What is HexHeat?
HexHeat Plug & Play is an ingenious heating system specially designed for use under laminate, luxury vinyl flooring and stone composite flooring. HexHeat is a radiant flooring product that very effectively distributes the heat in your home or business.
HexHeat is a North American patented professional grade DIY infrared heating film that anyone can install. Wishco partners with local businesses for those who are not interested in installation.
HexHeat is a simple to install, easy plug & play system that provides continual and thorough heating.
How does HexHeat work?
HexHeat heating film is installed on concrete basement subfloors or any other plywood subfloor. HexHeat’s heating technology is based on the electric resistance of carbon. Our heating film has excellent insulating and fire proof properties and only reactivates when the surface temperature drops below the set thermostat temperature. The infrared heating film is manufactured of carbon and silver lattice on proprietary Laminex Film. The copper bus bar provides the electric current, while the silver lattice secures the material to prevent sparking.

Why should I choose HexHeat?
HexHeat is healthy heat
HexHeat is a far-infrared radiant heat that provides a longer lasting and more thorough heat than other heating systems. HexHeat is known to effectively suppress odors and growth of germs resulting in a healthier environment.
Our heat film technology produces nearly identical radiant heat waves as the sun. The same way the sun heats water, HexHeat’s infrared heating system transfers heat to our bodies and can effectively and gently increase blood circulation, rid the body of toxins and even provide pain relief.
Unlike forced air heating systems, our far-infrared radiant heating system does not blow dust or allergens which helps asthmatics and those with allergies. HexHeat provides stable moisture which is great for rheumatism sufferers and reduces the growth of mold and mites.

HexHeat is uniform heat
HexHeat’s far-infrared heat film technology requires a lower ambient temperature to warm an area than other forms of heat because it covers the entire floor surface area and radiates heat upward. This fills the entire room with uniform heat throughout. The far-infrared carrier waves heat the room uniformly and provide the sensation of the warm sun on your body. Once HexHeat in-floor heating reaches the optimum temperature, it uses very little energy to maintain this uniform heat throughout the area.

HexHeat is a fantastic replacement for baseboard heaters
Baseboard heaters are usually installed on exterior walls under a window, typically the coldest area of the room. Thermostats are often located on an interior wall across the room. This location difference creates varied temperatures across the room. Baseboard heaters must heat the air and are constantly cycling on and off. HexHeat in comparison heats the room evenly and more efficiently.

HexHeat works well with Heat Pumps, VRF and Mini-Splits
HexHeat is a perfect complement to mini split systems, VRFs, and heat pumps. As we work with many contractors we have learned there is a need for an energy efficient solution to provide supplementary or primary heat if a system fails for any reason during the cold winter temperatures. Many of these contractors shared that HexHeat in-floor heating film offers a far more efficient alternative to secondary baseboard heating.
Depending on application requirements, running coils into other rooms may be cost prohibitive. HexHeat solved those problems as well. By using mini-splits and VRFs with HexHeat in tandem, we maximize energy efficiency while maintaining a client’s budget.

HexHeat’s patented connections are designed for easy installation
The incredible innovation of our Plug & Play assembly has resulted in HexHeat being the only heat film available on the market today with patented connectors designed for easy installation. Our factory engineering has designed a hard mounted wiring harness that interconnects the films together to eliminate the potential of wiring shorts that have previously been associated with film technology. This innovation has led to full North American UL approval certification.
