Thin, electric and quiet: floor heating that keeps mechanical space, ceiling height and trades to a minimum. Bring us the project early.
Developers, then builders, then architects
What it changes for your project.
For developers
Less plant. More building.
Electric film heating needs no boiler room, no ductwork and no water in the floor. That frees space and simplifies the suite.
No mechanical room for heat. The film runs on electricity. There is no boiler, pump, manifold or furnace to house, so floor area goes to suites, not plant.
Ceiling height kept. The dry film is about 2.5 mm thick, as described by the manufacturer. A thin heating layer helps keep floor-to-ceiling height, storey after storey.
Suite by suite. Each suite’s heating can run on that suite’s own electrical service, with its own thermostats. Metering and billing follow the electrical design.
Fewer trades on the floor. The film goes down between the insulation and the finish. An electrician connects the supply, sensor and thermostat; the flooring crew closes it up.
Ask for the records. Request the model data, installation instructions and the approval records that apply in your jurisdiction before you specify.
For builders
Dry in. Floor on. Done.
The dry film goes under floating wood or laminate with no pour and no curing. The schedule keeps moving.
No pour, no cure. Under a floating floor, the dry film needs no mortar or screed, so there is no curing time before the finish goes down.
Clear sequence. Subfloor and insulation, then the film, then the floor finish. Supply leads and the floor sensor are routed before the floor is closed.
Panels planned per room. Panel sizes and lead routes are laid out for each room before work starts, so the crew installs to a plan rather than improvising.
Wet areas covered too. Under tile and stone, a separate wet-installation film is built into the covered floor. Its own instructions apply.
For architects
Heat you design around, not for.
No registers, radiators or grilles. The heating disappears beneath the finish you choose.
Clean walls and floors. Nothing on the wall, nothing in the floor to cut around. Furniture and joinery go where the plan wants them.
Finish freedom. Wood and laminate over the dry film; tile and stone over the wet film. Each finish’s own temperature limit is respected in the design.
Radiant, even warmth. The whole film warms at once, so warmth rises from a broad surface rather than one routed line or one hot register.
Quiet rooms. No fans and no moving air from the heating. The film has no moving parts.
Against the usual choices
How film compares.
Plain differences, not ratings. Compare complete installed quotes for the same building before deciding.
Compared withHydronic floor heating
GreenCitizen film
A thin electric film. No boiler, pumps, manifolds or water in the floor. Dry film needs no pour.
Hydronic floor heating
Water tubing fed by a heat source and pumps. Embedded systems usually sit in a poured layer that needs curing time and adds height.
Compared withElectric cable mats
GreenCitizen film
Heat starts across the whole film surface. Under wood, it lays dry beneath a floating floor.
Electric cable mats
Heat starts along a routed cable. Many systems set the cable in mortar or a membrane under tile.
Compared withForced air
GreenCitizen film
Warmth from the floor surface. No ducts, no registers, no fan noise.
Forced air
A furnace heats air and a blower moves it through ducts and registers. Filters and ducts need regular service.
Model-specific technical data, the electrical approvals that apply in your jurisdiction, installation instructions, flooring compatibility and control documentation, each for the complete system rather than the film alone.
Are drawings or files available to download here?+
Request current, model-specific information through a project inquiry. Tell us which application and jurisdiction you are evaluating so the relevant documents can be identified.
Can you review a preliminary project?+
Yes. Send the location, intended application, floor assembly and approximate area; that is enough to set out the technical questions before anything is specified.
