All About QuietWarmth
What is QuietWarmth?
Manufactured by MP Global Products, QuietWarmth radiant floor heating systems include film mats that combine over 30 years of unique radiant floor heating science with patented floor heating technology.

Warm Your Floor offers two options that are compatible with almost any floor type:
-
QuietWarmth Heating Film for Click-Together Floors
For use under click-together or “floating” floors such as laminate, solid and engineered wood, luxury vinyl flooring (LVF), and floating tile like Snapstone®, Avaire®, and Eclipse®
-
QuietWarmth Peel and Stick for Tile and Glue-Down Floors
For use under ceramic and porcelain tile, and marble and stone
Before installing QuietWarmth, always check with your floor covering manufacturer for compatibility with radiant heat systems.
What are the advantages of QuietWarmth?
Heated Floors Over Any Surface
QuietWarmth radiant heating films are among the easiest to install products in the industry, especially for click-together/floating floors. The films mats’ revolutionary construction means the energy delivery results in 100% coverage.
Install any QuietWarmth heating mat with no self-leveling mortar and no mess.
Install the QuietWarmth heated floor over a concrete slab, tile or even floating floors. Under click-together/floating floors, QuietWarmth requires no mortar or glue to install.
Simply unroll your mats, run the wires, and lay your floor.
Or for traditional tile or glue-down installations, attach the peel and stick mats directly to your subfloor and tile over normally, using thinset.
Cost Efficiency With A Programmed QuietWarmth Thermostat
QuietWarmth provides gentle heat for your feet for just pennies per day!
A 60 square foot area costs just $0.086 for the first hour to reach desired temperature and half that for every hour afterward (based on national average electricity rate of $0.12 per kilowatt hour).
To calculate the power consumption of your project, use the following formula:
Total Square Feet of Heated Area x 12 ÷ 1000 x Local Cost per Kilowatt Hour Electric Rate
To make your QuietWarmth floor even more energy efficient, add a thermostat to control temperature. It is always highly recommended to use a thermostat with your floor heating system to control the heat output. This way, you are not overheating your floors and they are warm when you need it.
How does it work?
MP Global Products uses conductive ink technology in their QuietWarmth film mats, powered via parallel factory-attached lead wires that consume less power than traditional wired radiant floor heating systems. The mats are so thin that they won’t raise the height of your floor.
Both peel and stick and click-together floor heating systems offer flexibility with the option to spot heat your floor by simply placing the mats where you want them. The film can also be cut to a desired length*.
*Cut-to-length feature now applies to the peel and stick mats for tile and glue-down floors as well.
Either style mat can be installed over a concrete or plywood subfloor according to their respective installation manuals. A lower vapor barrier must be installed onto a concrete subfloor before installing the film for floating floors. The peel and stick solution can be directly adhered to a flat and clean subfloor.
