ZMesh Heating Element

ZMesh

ZMesh is a 9 or 12 inch wide bronze mesh heating element used for in-floor total space heating, floor warming, and roof de-icing. ZMesh can be installed under roofing and under most floor coverings including carpet, hardwood, tile and slate. ZMesh's durability is also perfect for your remodeling/retrofit applications.

The ZMesh heating system provides innovative methods for radiant heating. Utilizing state of the art components and low-voltage electricity, our products are virtually maintenance free, and are safe and efficient in operation. ZMesh has a limited 25 year warranty and is engineered to provide simple and problem-free solutions. Our low-voltage products have been in use since 1978.

The Heatizon ZMesh heating element is the most advanced radiant heating element available on the market today. With no build up requirements, and the ability to nail or staple through, the ZMesh has little impact on any job. It also boasts the longest warranty in the industry. The ZMesh is also the most economical product on the market for heating areas of 200 to 1200.

 
ZMesh can be used for floor warming, roof-deicing (where non-metallic roofing materials are used), and countertop warming.

HOW ZMESH WORKS

The ZMesh floor warming product is a bronze mesh heating element that creates resistance heating when a specific amount of volts provided by a step down transformer is passed through it (typically 30 volts or less). The low voltage nature of the ZMesh makes it safe, long lasting, and maintenance free.

SAFETY

Most radiant heating systems on the market today are high voltage (120 to 240 volts) that hardwire directly into a thermostat and run throughout the area to be heated. The feeling of safety that comes from knowing that your low voltage Heatizon system is gently operating at 32 volts or less throughout your home is priceless. In addition to the low voltage safety, the Heatizon control box is also fitted with a self diagnosing computer board. This board certifies that the systems is operating at proper temperatures and shuts the system off under any abnormal conditions. It also turns its self off every 29 minutes to run a self checking diagnostic. The LED lights make it convenient to check the status of your system. Heatizon is the safest floor warming system in the world!

 
The Control Unit houses the computer board and low voltage transformer that continually monitors the system as it safely produces luxurious warmth and comfort.

LONGEVITY

The ZMesh is a resistance heating element is manufactured of the finest materials. ZMesh does not corrode. With 30 volts or less running through multiple strands your low voltage radiant heating element can withstand staples and nails found on the standard job site.

RELIABILITY

With no moving parts to replace or maintain, the ZMesh low voltage floor warming system is virtually maintenance free.

The ZMesh low-voltage products are safely installed under the floor covering with no floor buildup.		An activation device or thermostat allows you to select the perfect temperature for your floor. [More Info]

ZMESH APPLICATIONS

Due to the low profile nature of the ZMesh heating element (about the height of screen door material), the mesh is ideal under nearly all floor coverings. This includes laminate flooring and carpet.

In addition, the ability to nail or staple it down makes it perfect to be installed under hardwood flooring, regardless of the hardwood flooring install process. With the ZMesh, you don’t have to worry about breaking dangerous line voltage cables, or bursting warm water tubes. The mesh does not require any mud, cement, or thin set to be installed. This prevents the harmful effect that sweating concrete has on hardwood floors. The moisture from a thin set, mortar, or concrete pour often lasts several years. As the combination of moisture and heat mix into the wood, colors fade and cracking results from expansion and contraction. Prevent these hassles up front by installing the perfect heat for your hardwood floors.

ZMesh can be nailed or stapled through (provided it does not come in contact with metal), making its installation easier than other systems. Costly and disruptive floor "build-ups" are eliminated with the use of the flat ZMesh heating element.	The ZMesh runs 32 volts or less and does not require any thin set or mortar to apply. simply install the mesh on your sub floor, and carpet pad and carpet can be installed directly on top.

The Zmesh product can also be installed in all cement mortar applications including rock, stone, slate, travertine, ceramic tile and more. This makes it perfect to do large areas with multiple floor coverings. For example, if you had a kitchen with tile flooring, and a living room with carpet, you can run the ZMesh radiant heating element under both floor coverings on 1 zone. This saves money on installation, materials, and operation costs for your floor warming system!

RETROFIT IN FLOOR JOISTS

In many cases people don’t recognize how cold hard surface floor coverings are until it’s too late to install a floor warming system. However, if you have access to your floor joists from below, you are still in luck. The ZMesh can be stapled to the underside of your sub flooring and, with insulation, will efficiently warm your floors.

ZMesh limitations

There are 2 basic limitations for the ZMesh radiant heating element. First, although it is possible to nail or staple through the mesh it is not permitted to cut, slice, or tear the product without properly repairing the product (See repair kit). Second, no electrically conductive material can come into contact with the mesh. This would result in a short in your system. Metal lathe, flashing, heat vents, metal framing, etc… are not to be used with the ZMesh product.
