Foil Heating System – FOIL
The Warmup FOIL system is suitable for use under engineered wood, laminate, or carpet.
The FOIL system features a dry installation because it simply gets sandwiched between the underlayment and finished flooring or carpet padding and carpet. The 20” wide product comes in different lengths and can be cut and flipped to fit a regularly shaped space.
