Zmesh is a safe, UL listed, low-voltage element in either a 9 or 12 inch wide bronze mesh, similar to screen door material. Because of its low profile (only 1/16th of an inch) installing any floor surface over Zmesh is simple. Unlike with hydronic systems (water/glycol mix), no cement or under floor support is required. Zmesh is the best radiant floor warming solution for under carpet, hardwood, tile, marble, slate, linoleum, and vinyl installations available.

Zmesh Floor Warming
 

Zmesh can be stapled and nailed through for easy installation. In addition, surface buildup is not necessary with Zmesh. Install it directly under hardwood flooring, carpet, tile, linoleum or vinyl, and marble. It is zone controlled by a computer/transformer that mounts on a wall in a closet or in a basement. A 7-day programmable thermostat controls either room or floor temperature.


Zmesh Staples Down
 

ZMesh is a unique product because of its extremely low profile (less than 1/16") and ability to heat evenly. No other heating product can match its characteristics. This even, slow growth heat coupled with the exclusive ability to be nailed or screwed through anywhere in the layout allows you to choose any type of wood flooring you like. This includes exotics, wide or short plank, hard or soft woods.

Since ZMesh is so thin, it will not affect your floor buildup, weight loads or flooring choices. ZMesh can be installed underneath carpet or sandwiched between your sub-floor and cement board to heat tile. No additional mortar or thin set is needed to cover the ZMesh element and, if you decide in 10 years that you no longer like he tile design you originaly chose, it is still safe under the cement board when you remove the old tile.

ZMesh can be retrofit between the joists below. The pictures below are viewed looking up from the basement. The Zmesh low voltage element was installed when the hydronics system failed and the homeowner didn't want to lose the mahagony hardwood floor installed over it.
