Flextherm has developed the true science of well-being: Surround comfort. Inspired by nature, a floor warming and
heating system that applies the principles of radiant heat to provide users with the comfort they deserve.
The same way the sunshine makes a cool day more pleasant, Flextherm floor warming and heating systems provide,
gentle, enveloping warmth combined with healthy ambient air. Like the elements in the environment that absorb and
radiate solar energy, the objects, walls and people in a room absorb the heat emitted by the floor and distribute it
throughout the space. Unlike traditional localized heating sytems, this multiplies the sources of heat.
The principle of radiant heat is based on constant quest for balance: heat moves from warmer to colder surfaces to
reach an equilibrium by reducing the temperature difference. The temperature of the environment and of the
surface of the skin gravitate toward the same level, limiting loss of body heat. The beneficial effect for the occupant is
that the room feels warmer even though the air is cool and comfortable. No other conventional heating sytem can
rival suround comfort.

Safety: Quality That Shines Through
Flextherm never compromises on the quality of its products. Since the cables are installed under the floor surface,
everything is done to guarantee their performance and long-term reliability. All our sytems go through rigorously
precise quality control at every stage of production. Every cable is tested not just once, but twice!

Flextherm is synonymous with absolute quality. That's why Flextherm cables bear a limited warranty against any
manufacturing defect for 10 to 25 years, depending on the product.

Economy: 39% Better Performance
Flextherm is a true energy economizer. By heating solid masses instead of air, our radiant systems allow you to reduce
air temperature by 5 degrees C without affecting comfort. The occupant of the space feels warm, but the air actually
stays cool. The genius of this principle is that the benefits increase with size of the surface being heated: the larger
the surface, the lower the temperature required to reach a comfortable level.
As we all know, warm air rises, while heat spreads in all directions. In order to counter this imbalance, traditional
systems, which use air as the medium to distribute heat in the room, tend to overheat, resulting in extra energy
expenditure. With Flextherm products, air is not heated, so it doesn't rise to the ceiling, taking with it the heat of the
room. The higher the ceilings, the more noticeable the energy savings. Flextherm is a perfect union of performance
and energy savings.

Flextherm Programmable Thermostat - Simplicity At Its Best!
The Flextherm programmable electronic thermostat was designed to be extremely user friendly while offering
maximum flexibility. It offers three function modes: manual, automatic and vacation. The manual mode allows you to
maintain a constant temperature and the automatic mode executes the setting you have programmed into it. Simple
to program, the thermostat offers the possibility to modify the temperature four times during one day. This
intelligent control also has a function that enables it to determine when the system has to start up in order to reach a
certain temperature at a pre-selected time.
Featuring a high precision heat probe installed in the floor and an ambient air temperature sensor, it ensures
perfectly regular heat. These two regulating devices ensure increased comfort and optimum energy savings. Equipped
with a differential ground-fault circuit interrupter, the thermostat also acts as a safeguard for your system by
protecting it in case of defects.
