A new way to heat your home. Radiant heat, where a heating element is placed under floors, has been around for some time and is usually done by sending hot water through tubes placed under the floor.
This is an electric radiant heating system called the Step Warmfloor.
These plastic strips are stapled under the floor and a low-voltage current runs through it to provide heat. The installation is done by an electrician. The company says the system is more efficient than hot water radiant heat and easier to install.
