| Article | As more consumers learn about the benefits of radiant floor heating systems, an increasing number are having the technology installed into their homes for use with hardwood, ceramic tile and laminate flooring. As a result—with interest growing as well among designers, architects, renovators and home builders—the list of companies providing the technology of warmth underfoot has swelled in recent years. Also, radiant heating has proven to be quite the money maker for those willing to learn more about it and how to sell it. What had been out of sight (or under the floor) and out of mind is now top of mind with those wanting to make a profit. The following is a list of radiant floor heating system manufacturers, the products they offer and how to contact them: Alloc, Inc. 3441 South Memorial Dr. Racine, WI 53403 Products: Alloc Heating System, laminate and hardwood flooring.
