This depends on a number of factors like the sub-floor type and insulation: a cement sub-floor will be slow to warm without a thermal barrier, creating a significant drag on the performance of the floor. A layer of high quality insulation will have a dramatic effect in these circumstances, speeding up the initial warm up times to within 15-20 minutes.

The surface temperature of the floor depends upon several variables: the spacing between adjacent runs of cable, the depth from the cable to the tiles' surface, the total thermal mass of the floor, and the temperatures of the room and area beneath the floor. For this reason, the temperature range will vary from installation to installation. Generally, Warm Tiles cables will warm a floor to a maximum of about 90?F. See similar questions...

Ceramic tile in either glazed or unglazed form do not need to be sealed. These products are impervious to moisture and topical sealers will not properly adhere to them. Also, you can not change or alter the appearance or the sheen of a ceramic tile by adding a sealer. Therefore, a sealer in not recommended for glazed and unglazed surfaces. See similar questions...

It is preferred to use a thinset mortar for floors, but in residential use, mastic can be used with tile up to 6" x 6" in size on floors. See similar questions...

There are many variables that can effect the floor temperature, but generally the floor will warm to about 90°F. Warming Systems products are designed for easy installation by the average do-it-yourselfer, making sure all local electrical building codes are followed. See similar questions...

Floors over unheated crawlspaces or basements should be insulated to R-19, while floors over open air (such as overhangs) should be insulated to R-30 if possible. If your home has a basement containing your heating system or other sources of heat, you should insulate the basement walls to R-11, rather than insulating the floor above. See similar questions...

Tile roofs are good insulators. The combined effect of the roof tiles, decking and the air space between the tiles allows for better air circulation and thereby reduces direct heat transfer. This results in lower air conditioning costs in the summer and decreases the formation of ice dams in the winter. BACK TO TOP See similar questions...

Typically the removal and disposal of that type of asbestos containing material is not regulated by EPA (even commercially) if it is in good condition. If the material can be taken up with no significant breakage, there is little risk for fiber release. See similar questions...

If you wish, you can insulate the walls of a box cooker with various substances. Fiberglass or Styrofoam is usually not recommended since they give off ill-smelling gases as they heat up. Natural substances such as cotton, wool, feathers, or even crumpled newspapers work well. Many people, however, leave the walls empty of any stuffing, preferring instead to place a piece of foiled cardboard as a baffle inside the wall airspace. This makes a lighter cooker and seems to be adequate. See similar questions...

Only when installing over a porous floor, this means a floor that can "absorb" some of the liquid such as a plywood, or concrete sub-floor. DO NOT use another primer in conjunction with the Basement Proofer and never use primer when installing over existing vinyl flooring. See similar questions...

Traditional use of plywood is a well-proven method but it is difficult to cut around complicated bathroom objects, is heavy and relatively expensive; it will require fixing to the sub-floor and primed prior to the use of tile adhesive. Fastwarm® insulation boards will achieve the same result being easy to cut with a sharp knife, available in more manageable sizes, very light weight, completely water and rot resistant, requiring no special priming to apply floor tile adhesive and low cost.

Most patients recover quite quickly from surgery. The initial phase requires healing the incision and the soft tissues which typically occurs over the first few weeks. Patients are walking the day following surgery, and from that day, they can expect to ambulate on a daily basis. The rate of recovery is dependent on each individual patient and their health status before surgery. If patients are healthy before the surgical procedure, we expect them to recover quite quickly.

Water and oil will bead up on your floor when sealed as recommended in our Installation Specification Guide. You need only mop it up with a sponge. For routine cleaning vacuum or sweep it, as you would any other natural stone floor or a wood floor. To wipe up, use a non-acid based cleaning product. Warm, soapy water is also fine. AquaMix makes a tile cleaning product, Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner, which can be used on your floor. Check their website at www.aquamix. See similar questions...
