Allergies? Nuheat Mats May be Able to Help
Posted under: Nuheat mats are a great heating option if you have allergies or if anyone in your home suffers from allergies. The fact is that most of us spend 90% or more of our time indoors, and we spend much of that time at home. If you have allergies, it’s important to keep your home as allergen-free as possible, so that you can breathe freely. Radiant floor heating mats can help in a number of ways:
1) By allowing you to switch to an allergen-resistant flooring surface. Many homeowners use rugs and carpets to keep their floors cozy and warm, but rugs and carpets can negatively affect indoor air quality. Carpeting and rugs can trap mold, dust, and even pesticides and toxins you track in from outsides. The adhesives used in carpeting can be toxic as well. Switching to electric flooring allows you to enjoy hard surface floors which are even more comfortable than carpet. With electric floor warming, you can enjoy floors that are warm and cozy.
2) By helping you keep your floors and home drier. An electric floor heating system can also help keep your floors drier, actually helping you combat mold and allowing you to enjoy a hard surface floor that is easy to clean regularly and to keep free of common allergens. Radiant floor heating mats gently warm your entire floor surface, and warmth makes it harder for bacteria, mold, and many common allergens to thrive.
3) By allowing you to get rid ducts and vents. Ducts and vents can easily trap mold, dust, and other common allergens and then actually make them airborne when your forced air heating system is on. While you can clean ducts and vents to minimize the allergens released all over your home, regular cleaning is time-consuming and only partly effective. With a radiant Nuheat system, you can get rid of ducts and vents entirely and enjoy a floor heat system that does not distribute allergens all over your home.
4) By allowing you to get rid of space heaters, radiators, and baseboard heaters, all of which can trap dust in your home. Since Nuheat mats are installed entirely under your floors, there are no places or devices that can trap dust. This means less dusting for you and less dust in your home.
If you are concerned about allergies or indoor air quality, studies have suggested that electric flooring can help you get a handle on allergies while improving indoor air quality in your home. In fact, many homeowners switch to electric floor warming in order to get relief from allergies. You will get more information from http://www.floorheatdirect.com or http://www.warmyourfloor.com.
