offers homeowners and builders an inexpensive way to increase the value of the home or building.
